MIND YO' LIFE - Reinvention: Mafia, Mythology, and the Mind of B.C. James

In this crossover edition of Mind Yo' Life, recorded live inside Morgenstern's Bookstore Podcast Studio, Andrew hosts a special author talk with B.C. James to promote his latest novel Mjolnir—a mythologically charged reimagining of the legendary hammer that dives deeper than anything the Marvel universe has portrayed.   B.C. James shares the incredible journey that led him here: from working with the Detroit mafia in his early years, to turning his life around through a passion for computers.   He now works as a successful software engineer, helping develop the touchscreen systems found in modern-day vehicles. But beyond code and tech, writing remains his true creative outlet. In this interview, B.C. talks about his success with earlier novels, including how he managed to get Lzzy Hale, lead singer of Halestorm, to appear as a character in one of his books.   He also offers his take on the pop culture misconceptions around Norse mythology—especially the hammer Mjolnir itself—and why telling a more grounded, authentic story matters to him as both an author and a fan of mythic narratives.   His books, including Mjolnir, are available now on Amazon.   Whether you're interested in transformation, storytelling, or the power of second chances, this conversation offers a behind-the-scenes look at an author who's lived a life as epic as the stories he tells.   B.C.
