## Resource

How do you go from a leadership conference in the insurance world to publishing a debut fantasy novel in just one year? Author Evan Kidwell joins the 3 Geeks Podcast to share the incredible story behind Timeaous Spark and the Luck Curse. After publicly committing to his goal in 2023, Evan turned his lifelong passion for storytelling into reality. Rooted in his own experiences overcoming childhood bullying, his work creates a world of refuge, resilience, and empowerment for readers of all ages. In this episode, we explore the world of Mythantas, the creation of Timeaous Spark, and the themes of identity, perseverance, and self-discovery that drive the narrative. We also discuss Evan's influences, world-building process, geek culture roots, and the journey from idea to published novel. Whether you're an aspiring writer, a fan of YA fantasy, or love magic academy adventures, Evan's "miracle" journey is one you won't want to miss.
