Artemis Crow

In this episode we get to talk with writer Artemis Crow about the beginning or her grand adventure omnibus of novels ‘The Zodiac Assassins’. This series of books will encompass 12 novels and 12 novellas in a sweeping arc of the universe that has a world much like the one we all know called The OverWorld and a place of magic, mystery, mayhem and violence called InBetween. The series explains how one world became two and brings the reader back and forth between interactions between these worlds.

Artemis is our guide (especially mine) in gaining the understanding as we talked about her first book in the series, ‘Lyon’s Roar’ and the significance between the roles of the novels and novellas in this ambitious series. Maintaining characters in both human and “paranorm” form, this is a complex and compelling universe build with a depth and edge rare in a series that somewhat defies a genre or tag. It becomes a thrill ride with jarring and unexpected twists, which become more complex, compelling and baffling the deeper you become immersed in the overall story,

Lyon’s Roar

In this edition of Sci Fi Saturday Night we explore the many worlds that is Matt Spencer: Journalist, a New Orleans restaurant cook, factory worker, radio D.J., playwright, actor and…if we are to believe his ramblings, a writer.

We explore Matt on the basis of his short story collection ‘Story Time with Crazy Uncle Matt’ and get the lunatics eye view on some extremely original and fascinating material. In all seriousness, Matt has a very specific viewpoint. See if you can figure it out because, while I was unable to, his writing is infectiously exciting and a lot of fun.

Enjoy the chaos.

For as long as I can remember, Rich Woodall has been an important and

Rich Woodall

interesting  part of the comic community in New England and a good friend. From our first visits to the former Boston Comic Con and Granite Con, Rich was always there with fresh visions and amazing work. Over the years his influence and productivity has grown. We got the chance to talk with him about his beginnings with Johnny Raygun, his amazing body of work and some of his current projects including his wonderful new parody, Spaceforce, The Electric Black with Joe Schmalke and his upcoming Kickstarter for Sgt. Werewolf.

It was like sitting down and talking again with an old friend, which is exactly what it was.

The Electric Black

Alvin Baylor Lives!

This episode is actually two stories in one. One is the obvious part. Alvin Baylor Lives! is a fascinating well-constructed Sci Fi novel/audio book set in the far future with McGuffin after McGuffin to keep the reader/listener enthralled. One the one hand, charming while at the same time gritty, we learn about the world that Alvin inhabits, the society he survives in and the profound affect one man can have.

The other story is about two boyhood friends, Maximillian Gray and Josh Horowitz. After surviving the “rigors” of public education together in the Greater LA Area, they went their separate ways as often happens. Max and Josh both found themselves in the entertainment industry and a chance social media reconnection brought them back together for this project: Max as writer and Josh as audio book creator.

So, this episode is two fascinating stories. One is about a book/audio book and the other is the rekindling of a friendship to create it. It’s a really cool story with two really eloquent interesting men.

Enjoy the chaos. We did, for sure.
