New Episode: Caitlin Starling ( @cstarling.bsky.social ) returns to Fictitious. We talk about her new sci-fi thriller, LAST TO LEAVE THE ROOM, writing "unlikeable" characters, creating surreal scenes, and using a "load-bearing cat" in her narrative.

Author Caitlin Starling (brunette woman with wavy hair, glasses, and tattoos) is shown next to the book cover for Last to Leave the Room. The cover shows a woman sitting at the bottom of a set of stairs in a large liminal space, surrounded by eight other versions of herself.

New Episode: Cassandra Khaw & @richardkadrey.bsky.social talk about their new collaboration, THE DEAD TAKE THE A TRAIN. We dig into their co-authoring process for the horror-infused urban fantasy they describe as "a Rom-Com with entrails—LOTS of entrails".

Received this lovely comment on my Martha Wells interview today. I'm currently muddling through a case of Covid (my first time, yay) but this really brightened my afternoon. I had such a great conversation with Martha about MurderBot, so glad people enjoy it.
Screenshot of a YouTube comment by user @samk5396 that reads: "I loved your interview. The fact you let her speak and that you're into the book and 'get' it. And that you make a point to use 'it' to gender murderbot correctly. You can just tell hearing the interview that she's more comfortable here than I've seen in others, and I think it's at least partly due to the respect you give. Loved getting to hear more from her and gaining more depth to an amazing series!"

NEW EPISODE: Doing something a little different in this ep. I talk with PATHFINDER and STARFINDER co-creator James L. Sutter about writing for RPGs and media tie-ins, and switching genres to write his queer YA romance, DARKHEARTS.

Just occurred to me that I have not shared my interview with @mattfnwallace.bsky.social on Bluesky yet. Doh! Listen to our conversation about his SAVAGE REBELLION trilogy, writing process, a weird few years in publishing, and more! https://ficpod.link/wallace
Author Matt Wallace is depicted next to the covers of two of his books, SAVAGE CROWNS and SAVAGE BOUNTY.

New episode! I talk with author Greta Kelly about her fantasy novel, THE QUEEN OF DAYS. We discuss its NaNoWriMo origin, developing a tightly-contained setting, and maintaining emotion in a fast-paced heist story.
