This week on Epic Realms, Nick sits down with independent horror and sci fi author Joe Prosit for a deep dive into creativity, conventions, and carving your own path in publishing.

From growing up on GI Joe comics to serving in the Army and eventually launching a full time writing career, Joe shares his unconventional journey into indie publishing. He opens up about rejection letters, discovering the power of self publishing, and why conventions account for 90 percent of his sales.

The conversation explores genre blending, fast paced storytelling, outlining versus discovery writing, and how horror, sci fi, and what Joe calls psycho fiction all intersect in his work. They also discuss his latest novel, Reality Reaction Team, a mind bending sci fi thriller about secret agents who determine whether reality itself is real, and They Come From Below, a Lovecraft inspired horror set in small town Minnesota. Not to mention prepping to release his first Fantasy series, of which he has 5 books done and will be publishing the first one soon!

Plus, Joe reveals exciting news about The Black Heart Unbroken, a short film adaptation of his work premiering at the North Star Film Festival.

If you are an aspiring writer, horror fan, convention regular, or creative entrepreneur, this episode is packed with insight, honesty, and inspiration.
