Conversations with Authors of Science Fiction and Fantasy
Ysabel is my first Guy Gavriel Kay book. He’s one of those authors that I’ve always heard about. Maybe it’s the memorable name, I don’t know. But he was always just kind of out there as one of those authors that I knew I was supposed to read and simply hadn’t.
In case I was wondering, I guess, if he was worth the hype, Kay opens Ysabel with a 3-page prologue that was, simply, stunning.
Interview: Hugo Award nominee and winner Charles Stross is in studio to chat about his latest book, Saturn’s Children. Charles explains how the story is really a Heinlein styled period piece, an homage to Heinlein’s late period, and tells the story of an android designed to be a sex robot for humans, only humans have gone extinct before she rolls off the assembly line.
Why else would a robot have been built with nipples?
Interview: Mike, Summer and Mike talk with the author and illustrator of Mr Fooster, Traveling on a Whim, Tom Corwin and Craig Frazier.
Tom and Craig tell us of how they met, and how they began collaborating, and how the inspiration for the actual story was one of Craig’s existing illustrations. We also talk about the back and forth of the collaborative process, and bringing the words and the style of the art together, and growing the project into the finished version.
