Chad Nance has written for international and national outlets, and as a native of Winston-Salem, in 2012 he returned to his hometown to focus on local journalism and community building. Or as he says, the things that really affect his daily life. He's the Editor-in-Chief for Camel City Dispatch (launched in 2012), an online news daily covering everything from Arts and Entertainment to business, education, and more.  

 
In addition to his work with Camel City Dispatch, Nance has published Shape I'm In: The Camel City Dispatches and the second of a five-novel sci-fi series, Existential Threat: Scarlet Stains will be released on February 14th, by Second Wind Publishing.  
 
Shape I'm In is available at Camel City News and Downtown Coffee Park at the Milton Rhodes Center for the Arts. And, if you were missing it, the Camel City Dispatch podcast is back and with a new name. Check out the Electric Camel Pod(cast)
 
Today, Chad discusses some of his literary and cinematic influences and why these are important to his writing.
