Podcast appearances and mentions of Ken Scholes

I am please to be joined by Sci-fi/fantasy author Ken Scholes as we do a deep dive into his 5 book series The Psalms of Isaak. Described as a biblical epic in a destructive land filled with magical objects, cults, robots, and a secret past for all to discover. The first half of the episode is non-spoliers and around the half way point we do get into the spoiler discusions with clear warnings for listerns. A series that will capture your imagination and mystery for what is to come.

https://bryanaiello.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/06/MIrage-38-PTSD-w-Ken-Scholes-Mixdown-1.mp3 On episode 38 of Mirage, Ken Scholes, the award-winning, critically-acclaimed author of five novels and over fifty short stories joins me to discuss his very public experience with Complex Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (C-PTSD) and his participation in Dr. Eugene Lipov’s ground-breaking work using stellate ganglion blocks to treat — and possibly eventually cure — PTSD. ***Veterans, and else, if in crisis call 1-800-273-8255*** The “Chicago Blocks” are proving to be more effective and more affordable than the other treatments currently available." -- Ken Dr. Lipov’s work at the Global PTSI Foundation and Pete Walker’s essays on C-PTSD are great places to start any research. You can learn more about Ken’s experiences with both PTSD and the block in “Silence of the Chattering Head Monkeys,” a short video produced by McGonagle Productions. And his first visit on Origin 67. *** Ken’s work has appeared in print for over sixteen years. His series, The Psalms of Isaak, is published by Tor Books and his short fiction has been collected in three volumes published by Fairwood Press. He has also been awarded a Writers of the Future Award, France’s Prix Imaginales, the Endeavour Award and a scattering of others.

Flash Fiction: “Dreidel of Dread: The Very Cthulhu Chanukah” by Alex Schvartsman (Originally published in Galaxy's Edge.) Twas the night before Chanukah, and all through the planet, not a creature was stirring except for the Elder God Cthulhu who was waking up from his eons-long slumber. And as the terrible creature awakened in the city of R'lyeh, deep beneath the Pacific Ocean, and wiped drool from his face-tentacles, all the usual signs heralded the upcoming apocalypse in the outside world: mass hysteria, cats and dogs living together, and cable repairmen arriving to their appointments within the designated three-hour window. "This will not do," said Chanukah Henry. "I will not have the world ending on my watch, not during the Festival of Lights." Alex Shvartsman is a writer, translator, and game designer from Brooklyn, NY. More than 80 of his short stories have appeared in Nature, Galaxy's Edge, Orson Scott Card's InterGalactic Medicine Show, and many other magazines and anthologies. He won the 2014...

Mary Robinette Kowal and Dave Wolverton again join Dan and Howard, and this time we're talking about holidays in fantasy and science-fiction. This 'cast was recorded at Superstars Writing Seminars, and  Moses Siregar III of Adventures in Sci-Fi Publishing captured us on video as we recorded. What sorts of things result in holidays? Historically we see them at the solstices and the equinoxes, planting and harvest, and commemorations of important events. We talk about all of these, and how to work them into your own writing without sounding like you're just filing the serial numbers off of Christmas, Halloween, and Mardi Gras. So of course we also talk about how to do this wrong. Audiobook Pick-of-the-Week: METAtropolis: Cascadia, by Jay Lake, Mary Robinette Kowal, Elizabeth Bear, Ken Scholes, Karl Schroeder, and Tobias Buckell, and narrated by Rene Auberjonois, Kate Mulgrew, Wil Wheaton, Gates McFadden, Jonathan Frakes, LeVar Burton, and Jay Lake.
