Show Notes: The “B” Show Boogaloo!
This week, Michael, Summer, and Michael cover your writing and publishing questions, and do we really need a nickname for the “B” show? I don’t think so.
Feedback: Barry from Provo wants to know what we read outside of science fiction and fantasy, and which ones made impressions on us; Indiana Jim is struggling to keep up with our many shows, and comments on famous authors’ work published under different names; Thomas in Germany chimes in on the “missing” Pern book… “A Time When” was a commemorative publication for Boskone 12 in 1975; Patrick in Portland on discussions from C2C #272.

Can you describe in one minute or less a book you’ve forgotten or lost and are trying to find again? Let us know, and try to help you find it!
