In Episode 4 of Big Rascals, we discuss our top 5 influences for becoming writers, a little about our own projects we're working on and the books "Seventh Sons" and "Red Prophet" by Greg's favorite author Orson Scott Card. There will be spoilers!!! So go read the two books and discover a new amazing series, then come back and listen.
The "Alvin Maker" series is an alternate history fantasy saga by Orson Scott Card about Alvin Miller, the seventh son of a seventh son, who possesses the supernatural ability of a "maker" to create and shape matter. Set in a 19th century America where folk magic is real, Alvin must navigate his powers, a destined conflict with the destructive Unmaker, and a journey toward creating a utopian city called the Crystal City. The series follows his life from childhood to maturity, exploring themes of destiny, morality, and the clash between creation and destruction.

We want Big Rascals to be a community or a "club." So don't hesitate to leave a comment or suggestion on what next book you would like us to discuss and we will do our best to accommodate. We are also looking for sponsors or donors. We can be reached at [email protected]. We are extremely grateful for any and all support! Thank you!

For our next book to read as a club, Geoff has decided on "The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe" by C.S. Lewis.

Keep reading, keep writing, and stay rascally my friends!
