Drinking With Authors Featuring CK Westbrook

Guest: CK Westbrook – environmentalist, world-traveler, news junkie, and author of The Impact Series

Drink of Choice: Pinot Noir

Join Nick Savage, award-winning author and host of Drinking With Authors, for a fireside-style conversation with CK Westbrook, the brilliant mind behind The Impact Series—a gripping sci-fi saga that blends environmental catastrophe, gun violence, space debris, and real-world politics into page-turning speculative fiction.

In this episode, Nick and CK explore:

• How bleak news headlines inspired landscapes of global catastrophe and unlikely heroism

• Deep-dive research into pollution, gun violence, and space junk—and the powerful feminist threads woven through the story

• CK’s adventures on all seven continents and how travel fuels her imagination

• What’s coming next: the 2025 prequel revealing the political choices that led to The Shooting

Expect candid banter, sharp insights, storytelling wisdom—and plenty of Pinot Noir along the way.
