Hi Bronson, a few weeks ago I tweeted you about your terrific voice work in the audiobook version of Matterhorn by Karl Marlantes*.
First, thanks again, it was outstanding. Second, you replied that the book really meant a lot to you, and I've been wondering if you could elaborate.
Did it resonate with you in any particular ways, with regard to the Vietnam war, race relations, or some other way?
Also, how did you come to perform it? Is it something where you get to pick and choose which books you go after?
* For those who haven't read the book, it was fantastic, and the audio performance brought the characters to life in a way that audiobook versions rarely do.

Last piece of advice: tell EVERYONE what you want to do with your life. You'd be amazed at the advice and opportunities the network of people you already know can provide once they find out what your dream is in life.
Great advice!

Hi Stuart, thanks for doing this! I have a few related questions about your writing.
How much fiction did you write growing up? Was it something you'd always had a passion for, or did it sneak up on you during your pursuits in non-fiction and journalism?
Was there a specific moment when you decided, or maybe realized, that you wanted to be a storyteller for a living?
What's your favourite part of the writing process? The blank page, revision, seeing the published work, performing it live, or something else?
Thanks again!

Have you seen this video on hypoxia from the documentary How to Kill a Human Being?
What do you think about it?
PS: Cheers on your journey.
PPS: Regardless of what you think of the man, I find Steve Jobs' last words to be somewhat wondrous: "Oh wow. Oh wow. Oh wow."
