Discussion continues on including world events in fiction, following up on the questions Brad Beaulieu answered last episode. Mike S suggests focusing more on the emotion of the characters rather than the technology and action sequences to make connections with the readers.
Interview: This week, Mike and Mike chat with MD Lachlan about the first book in his new series from Pyr Books, Wolfsangel. What happens when you take a werewolf story and combine it with Norse mythology and legends? This series is one look at how that could have happened.
M.D. also talks about his background and experiences with gaming and his thoughts on magic and science, and the limitations of Hollywood magic.
The second book, Fenrir, is due out in October 2011.

Yeah.
The delay/mixup with this episode being posted is all on me. I completely punted on putting the right date on this episode, so it didn't go out on Memorial Day like it originally should have, and I didn't double-check to see that it went out last week.
And like the guys said, there will be more Cover to Cover coming, so don't fret! 🙂
Wow. You fellas just dropped off the face of the earth. Or it seems that way. 🙁
