The Beginnings Of Jack Sterling & The Legacy Series with Sean Liscom

Sean Liscom, author of The Ranch 'The Legacy Series' of books, talks about his journey to becoming an author. We all start somewhere and Seans's story might just inspire you to get going!

Today I’m honored to have Sean Liscom, author of The Ranch book series available on Amazon. I’ve been reading the entire series and thought I might as well ask if the author would be on the show, and surprisingly, he said yes! So today, we have a great chat about the origins of The Ranch series, his writing method, life living off the grid, and the art of living a life of being prepared. Sean has a background in wild land firefighting, and we learn all of the lessons that come from a life of unpredictability.

Sean's Bio: I was born in October of 1970 in California but have lived in northern Nevada since 1977. At an early age, I was bitten by the Fireman bug. In the spring of 1988 I joined the local volunteer fire department. I served in several different capacities from Firefighter I, EMT-B, Engine Operator, Safety Officer, Training Officer, Engine Captain and Type III Incident Commander. I retired on 01-01-11.

During the summer of 1989, I found myself joining up with a government contracted engine strike team. I also served with them in different positions that mirrored my volunteer service with the exception of becoming a Strike Team Leader. With 5 Type III engines, two water tenders and two service vehicles under my control, I had to quickly learn how to deal with the "human" element. I must have done okay because they kept asking me to come back to work for them. That lasted until the season ended in 1999.

In September of 2016, I sat down with my laptop and started writing. The story that unfolded in my head and on the computer screen is what I submitted to Amazon a year later. Of course, there were re-writes and the inevitable writers block, but I managed to work my way through that with the help and support of my beautiful wife, Denise. Even when she was struggling with the hellish side-effects of chemotherapy, she stood strong and let me bounce ideas off of her.
