Long Bio:

Walt Mussell is an award-winning author who primarily writes historical fiction with a focus on medieval Japan, an interest he gained in the four years he lived there. He refers to his work as “Fiction as sharp as a samurai’s blade” but also calls it “Like Shōgun, but the heroine survives.” As a pre-published author, his works won the inspirational fiction categories in the Maggie, Lone Star, and Great Expectations writing contests. He finally became a published author when his novel, The Samurai’s Heart, won a publishing contract through Amazon’s Kindle Scout program. He has since self-published The Samurai’s Honor, a prequel to The Samurai’s Heart, and a time-travel work called A Second Chance. His books are available on most platforms.

Walt lives in the Atlanta area with his wife and an attention-hungry half-Labrador. He works for a well-known corporation and writes in his spare time. Outside of writing, his favorite activity is trying to spend as much time as possible with his two sons. As both have graduated from college, this is proving more difficult each day.

Related to his writing, Walt does Japanese history content on various social media sites. He also offers free lectures to churches, libraries, and civic group on both Japan’s Christian Century and St. Paul Miki and His Companions, a group of 26 Christians who were martyred in Nagasaki in 1597. Walt has twice appeared on Seize the Day on SiriusXM’s The Catholic Channel to discuss Japan’s Christian history.
