In this episode of Conversations Ignite, we dive into the fascinating journey of John Bukowski, an accomplished author and former veterinarian who transitioned to a successful career as a fiction writer. John shares how his diverse experiences in veterinary science, epidemiology, and public health have enriched his storytelling. As the author of fast-paced thrillers like Project Suicide and Checkout Time, which was a 2024 finalist for the Silver Falchion and Imadjinn awards, John offers insights into how his scientific background informs his work.
He discusses the challenges of career transitions, the importance of perseverance, and how his background in writing medical literature has shaped his fiction. John also offers advice on pursuing passions, dealing with rejection, and navigating the “mushy middle” of writing a book. He emphasizes that success isn’t always measured by sales, but by personal fulfillment and reader recognition.
Tune in for an inspiring conversation about embracing change, persevering through challenges, and the craft of storytelling.
