Interview at Podside Picnic
Last week, I was invited back to one of my favorite podcasts to discuss my recent story. Last time, I talked about how my experiences as low-level enlisted personnel informed my reading of The Forever War; however, this time, I talked to Connor to discuss my recent story, “As The Shore To The Tides, So Blood Calls To Blood”.
We talked a bit about inspirations (if I may be permitted a small spoiler, they included games, the Bible, Sumerian myth and Ursula K. Le Guin), the writing process (such as it is for such a slowpoke as me), and whether I’m working on any other stories in this setting (I am).
To my delight, Connor loved the story enough to name drop it in his newsletter — which I’ve always found to have great insights into whatever he’s reading or watching at the moment.
Note: This is a patrons-only episode (as was the Forever War one), but if fair and measured analysis of many works on the literature of the fantastic are your thing, I can’t recommend Podside Picnic enough. Connor and Pete always have great discussions on speculative fiction and the literature of the fantastic, and — perhaps, more importantly — have lots of fun in the process.
