  • Larry Morris on Writing and Publishing Science Fiction

    Larry Morris on Writing and Publishing Science Fiction
    Dec 20 2023
    Welcome to the award-winning The Hill Country Authors Podcast. In this podcast, Hill Country resident Tom Fox visits with authors who live in and write up the Texas Hill Country.  In this episode, Tom visits with author Larry Morris, a science fiction writer from Wimberly, TX. Larry Morris, a former software architect with over two decades of experience in data processing at BMC Software in Houston, found a new passion in writing science fiction as he approached retirement. After a successful career in the tech industry, Larry transitioned into a successful career as a science fiction author, publishing his first book in 2011. His perspective on writing is shaped by his preference for working with small groups of potential writers with established authors rather than larger organizations focused on critiquing each other's work. Larry's passion for science fiction, combined with his unique approach to writing and collaboration, has led to the creation of his popular Salvage series and a fulfilling second career. Join Tom Fox and Larry Morris on this episode of the Hill Country Authors Podcast to learn more about Larry's successful transition from software architect to sci-fi author.

  • Peggy Sundberg – Cowgirl Peg & Crooze on Croozer: Blind Inspiration

    Peggy Sundberg – Cowgirl Peg & Crooze on Croozer: Blind Inspiration
    Jul 12 2023
    Welcome to the award-winning The Hill Country Authors Podcast. In this podcast, Hill Country resident Tom Fox visits with authors who live in and write up the Texas Hill Country. In this episode, Tom visits with children’s book author Peggy Sundberg, Cowgirl Peg. Peggy has achieved inspiring success stories through her love of writing and animals. Peggy, born and raised in Alvin, Texas, developed a love of writing and horses from a young age and had a lifelong dream of rescuing ancient horses that nobody wanted anymore. She was able to pursue her dream when she was 50, and her lifestyle changed, living in a horse trailer and a barn on a small ranch in western Colorado. Peggy had four horses and five fosters residing on the ranch and worked with a group out of Denver to foster horses. She also had a lifelong dream of writing children’s books with meaningful messages and could do this after rescuing a little horse and hearing his story. The book was about friendship and tolerance of differences in a happy way. Peggy’s latest book, Crooze on Croozer, was not planned and was inspired by a woman who asked her to write a book about her dog. The book is about a blind blue healer dog and is told from the dog’s perspective. Peggy did research with the Texas School for the Blind to ensure she was getting the story right, and the book is meant to be a feel-good story and to inspire those with disabilities to do great things. The book is a truly Texan product, and I hope it will make kids think about what it would be like to be blind and appreciate what they can see.
