🎙️ Thy Mother Is A Lioness: Historical Fiction and the Stories That Shape Us — A Conversation with Sam Foster
We’re traveling through time on today’s Audio Signals.
📚✨ Sam Foster is not just a writer of historical fiction—he’s a storyteller who traces the human condition through past lives, layered narratives, and deeply researched characters. In this episode, Sam and I talk about growing up in the Midwest, writing from lived experience, and eventually leaping into the rich, complex worlds of Renaissance Italy and 19th-century America.
🔍 What makes a story authentic? Where’s the line between historical fact and narrative freedom? And how do you tell stories that resonate across generations, languages, and borders? Sam’s latest book Thy Mother Is A Lioness explores powerful women in a male-dominated world—from Florence to France—and it’s all unfolding exclusively on Substack.
But this conversation isn’t just about the past—it’s about the process: What drives a writer to chase the “why”? Why is storytelling a purpose, not just a profession? And how is technology opening new doors for creatives, even those writing about centuries gone by?
👁️🗨️ This one goes beyond plotlines and timelines. It’s about identity, purpose, creative freedom—and the future of storytelling itself.
