The Darkside of Narican with Guest Author Douglas Robbins

In This Episode

Human nature, good vs. evil, and the justification of destruction; these are just a few examples of philosophies and ideals that authors use as inspiration for their novels. This successful formula has been used repeatedly in the publishing world for generations. But this week’s guest author, Douglas Robbins, has created a narrative that blends fantasy, sci-fi, philosophy, mysticism, and more in Narican – The Cloaked Deception. We discuss everything from Oppenheimer’s justification of the Atomic Bomb, Science and Religion vs. The Unknown to Psychological Representation and the darker side of Generational Trauma. So, join us as we discover all this and more as we take you Beyond the Pen.

Maccabee & Marccella Podcasters

Maccabee is a husband of 19 yrs, father of two boys, Army vet, voice actor, writer, and podcast co-host of Beyond the Pen. Growing up in the theater and working as a voice actor, script analysis has been a critical skill he's been perfecting over the years. This skill has allowed him to look past what the author wants you to see and discover the truth between the words and the printed paper. Every story is unique, and so are the authors.

Marccella, a self-proclaimed bookworm, is an advocate for authors and their unique voices. Since learning to read at aged 6, Marccella could be found in the library with her nose in a good book. As an avid reader, Marccella recognized that there was untapped potential in the author community and was decidedly committed to creating valuable spaces to have conversations with writers of all genres. As a result, Marccella united with Maccabee (her brother from another mother) to further her vision of expanding the reach of authors and their audience.
