Embodying Reality Into Fiction: Trapped In Deception By Ken Webb
Manage episode 500444958 series 3450378
Today, I sit down with Ken Webb — retired U.S. Army Lieutenant Colonel, former American Airlines professional, and now debut author of Trapped in Deception. Mr. Webb brings a lifetime of service, travel, and life lessons into a conversation that blends military experience, civilian transitions, and the art of turning real-life betrayal into a gripping novel.
We explore Mr. Webb’s 33 years in the Army Reserves, including 18 years of active duty spread across deployments, military police work, and military intelligence. He shares how balancing civilian and military careers shaped his resilience, perspective, and ability to adapt — and why he believes the Reserves can be a rewarding path for the right person. We also discuss his time living abroad in Peru, learning Spanish, and setting new personal goals after retirement.
We get into his upcoming novel, Trapped in Deception, inspired by real people and experiences. Mr. Webb explains how betrayal from a once-close friend became the foundation for a story about trust, manipulation, and the power of forgiveness. Along the way, he offers insights on letting go of resentment, writing with purpose, and finishing the creative projects most people never start. Whether you’re a veteran, an aspiring writer, or someone navigating life after a major transition, this episode has lessons on resilience, discipline, and living with intention.
