Hello My Happy People,
Oh, how I missed you! But we are back with a BANG to start Book Banter with Dianne Burckhardt—Book Talk Podcast Season 5. We are kicking off Lovefest with someone who embodies pure creative joy. E. K. Johnston is not only a multi-#1 New York Times bestselling author and a dedicated professional who takes her craft seriously, she is also an unapologetic Star Wars fan who ended up writing for the franchise while still being one of its biggest fans.
In this episode, she talks about stepping into the galaxy far, far away to write Star Wars™: Ahsoka, what it means to love a franchise from both sides of the page, and why fandom has always been a natural part of her creative life. We also get into her love of LEGO® builds, including the massive Rivendell set that proves she has the patience of a saint and the heart of a true Lord of the Rings fan.
E.K.'s personality really shines in this conversation. She is funny, warm, insightful, and intensely passionate about storytelling. Whether she is talking about her recent book Sky on Fire, her worldbuilding process, or her lifelong love of epic worlds and big ideas, her passion shows up in everything she does.
She is the perfect person to open Lovefest because she reminds us all why we fall in love with stories in the first place. Her enthusiasm is contagious, her dedication is admirable, and her joy for her favorite fandoms makes this episode the best possible start to Season 5.
