On the “CC & JT Amateur Hour,” we interview Ron Roman, a retired professor and author, who shares insights into his writing journey, the themes of his book “Of Ashes and Dust,” a Finalist in the Chanticleer International Book Awards. The discussion explores the post-apocalyptic genre, character development, and the unique perspectives of those living outside their home country.
Post-apocalyptic narratives like those in Ron’s book often explore the fragility of civilization and the resilience of the human spirit. He emphasizes that the current global climate, marked by political tensions and environmental crises, makes these stories particularly relevant today. He notes, "We are at the edge, living in a dangerous era. The proliferation of nuclear weapons and the digital landscape keep us aware of potential chaos."
Ron also reflects on the writing process, the importance of perseverance in publishing, and the role of veterans in society. The episode concludes with Ron reading an excerpt from his book and discussing his future projects.
