The Sword and Laser

We had a really good time chatting with Sam Sykes, author of the Aeon's Gate series. Among other things, we learned what a flying shark is good for, why he left the Horde, what a "stealfie" is, and how Sam keeps his daily threat-making to a minimum. Plus your questions! Enjoy.

It’s a very dragon-filled episode, as we kick off our December pick, A Natural History of Dragons: A Memoir by Lady Trent, actually by Marie Brennan. Also Temeraire. And Paul and Storm steal our idea but we decide we like them anyway.http://swordandlaser.com/home/2013/12/10/sl-podcast-153-kicking-dragons Hosted on Acast.

We talk with Peter V. Brett about his Demon Cycle books, the grim world of dark fantasy, his old HP iPaq and why he's so big in Germany.http://swordandlaser.com/home/2013/12/3/sl-podcast-152-peter-v-brett-is-the-dark-david-hasselhoff-of-fantasy To get in on the D&D action at ConFusion and possibly see Myke Cole's head get shaved visit Worldbuilders.org.And check out the Not Playing Podcast: 002 Die Hard on the Boing Boing Podcast Network!
