In this episode of The Writer’s Table, Scott sits down with author and NASA Solar System Ambassador Mark Benson to explore the emotional and cosmic layers behind his YA contemporary novel, Isaac and the Sky.From deep personal trauma to the vast mysteries of space, this conversation dives into how discovery can become a path to healing. Mark shares how his real-life work with NASA and the Adler Planetarium helped shape Isaac’s journey—blending science, grief, and hope into a story that asks one powerful question: what happens when the unknown becomes your way forward?Together, we explore the real-life mystery of Planet Nine, the importance of inspiring young minds to look up at the stars, and how storytelling can connect us to something bigger than ourselves.Connect with Mark:AuthorMarkBenson.comInstagram TikTok Get The Book:www.authormarkbenson.com AmazonThis Week’s Small Business Spotlight: Aurelia Design StudioThis week’s spotlight is Aurelia Design Studio, your go-to for all things stationery.
