What happens when thirty-two years of walking into crime scenes collides with a lifelong love of Tolkien, Zelazny, and Edgar Rice Burroughs? You get James Stuart Kinsey — retired forensics investigator, Navy submariner, and the world-builder behind the Gifts of Olmith fantasy series.

In this 58th episode of the Science Fiction & Fantasy Factory, host Mookie Spitz sits down with Kinsey to unpack the sprawling world he’s spent years constructing: a heroic-fantasy setting populated by humans, elves, and dwarves, anchored by his debut novel Strand of Hope and expanding through companion short fiction like The Emperor’s Bath. They trace Kinsey’s literary DNA back to a small Texas town with a population of 100, a childhood spent devouring Burroughs’ Tarzan and John Carter novels, and the fateful day a high school teacher handed him a copy of The Hobbit — the book that cracked his imagination wide open.
