Moses Siregar III is back on the show, interviewing James A. Owen at Phoenix Comicon. James Owen is a YA author, an illustrator and a motivational speaker. More about James on his “About the Author” page. Buy James Owen’s books at Coppervale International Marketplace.
Discussed:
- The relationship between his StarChild comics and his newest work in Fool’s Hollow (illustrated prose novels) – “Fool’s Hollow is the perfect pure fairy tale that the StarChild comics are an adaptation of.”
- The Chronicles of the Imaginarium Geographica (Simon and Schuster Books for Young Readers). Here There Be Dragons is the first book. The First Dragon, Book Seven, releases in November.
- His The Meditations Trilogy: Drawing Out the Dragons, The Barbizon Diaries, and The Grand Design: A Meditation on Creativity, Ambition, and Building a Personal Mythology (<– pre-order link)
- Quote from Drawing Out the Dragons, “Live deliberately. Decide, are you the kind of person that things happen to or the kind of person who makes things happen.”
- How his career has evolved into being a motivational speaker for middle school children. Follow his blog, The Signal.

The Classic Series enters NOW Space.
When last we left our heroes they were trapped in a strange dimension with strange aliens and stranger relationships.
Laura Shemzak? Still hot and ready to party… But with her handsome brother Calspar? Um, time to cool those rockets!
And the Federation? Up to their dystopian mischief. If only that Tars Northern, his ship the STARBOW and their crew — including Laura and Cal Shemzak — could be captured. But there’s a joker in this new deck. The joker is dead serious, though — a brain that used to be a man named Dr. Harla Zox. Packing a new sinister power in his starship, he’s fresh from destroying the planet that had once harbored him.
Cult favorite David Bischoff returns to the starways, aided and abetted by hot new science fiction talent Saul Garnell to bring you old fashioned space opera thrills enough to rattle any modern tractor beam!
