History Through Fiction’s Colin Mustful Interviews Brock Meier
Colin Mustful, historian, author, and founder of the successful publisher and podcast, History Through Fiction, recently invited Brock to discuss his award winning debut novel The Stone Cutter.
History Through Fiction is all about “combining Fictional Narratives with Historical Research.” Founded in 2019 by Minnesota Author and Historian Colin Mustful, History Through Fiction is an independent press publishing high quality fiction that is rooted in accurate and detailed historical research. The mission of History Through Fiction is to provide readers with a compelling narrative that also acts as a valuable historical resource.
The enterprise offers authors diverse publishing services such as editing, workshops, and promotion through its blog posts and podcasts. For readers of historical fiction, the group is a resource for interviews with authors, history articles, and book reviews.
In the 30 minute interview, Colin asks Brock about:
- why the demoniac (described in the Synoptic Gospels)?
- why his interest in Petra?
- what was the Nabataean Kingdom like?
- how did he extrapolate a life’s story from such a brief account?
- what was the transition like from research scientist to fiction author?
- what will the next novel be?
We hope you enjoy Colin’s probing and insightful interview. And while you’re at it, check out his interviews of other authors of historical fiction.
