Mike Bockoven explains how a trip to Disneyland inspired his horror novel - FantasticLand, why he writes in a first-person interview style and how he uses small increments of time to write in hyper focus mode.

Mike Bockoven writes thriller/horror novels while his kids are in gymnastics class or at piano lessons. He lives with his wife, Sarah, two daughters, Emaline and Tessa and an exceptionally dumb wiener dog names Sherlock. He lives in Grand Island, Nebraska. In the podcast notes we will list his website and social media links, so check them out after you finish this podcast!

FantasticLand by Mike Bockoven pieces together the grisly series of events during the isolated five weeks when the teenagers were left on their own to viciously compete for food, medicine, social dominance, and even human flesh.

At time 18:43 he reads from her novel, FantasticLand.
