The Alignment Show Ep. 47 with Harrison Stockeland

In my experience, we always have great conversations with our guests, but I have to say, “Wow!” this week. I can only imagine what it would have been like for me as a writer if I had taken the route Harrison Stockeland did in high school. Harrison is an American author whose take on the crime-thriller genre has been termed “twisted originality.” Incorporating real historical events and environments into his fiction novels is Stockeland's signature style. Though The Alignment Show isn’t particularly a writer’s show, I have to admit we geeked out a bit about the process, and whether you have any writing ambitions or not, there is solid material here to encourage anyone pursuing their own journey in whatever field! On The Alignment Show, we focus on how people identified what’s important to them and aligned their lives around that. Harrison did that quite early. We talked with him about how he discovered that at such a young age as well as the challenges facing young writers. One little tweak: since we broadcast live, I haven’t tried fo “fix” the videos on the following channels, but I did have a bit of “brain flatulence” toward the end of the episode. Despite what you might see in the video, our guest next week will be Deb Krier. We also look forward to talking with Deborah Kevin on Feb. 16. Resources we discussed include: * Harrison’s website, where you can purchase copies of either or both of his books and get signed copies. * Harrison’s LinkedIn. * Harrison’s Instagram. If you prefer getting books from Amazon, here are links to Harrison’s books: * Watch It Burn (Kindle edition) * Watch It Burn (print edition) * November’s Whisper (all editions) Interested in checking out The Way of the Three-Year-Old Why?
