I just showed up on a podcast called The Appendix. Check it out if you dare: http://www.appendixpodcast.com/
We talk about my trip to Worldcon and about speculative fantasy. Plus, we recorded this on Rob Wells's book launch party day, so go check out his national debut: Variant. He couldn't be there for the podcast, because he is now famous and happy.
The Appendix crew includes Sarah Eden and Marion Jensen--two of my favorite people--and so it was a blast. Sarah Eden writes excellent Regency romance novels and Marion writes superhero, go-West dystopia, and comedic books (thus far, but nothing is stopping him from writing swashbuckling pirate adventures . . . wink, wink).

Hey, that was great to listen to! I didn't realize when I first met you how much you like speculative fiction.
Your podcast comments were great and got me thinking about what genre I want to focus my writing on.
I left a comment on the podcast page disclosing my next awesomesauce book idea based on your "anything goes" advice!
Glad you liked it. It was seriously fun just hanging out with Sarah and Marion, so I'm glad it was helpful, too.
Excellent website (like a writer's conference but at my home). Also a good podcast. Speculative fiction is my favorite for many of the reasons you guys mentioned. It sounds like world con was a great experience. Maybe I'll go to it some day.
Thanks for the post.
Thanks, Jessica. Good luck with your writing!
Hi Kirk,
I never got a chance to grab you at LTUE. Nice job on the 5 Dos and Don'ts of Speculative fiction; it was very helpful.
You mentioned Jim Butcher (and he is awesome) have you read Kevin Hearne? He writes The Iron Druid Chronicles. I would categorize him as "like Butcher but different."
I suspect I'll see you at Storymakers.
Best,
Chris
Thanks for coming to my class, Chris. It's seriously one I've been wanting to teach for years and finally had a good excuse to do it.
Funny you should mention The Iron Druid Chronicles. Audible had a sale on the first book a few months back, so it's on my account, ready for listening to. Thanks for the suggestion.
I'll definitely be at Storymakers, so I'll see you there.
Kirk
