Hello there, thanks for joining us again on our jaunt through the
joyous worlds of fantasy, science fiction and horror. Who
knows what we may find? (Well I do, I suppose.) Here's
a quick run down -
News Bites:
Before any journey it's always best
to fortify yourself, so we take a bit of time
to chew over the latest
literary events.
Author's Delight:
We begin with a short stroll in the company of a seasoned explorer
- a
chance to chat with an
author about one of their all-time favourite reads. On this
occasion we're joined by Adam Christopher from
Angry Robot, to discuss Veronica.
The Flash Fiction
Challenge:
Our listeners take a short dash up the creative slope each month in
our writing challenge. In this segment we read out the top
tales and talk about them.
Night at the Round Table:
The picnic blankets out and the wine has begun to flow. Must
be time to take in the view, show down and indulge in a rambling
discussion.
Author Interview:
Finally, we metaphorically hole-up in a pub, get drunk and talk to
strangers until the taxi turns up.
Fortunately,
James Treadwell is a congenial
companion, as well as a damned fine writer.
Competition time:
On the way home we rashly offer up not one, but two great books in
a dead easy competition, because you're our Best Friend and we Love
you. No, no, we really Do! (Ooh. Is it me or has
the world gone a bit spinny?)
Scrolls is looking for a
lighter and more agile format, so listen in horrified fascination
as the very hungry
caterpillars continue their
metamorphosis. Feedback is welcomed in the Comments section
below (as are author recommendations and ways to squeeze more
reading time out of a jam-packed week!)
