MY favourite Steampunk is the Foglios “Girl Genius”!
i have the theme song as my ringtone.
It will be weird INTERVIEWING her after listening to all the audiobooks! 😉
I saw Dodger!
That’s one perspective. Of course, plotless books are no fun to read and, subsequently, less effective in delivering other elements. See Samuel Johnson’s comment on anecdote.
Besides, if you can write a good book *and* shoehorn zombies into it, well you’re golden.
I used to LARP with her
I wonder if you guys will ever do a graphic novel.
I love this show!
Boneshaker was great! Love that book, now i have to dive into the others…
No offense, but plot devices like zombies or ninjas, are not what makes a book great. They are just that, plot devices, nothing more, nothing less. As i’ve heard often “You can make a good book/movie/game out of anything”. If you only grasp a novel on the level of plot, then either you missed the juicy bit or the author is not great.
Soo fuucking pretty 😉 Really cool interview Still not enough Veronica to keep my satisfied
Gross. Nobody needs to know that…
Yay Gail Carriger!
Unicorns in space heh
Another good episode! I really do enjoy your author interviews. I like the variety questions, too. I can’t wait to see the next one!
Awesome, I just got into Cherie Priest
Fantastic interview. Huge fan of Cherie Priest and you kids at Sword and Laser.
I don’t know, but I’ll ask her.
Who said the old jokes are always the best?
Tom
You are so lucky because you get to meet lots of cool, attractive intelligent women.
You also get to hang out with Veronica.
Only joshing of course, Veronica is all those things and more. (sigh)
Spiffing episode as always. Not read any SP fiction as yet but will try to get my cotton picking south paw on a copy of Deadnought. Not Boneshaker, don’t like zombies! *shiver*
With the quality of her camera she kind of reminds me of Molly Wood. Great interview. Buying the book.
Hey! I just got a Cherie Priest book from the library! I got there 5 minutes before closing time and just had to pick something fast and I saw a book called “Ganymede” which is a name I really like, and the picture of Priest had her wearing a top hat, so I thought: sold! Well, rented! It’s a pretty good book! Also in the Clockwork Century universe.
sad that this show isnt getting that many views…its one of the best book podcasts…..
and yeah greetings from ASIA!~
wait… just to nit pick .. 1:45 you say “borrows throught alaskain ice looking for gold but hits a vien of blight gas”
just to be clear i am pretty sure the vien of blight gas was hit in Seattle NOT alaska!
did i miss hear or did you make a mistake?
