About this listen

Peter Gooch is the author of the new novel "Lips." He was on the show last year for his debut novel "Seren." He is a painter, writer, and former art professor living in New Mexico. His short fiction has appeared in numerous literary magazines and online. Originally from Ann Arbor, Michigan, he holds an MFA from Western Michigan University. He resides in Corrales with his wife, Dr. Sharon Ransom.

We talk about coming up with the idea for "Lips," developing characters, overcoming fear to write risky material like sex scenes, writing technique and craft, favorite authors and their use of language, writing endings, the difficulty of writing happiness, the importance of having fun in art, finding a good space to write, cultivating the creative writing mindset, his upcoming book "AIX," and more.
