In this episode of Audiobook Connection, host Becky Parker Geist sits down with author Rory Surtain to explore the creative journey behind his urban fantasy novel Saintsville and its immersive full-cast audiobook production.
Rory shares how he made a bold career shift from decades in high tech to becoming a full-time novelist, writing across paranormal fantasy, science fantasy, and dystopian worlds. He talks candidly about finding his writing voice, developing story themes organically, and why emotional truth—not just world-building—is the thread that holds a story together.
The conversation dives deep into Rory’s writing process, including writing “by the seat of his pants,” rediscovering story momentum through revision, and letting inspiration strike when it’s least expected. Rory also unpacks the central themes of Saintsville, including identity, trauma, healing, and found family, all woven seamlessly into a dark yet deeply human urban fantasy set in a magical version of New Orleans.
