Welcome to Hilary Topper on Air. Today’s guest is Steven Kobrin. Born and raised in LA, Steven is a lifelong student of film. But his journey to becoming a screenwriter and author wasn’t a straight path. From being a top-ranked tennis player in Southern California to becoming the creative mind behind The Man from Belize trilogy, Steven’s story is one of passion, reinvention, and perseverance. On this episode, we will dive into Steven’s fascinating life, his transition from competitive tennis to writing, and the inspiration behind his internationally acclaimed action-thriller novels and more.
Here are some of the questions I asked Steven:
- Growing up in LA, what was it like balancing your love for film with your dedication to tennis?
- What sparked your passion for storytelling, and how did film influence your creative journey?
- What is The Man from Belize Trilogy? What is the inspiration behind the trilogy?
- Do you have any rituals to help you write?
