Show Notes
What happens when a retired pharmacist, lifelong storyteller, and self-proclaimed “weirdo” finally sits down to write the book that’s been living in his head for decades? You get Bloodstone Redemption, a 500-page dark fantasy epic that defies genre, convention, and even the author’s own expectations.
In this conversation, Josh Cary sits down with author Eric Carver to unpack how a lifetime of curiosity, creativity, and courage culminated in his debut novel. From high school English assignments and mowing the lawn to confronting fear, doubt, and the imposter voice that says “I’m not good enough,” this episode is a testament to what happens when you stop waiting and start creating.
Whether you’re a writer, a creative, or simply someone with a dream collecting dust, Eric’s story will remind you that it’s never too late to follow the spark, and that your weirdness might be your greatest gift.
