Music that Inspires David Mack to Write.

***Please note that this podcast contains spoilers for the entire Star Trek: Vanguard series of novels.*** Writing novels can be challenging, considering the amount of details needed to flush out a entertaining story. Each author has their own method for keeping track of the details, but sometimes detailed plan for plot and character developments aren't enough, and writers can find themselves stuck with where to go, or they may have difficulty in conveying the proper emotional tone on the page. So where can an author turn when they need to find just the right inspiration for the key moments in their book?

In this episode of Melodic Treks, host Brandon-Shea Mutala is joined by New York Times Best-Selling author David Mack to discuss the music that inspired Mack in writing certain elements of the Star Trek: Vanguard series of novels. In addition to an in depth, spoiler filled discussion of the Vanguard novels, we also discuss how the series came to be, how David started to write for Star Trek, and what David is doing for Star Trek on television right now.
