The Going North Podcast Interview

I'm pleased and excited to post my latest podcast interview! I had the pleasure of joining The Going North Podcast hosted by Dom Brightmon. This podcast is geared toward discussing the writing process, positivity, and inspiring people to start writing, even if they're not yet authors. "Join the pursuit of immortality and become an author," so says the host.

We spoke about the writing process, inspiration, and my two books, both available on Amazon. MAGGLIO CERVANTES is a novel told by the immortal main character in a 1st-person account as he traverses the centuries, starting in 14th century Europe amidst the plague. UNLAUNDERED SHORTS is a book of short stories, thought provoking and entertaining, even if not intended for the gentle reader.

I submitted an Interview Request form to the popular Going North Podcast. The host sifted though hundreds of interview requests, adjudicating for approval, and I was chosen! Dom and I spoke via Zoom on a Monday evening, November 4.

As preparation, I'd listened to a number of prior Going North Podcast episodes. Then, I practiced answering anticipated questions during my morning walks with Ghost Dog.

Much respect to the host, Dom Brightmon! He has a full time job and still makes time to feed his passion, hosting his podcast. He is tenacious, gracious, and prolific conducting 2-3 podcast interviews weekly! He was well prepared and I enjoyed my time with him. Please click [HERE] to listen.

Klem's Goals For 2025

It's important to have goals. It's also important to put them in writing and make others aware, because it enhances one's accountability and improves the odds of success. So here are my 2025 goals:

• Read 52 books.
• Healthy and active: [1] 100 bicycle rides, and [2] 40 pool swims of 1,000+ yards or 30+ minutes of swimming.
• Complete the first draft of my second novel, Island Of Sanity.
• Upload online audio files of me reading my two books for free listening; [1] Magglio Cervantes and [2] Unlaundered Shorts.
• Research feasibility of a BookBub website book promotion for Magglio Cervantes.
• Monthly day trip to hit an item off my Retirement Fun To-Do list.
• Travel: [1] domestic 20+ days, not including travel days, [2] international.

There are additional goals, administrative in nature, which I won’t burden you with here. Please drop a few of your own goals in the Comments field, or suggestions for me if I missed anything.
