Firefighter Turned Author: Jason Powell on the real-life experiences behind his novel NO MAN'S GHOST

from Angie and Christie Write Now! · host AngieandChristieWriteNow

Get ready to meet a real-life hero turned storyteller! Jason Powell is a New York City firefighter and an author whose debut novel is sure to ignite excitement among readers. Born the youngest of nine children, this firefighter learned the value of sweet escapes and alone time early on. Now, when he's not battling blazes or saving lives, you'll find him wandering the vibrant streets of NYC with his trusty backpack, filled with snacks and novels (like any true author!). His stories have been printed in notable publications like Slate and many others and showcase his talent for weaving compelling narratives. But it’s his debut novel, "No Man's Ghost," published by Agora Books, that takes us into the heart of the FDNY, where probationary firefighter Charles Davids faces the ultimate trial by fire in his first week on the job. From teasing and pranks to the real-life dangers of the city, Jason's storytelling captures the raw intensity of life on the front lines. Get ready to dive into the pages of "No Man's Ghost" and uncover the thrilling journey that awaits. #authorpodcast #authortube #authorvlog #authorpodcast #writing #writer #writerslifewednesdays #writingtips #writingadvice #writingabook #amwritingpodcast #am-writing #afrocentric #blackauthors #blackauthorsmatter Podcast Links Email: [email protected] Twitter: http://www.twitter.com/@angiechristiewn Instagram: http://www.instagram.com/angiechristiewritenow Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/AngieChristieWriteNow Threads: http://www.threads.net/@angiechristiewritenow TikTok: http://www.tiktok.com/@angiechristiewritenow YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/@AngieChristieWriteNow Website: Angie's Links Twitter: http://www.twitter.com/@angiesandro FB Page: http://www.facebook.com/253044268078356 Amazon: http://www.amazon.com/Angie-Sandro/e/...
