Welcome to Almost Here, Around the Corner of Future Technology Podcasts with Richard Jacobs.

Future Technologies is to transform our lives for better or worse or the focus of this podcast.

Almost here means these technologies are now here and starting to be used.

Or just around the corner, for Bitcoin to artificial intelligence,

3D printing, blockchain, virtual reality, and more.

Hello, this is Richard Jacobs with the Future Tech Podcast. My guest today is Katie Edwards and author of books in the

Tarot sequence such as Hanged Men and The Last Sun.

The Katie how you doing?

I'm doing very well.

Thanks for having me.

Yeah.

Yeah, yeah even though you may not consider authors to be a future check, I do, you know, especially a science fiction one, so that's why I wanted to speak to you. So, um, yeah, can you tell me a little bit about your background and how you got into writing, you know,

what were you doing before you were writing and what led you into it?

Oh man, I can't ever remember that far back.

That's something from the very beginning.

I've always wanted to be a writer. I mean since I was a little kid I would know I remember even like writing newsletters for our household that I would publish from the start I was just kind of entranced by story so I literally can't remember when I wanted to do it I know that about five years ago I finally made the decision that I wanted it to do more than just a hobby I did in my certain time. So I really set out kind of training myself to write the novel I just wrote. You know, I have a couple of novels sitting in my drawer in my study, which will never see the light of day. but it trained me to the point where I finally was able to

write the last song, the first novel on the tarot sequence. It's something I wanted to do.

This is an idea to send my head to quite well.

Hmm.

So it looks like from the comments I've seen online and from other authors, they say like you're

a master world building.

So I don't know, tell me about that.
