Episode 138: Streetwalkers, Courtesans and Companions - The World's Oldest Profession in Speculative Fiction   Many sci-fi and fantasy worlds have incorporated their version of the sex industry into their world building. From the highly sought and exquisite companion to the lowly street walker trying to scape enough credits together to get off world, prostitution is rife in SFF. So is this a good thing, reclaiming sex and sex positivity? Is it exploitative, perpetuating bad steriotypes and encoraging a mindset of permissiveness toward the ill treatment of sex workers? Or is it merely a snapshot of life and human nature, falling into neither the positive or negative? This week the dragons delve into the sometimes seedy world of the SFF sex industry. On the slab this week - Kushiel's Dart by Jacqueline Carey, Terry Pratchett's Discworld, Firefly, The Song of the Lioness Quartet by Tamora pierce and many more.   Title music: Ecstasy by Smiling Cynic

We’ve read fantasy adventure books and we’ve read sexy books, but have we read any books that are sexy fantasy adventures? After reading Jacqueline Carey’s Kushiel’s Dart, the first in what is currently a nine-book series about sexy angel warriors, we can now definitively say “yes.” We have a chat about how Carey builds her world atop a real-world foundation, how the sexy stuff is intermixed with the political machinations, and how most of the characters are actually people who want things and not just sexy bodies.

Ariana Chernin "There's never a 'right time' but you have to also just know what's going on in your life to make sure that it makes sense and what your fall back is." Ariana Chernin “If you understand your purpose, passion’s gonna kind of ebb and flow with tough days, if you can kind of know this is the purpose, it’s ok to loose some passion here and there, especially in the beginning that’s going to drive you to stay positive and motivated- Ariana Chernin “Now that we are a much larger company and a much more crowded industry, for us it’s about understanding our landscape.” Jill Lorenz “It’s really about us understanding what our road map looks like and being able to anticipate any roadblocks that come up, and putting in an infrastructure that enables us to pivot and change as needed to stay market leaders in the industry.” Jill Lorenz “There is no failure. A failure is really a win, so we call them fins.” Jill Lorenz "We can’t be stuck in a way to get from A to Z, it’s about being able to pivot and finding the best, fastest, most quality way to get there."Jill Lorenz “It’s always different and that’s what really keeps us excited, motivated and growing. So that is one of the pros of being an entrepreneur.. But sometimes it can be frustrating as well.”-Ariana Chernin “Stay hungry, especially in our industry and as entrepreneurs it’s about evolving.” -Jill Lorenz

Help support this podcast! >> Hey there, friends. In episode 018 of the Write Now podcast, I'm going to give you some advice that I'll bet you don't hear all that often: Fail a lot. As writers, why are we such perfectionists? Why do we expect perfection from ourselves? Shouldn't we understand better than anyone else that the human creature is inherently and beautifully flawed? I know, I know. I'm guilty of this, too. But let's do something we writers tend to be not-super-great at and dive headfirst into REALITY and admit: We are human. We are not perfect. And that is okay. Go ahead and repeat that a couple times, whether out loud or simply to yourself. Because it's true, and it's true of everyone. Especially if you're the type of person who protects yourself from failure -- and by doing so also prevents yourself from trying. And protects yourself from success. Failure fun facts: Failure is not rejection -- rejection is subjective feedback. Failure is not the opposite of success -- failure is a step toward success. Failure is not consequence -- before you stop yourself from failing at (a.k.a trying) something, it pays to find out what the consequences for that failure are, if any. If anyone has been successful at anything, whether it's writing a book or painting a mural or learning to walk, it's because they failed a lot on the way there. The more you fail, the more you'll succeed. In short, you have all the permission you need to fail a lot. Now go out and make it happen. The book of the week. The paranormal romance genre (often called PNR) has been gaining popularity over the past decade or two, recently exploding into the Twilight phenomenon. But far before Edward began stalking Bella, Buffy romanced Angel and Spike, readers fell in love with Christine Feehan's dark side, and Elena Michaels was bitten. I love PNR -- as long as it's well written. There are so many coattail-riders out there post-Twilight success that sometimes it can be hard to tell the good from the bad. However, I picked up Dark Currents by Jacqueline Carey with blissfully blind confidence. Jacqueline Carey has long been one of my favorite writers. I first read her (in)famous Kushiel's Dart series in high school and found a whole new world of sexy political intrigue in a uniquely feminine high-fantasy setting. It was new and surprising and soaked in syrupy language while remaining imminently readable. So when I saw that Ms. Carey had written a PNR series, I was ecstatic. How was she going to deviate from the norm this time? I wondered. I bought all the volumes I could find (which, at time of writing, is 3) and happily began to devour the first, Dark Currents. Unfortunately, Ms. Carey's considerable skill wasn't enough to elevate this novel from what it was: a perfectly by-the-book (no pun intended) PNR standard. Love triangles, mythical beasts, sociopaths, and a murder mystery should make for an immensely compelling story. But unfortunately, we've seen it all before, and all too often. Also, I'm still not super 100% sure what to make of the main character's tail. Keep up-to-date with my reading exploits on Goodreads. Featured quote: Leave me a review. Like the Write Now podcast?

Today's story is an excerpt from Jacqueline Carey's novel, Kushiel's Dart.  It's a marvelous book and I heartily recommend it to lovers of fantasy, romance, and erotica.  The reader is my wife, Dee.  Kushiel's Dart is copyright 2001, Jacqueline Carey.Some folks have voiced a distaste for erotica read by a man, so I have instituted an alternate feed at http://nobilis.libsyn.com/rss/reader that will contain only those episodes where the reader of the story has one or more female voices.Theme music is "Twenty First Century Love" by The Aphrodisiacs, courtesy of the Podsafe Music Network.Direct Download
