Podcast appearances and mentions of Benjamin C Kinney

Science fiction short story writer and neuroscientist, Benjamin C. Kinney, joins me on the podcast. We kick off the conversation by discussing  Ben's many tabletop role-playing game adventures, from Dungeons and Dragons to Shadowrun. Then we move into writing science fiction. We touch on how his work as a neuroscientist informs his writing. Monkeys with microchips in their brains enter the conversation at one point. Plus, we learn how he took a Shadowrun character backstory and turned it into a science fiction short story.

I had only one defense against a woman who knew me. “Fine.” I layered venom into my voice, to make her think it a hard-won concession yet again. “I'll prophecy for you.” Queen Iroda stood alone by the parapet, a dark silhouette against the mountains. The scant light caught the gold embroidery on her robe and the perfect braids of red and silver that draped down her chest like chains. | Copyright 2021 by Benjamin C. Kinney.
