Jasper, Indiana —Kevin Schewe, author of Bad Love Medicine, fourth in the Bad Love Gang sci-fi/history series, was featured on the Talk with Audrey Radio Show. Audrey opened the interview with interest on two topics. First, what type of creative process was involved in creating the science fiction involved in the series? Second, how does Schewe, who also works full time as a radiation oncologist, find the time to churn out so much material?
In a little over two-years, Schewe has managed to write and publish four books and pen an award-winning screenplay for the first book in the series, Bad Love Strikes. That is amazingly productive considering the amount of real-life history, based on World War II and the Cold War of the 1970s, which is a vital part of every book.
The screenplay recently won its 6th award in Korea after winning in Munich, Germany at the New Wave Short Film Festival, where it was chosen as a Special Jury Screenplay Selection. His screenplay has also won the Prix Royal Paris Silver Screenplay Award, the South Florida International Film Festival for Best Original Screenplay for Young Adults, the L.A. Film Awards Best Sci-Fi Screenplay, and a Gold Script Writing Award for Sci-Fi Adventure from the Depth of Field International Film Festival. "Great writing needs to be savored and rewarded," say the Prix Royal judges.
Bad Love Medicine is the fourth installment in the Bad Love Gang Series and takes readers from the deep-space beauty of Planet Azur back to a WWII Europe riddled with danger and espionage, bringing the time traveling heroes face-to-face with one of history's greatest villains—Adolf Hitler himself. The Bad Love Gang series is part history lesson and part sci-fi adventure. Schewe's engaging Bad Love Gang (based on his own friends in high school) once again set out to save history—this time, by stopping the Nazis from creating a time machine of their own.
The screenplay recently drew its 5th award in Munich, Germany at the New Wave Short Film Festival where it was chosen as a Special Jury Screenplay Selection. His screenplay has also won the Prix Royal Paris Silver Screenplay Award, the South Florida International Film Festival for Best Original Screenplay for Young Adults, the L.A. Film Awards Best Sci-Fi Screenplay, and a Gold Script Writing Award for Sci-Fi Adventure from the Depth of Field International Film Festival. "Great writing needs to be savored and rewarded," say the Prix Royal judges.
"If history was taught this way in school, everyone would be a scholar and educating ourselves not only about our accomplishments but the horrors of the past that should awaken and give insight to the path of a better future. A rare gem!" —David Holladay, MD, 5-Stars
They also discussed exactly how Schewe picked the popular songs which are spread throughout all four of the books. The author talked about growing up with the songs of the 1960s and 1970s and how, during the writing process, those songs come to him in what he calls his "musical brain." This is really a fun part of the Schewe's interview with Mark Bishop.
In Bad Love Strikes, the Gang discovered The White Hole Project, a time machine created by President Franklin Roosevelt in case the atomic bomb failed. In the exciting first sequel, Bad Love Tigers, the gang used the White Hole Project to travel back to 1945 to thwart Russian spies and protect the secrets of Area 51. In Bad Love Beyond, the gang traveled not just through time but through space as well to learn the reason behind Blue Nova One's mysterious visit to earth. Now, in Bad Love Medicine, the gang has a two-fold mission: reunite a love-struck couple (while saving one of them from a future fate of cancer) separated by time and stop the Nazis from creating a time machine of their own.
