The Blasters and Blades Podcast

The Blasters & Blades PodcastI had more fun than is legal in most of the continental states as I chatted with Marisa Wolf about her new book, A Plague of Magic. We talked nostalgic about our nerdy childhoods and then we discussed her books. It sounds like a lot of fun and I’m excited about buying this audiobook when Baen releases it! This was a fun interview, so go check out this episode. Lend us your eyes and ears, you won't be sorry!! Join us for a fun show! We're just a couple of nerdy Army veterans geeking out on things that go "abracadabra," "pew," "zoom," "boop-beep" and rhyme with Science Fiction & Fantasy.

The Blasters & Blades PodcastThis is a dangerous interview, so be warned! I was left alone with author Tim Akers, another book nerdy who studied English once upon a time. So, we waxed poetic about literary goodness and then talked about the speculative fiction of our childhoods. Oh, and we discussed his The Knight Watch Series, which I definitely want to read now. Curse you, taking my money like this. Don’t worry, Tim says he WILL spend it all in one place. Anyway, this was a fun interview, so go check it out. Lend us your eyes and ears, you won't be sorry!!

The Blasters & Blades PodcastThis was a super long interview with Justin Watson, and you weren’t even here for the pre- and post-show chats. We talked more about our Army time than I’ve previously done and then we talked nerdy about what we like and don’t like in speculative fiction. Then we talked about his alternative history universe, The Romanov Reign Series. This was a fun interview, so go check out this episode. Lend us your eyes and ears, you won't be sorry!!
