“The power of imagination makes us infinite.” – John Muir
Vicki Atkinson and I recently recorded a podcast conversation with someone with a remarkable resume. Wayne Runde is an author, physician and veteran US Navy Commander, Wayne Runde. How’s that for a combo?
Wayne tells us about his book, Shadow of the Deceiver, the third installment in The Genesis Trust series. It’s a re-imagining of Isaac Asimov’s Foundation Series. We hear about why he was called to start writing even with his busy schedule and a fascinating set of hobbies from gardening to developing software.
Vicki and I ask about the intersection of science, morality and humanity that is a cornerstone for his writing and stories. Wayne tells us where he finds inspirations for characters from his professional life and his personal interactions within his church community.
This is a great episode with an author that has done a fabulous job of reimagining this classic series. We know you’ll love it.
Here’s a clip of Wayne helping to connect the dots of how his disparate interests and hobbies come together:

Such a well-timed read for me, Wynne, about values and what matters most during challenging times — with a fabulous sci fi spin! 😉❤️😉

It would be interested to know how Commander Runde’s role as.a physician and his Christian faith relate to his role as a member of the military. Thank you, Wynne and Vicki, as well as Dr. Runde.

Love the emphasis on being called to write Joy. Thank goodness we pick up the phone and answer the call! Ha ha.

The more I listened to Wayne and his multiple interests, the more I found myself thinking of my grandfather. He served in WWI, and he went on to become a professional artist, deft gardener, an engineer for projects like his beautiful fountain in his backyard, woodworker etc. I’ve called him a renaissance man, and I think Wayne is one too. I love his thought that many of his interests share creativity. What a mind this humble man carries (a trilogy of trilogies as an example.). He has so much to offer to others in so many capacities. Thanks Wynne and Vicki.
