Frank Talaber - The Storyteller's Mind Never Sleeps
from Women Like Me Stories & Business · host Julie Fairhurst
Send us Fan MailStep into the imaginative world of Frank Talaber, a prolific Canadian author who has mastered the art of blending mystery, spirituality, and the supernatural. Frank's journey began with "Ravens Lament," inspired by the sacred golden spruce of Haida Gwaii. What makes his creative process truly remarkable is his connection to the stories themselves. At Victoria Museum, he experienced voices attempting to communicate with him, which a First Nations reader later suggested was spirits reaching out to someone who could share their narratives. This profound experience shaped Frank's approach to weaving Indigenous and Celtic traditions into contemporary fiction that resonates with readers on a spiritual level.Unlike many writers, Frank dismisses the concept of writer's block entirely. Through a technique learned in his high school creative writing class, writing continuously without concern for grammar or punctuation, he allows his creativity to flow unimpeded. Frank's commitment to authenticity shines through his research process, which he considers foundational to great storytelling. His advice to aspiring writers is refreshingly straightforward: persist through rejection (he received 398 before his first acceptance) and trust your creative instincts.Email: [email protected] Webpagehttps://franktalaberpublishedauthor.wordpress.comNovels on Amazon. https://www.amazon.com/stores/Frank-Talaber/author/B00UC407R0https://www.amazon.ca/Autumns-Summer-Felicity-Talisman/dp/1738658376 My Novels on Audible https://www.audible.ca/author/Frank-Talaber/B00UC407R0https://www.audible.ca/author/Felicity-Talisman/B0D322DCBRMy YouTube Channel. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCx5ki4gpdokN-9KAIZzu53wIf this conversation stirred something in you… good.
