Author Paul Roach and the Fundamentals of Research for Novelists
We spent the past couple of episodes with an exploration of the science fiction genre. Fantasy and magic are popular subgenres. Often over-looked is the spiritual sub-sub-genre. Paul Roach served twenty-seven years in the US Navy Medical Corps, with multiple combat and noncombat deployments. His memoir, Citizen-Surgeon, recounts his experiences as a combat surgeon in Afghanistan. His latest novel is the first part of the Jack’s Rogues Trilogy- Operation Agos, a supra-natural, that is, transcending the natural, a supranatural thriller. His Substack describes his genre as Fantasy - Magical Realism - Metaphysical Fiction.
