We've talked before about the difference between aesthetic-driven genres, like sci-fi and fantasy, and structure-driven genres, like mystery and romance. So what happens when you want to build a world just ripe for all your favorite romance tropes? How can your world create the obstacles to your characters getting their happy-ever-after? Guest Gwenda Bond joins us to talk about the love of worldbuilding and worldbuilding for love! A lot of writing romance means dealing with reader's expectations in a slightly different way than some other story-types. How useful are the sub-genre distinctions that might shape those expectations -- fantasy romance, romantic fantasy, fantasy with romance, romantasy, paranormal romance -- from the writer's perspective? And why are some SFF readers still worried that sex and romance might get cooties on their genre? In this episode, we look at how romance can hybridize with so many different forms and flavors of fantasy writing, and what choices writers make when directing the reader's attention more towards the romance or more towards the fantasy.

This week on my podcast, I read my Locus Magazine column “Don’t Be Evil,” about the microeconomics and moral injury of enshittification.

For Christopher Rowe, author of The Navigating Fox, writing prompts can help him generate work when he's feeling stuck. In fact, one of his first stories to be widely published, translated into a dozen different languages, and reviewed in The New York Times was based on a writing prompt.Christopher's favorite prompt will challenge you to rethink some of the decisions you've already made in a piece of writing. "Because I think that if you're going to write from a prompt at all, in any circumstance," he says, "you should just go with it.... If you're going to trust the prompt, you have to trust yourself to work with it."About Christopher RoweChristopher Rowe's stories have been published, reprinted, and translated around the world, and he has been a finalist for many internationally recognized awards. His most recent book is a novella from Tordotcom Publishing, The Navigating Fox, which received a starred review in Publishers Weekly. Locus Magazine said that Rowe's stories are “as smooth and heady as good Kentucky bourbon.”

Locus Magazine wrote glowingly of Rich: "If one tried to engineer a young writer who would embody all the core values, tactics, and ambiance of Classic SF while still conveying ultra-contemporary attitudes, ambiance, and affect, one could hardly produce a better candidate than Rich Larson"Rich was born in Niger and has lived in Grand Prairie, Alberta in Canada, Spain and the Czech Republic. Rich considers himself to be a speculative fiction author. He has written over 200 short stories and 2 novels Ymir and Annex, as well as the collection Tomorrow Factory.  His short story “Ice” was adapted into an Emmy-winning episode of LOVE DEATH + ROBOTS (available on Netflix).Ymir (published by Orbit Books) is imaginative and compelling. It's a far future story of a despised prodigal returning to his icy home world of Ymir to track down a sapient war machine, break a mining strike and to confront the last person he ever wanted to see again—the brother who sent him off in pieces twenty years ago. By the way, when you check out the marketing it calls the novel a "retelling of Beowulf".  Rich told us prior to recording that his publisher asked him what his next novel will be and he quickly replied "Beowulf in space" and it stuck with them. There is absolutely no need to read or refresh yourself on Beowulf. Well, just remember that Grendel is a monster  (Also a terrific novel by John Gardner and an excellent restaurant and bar in Cambridge, MA!)And for those who don't want to jump into a new series, Ymir is a stand-alone novel. We think it will make a breathtaking film one day. We spoke to Rich in Montreal, Canada.Rich Larsonhttps://richwlarson.tumblr.com/Patreon Site: https://bit.ly/3jKSE5TYmir by Rich Larsonhttps://richwlarson.tumblr.com/ymirhttps://www.hachettebookgroup.com/?s=ymirProduction Note: Jake and Ron originally spoke to Rich Larson in August 2022.

This week, in our more-or-less annual discussion of the Locus Recommended Reading List, we are delighted to be joined by Locus Editor-in-Chief Liza Groen Trombi. We talk about the purpose of the list, how it has changed over the years, how books or stories get on the list, and a few thorny questions about how to decide whether a novel is SF or fantasy if it contains substantial elements of both. In addition to mentioning some of our own favourite works of the year, we touch upon the importance of the First Novels list, which might be a harbinger of what's to come, and how story collections and YA novels have grown in importance over the years. Toward the end, we pay a brief tribute to two Locus Magazine pioneers, reviewer Faren Miller (who was also the magazine's first full-time employee), and bibliographer William G. Contento, who helped establish resources that remain crucial to anyone interested in the SFF field.

LETS KNOW A LITTLE MORE ABOUT SHAHID: Shahid Mahmud created Arc Manor Publishers in 2006, with an SF/Fantasy imprint called Phoenix Pick, specializing in republishing out-of-print books by established authors using the latest publishing technologies emerging in the industry. Within a few years the company was publishing older books by some iconic authors including L. Sprague de Camp, Jack Chalker, Leigh Brackett and Daniel Galouye. In 2012 Phoenix Pick reprinted a title by, Robert A. Heinlein starting a long partnership with the Heinlein estate. In 2013 the company introduced Galaxy's Edge magazine, which was created and edited by 5-time Hugo winner Mike Resnick who edited it till his death last year. Arc Manor created a new imprint, CEAZIK SF & Fantasy in 2020 publishing titles on a traditional distribution basis. The first book they published under the new imprint in March 2020 was a new work by Robert A. Heinlein called the Pursuit of the Pankera based on a rediscovered manscript. The book became a Locus Magazine bestseller. Since then CAEZIK has published new works by authors like Robert Sawyer, Harry Turtledove, James Morrow and Ben Bova who's last work, Power Challenges was published by CAEZIK posthumously. Arc Manor's Galaxy's Edge magazine has also partnered with Dragon Con to create an annual award called the Mike Resnick Memorial Award for Short Fiction which attempts to carry on Mike's passion of encouraging newer writers in the field The first award was given out last month. Prior to becoming a publisher, Shahid was a bond portfolio manager working for the City of San Diego. The acting mayor of San Diego declared November 7th, 2005, to be “Shahid Mahmud” day for services rendered to the City.

Tochi Onyebuchi joined the Providence Community Library as part of their PCL Reads series on Wednesday, February 10th to discuss Riot Baby, a companion read for the 2021 Reading Across Rhode Island program. Co-hosted virtually by Amy VanderWeele at South Providence Library and Rhode Island Center for the Book, the conversation was moderated by Jonathan Pitts-Wiley, the Artistic Director of Mixed Magic Theatre (MMT) in Pawtucket. To watch a recording of the interview, visit the Providence Community Library Youtube Page. Find Riot Baby at your local library, as an ebook through RI's eZone, or contact Amy Vanderweele at the South Providence Library for multiple copies for a book club. The music in this episode is Soft Inspiration by Scott Holmes. ABOUT THE AUTHOR Tochi Onyebuchi is the author of Beasts Made of Night, its sequel Crown of Thunder, War Girls, and his adult fiction debut “Riot Baby,” published by Tor.com in January 2020. He has graduated from Yale University, New York University's Tisch School of the Arts, Columbia Law School, and L'institut d'études politiques with a Masters degree in Global Business Law. His short fiction has appeared in Asimov's Science Fiction, Omenana, BLACK ENOUGH: STORIES OF BEING YOUNG & BLACK IN AMERICA, and elsewhere. His non-fiction has appeared in Uncanny Magazine, Nowhere Magazine, Tor.com and the Harvard Journal of African-American Public Policy. He is the winner of the Ilube Nommo Award for Best Speculative Fiction Novel by an African and has appeared in Locus Magazine's Recommended Reading list. Born in Massachusetts and raised in Connecticut, Tochi is a consummate New Englander, preferring the way the tree leaves turn the color of fire on I-84 to mosquitoes and being able to boil eggs on pavement. He has worked in criminal justice, the tech industry, and immigration law, and prays every day for a new album from System of a Down. ABOUT THE BOOK Rooted in foundational loss and the hope that can live in anger, “Riot Baby” is both a global dystopian narrative and intimate family story with quietly devastating things to say about love, fury, and the black American experience. Ella and Kev are brother and sister, both gifted with extraordinary power. Their childhoods are defined and destroyed by structural racism and brutality. Their futures might alter the world. When Kev is incarcerated for the crime of being a young black man in America, Ella―through visits both mundane and supernatural―tries to show him the way to a revolution that could burn it all down. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/rhodyradio/message

Die meisten Steampunks wissen wenig über die Ursprünge des Steampunk. Wir sind Teil eines seltsamen Phänomens, in dem sich viele aufwendig kostümierte Menschen "Fans" von Büchern nennen, die sie nicht einmal kennen. Das ist nicht allzu verwunderlich, da Steampunk als Genre erst später zu einer Kunst- und Lifestyle-Bewegung wurde. Die wenigen Geschichten des Genres sind zu lang, als dass die meisten Menschen sie verdauen könnten, aber ohne die Grundlagen zu kennen, schwelgen die Enthusiasten in einer flachen Pfütze aus Klischees, wo sie doch in einem Ozean der Phantasie schwimmen könnten. Als Kur schlage ich vor, acht der kreativsten Werke der spekulativen Fiktion des späten zwanzigsten Jahrhunderts zu lesen, die Romane, die den Steampunk definieren.

John Evans was one of Howard Browne's many pseudonyms Even during his lifetime, Howard Browne (1908-1999) was not well known outside of his given fields. His novels, including his best detective fiction, were written under pseudonyms, and his work as editor and Hollywood writer, through credited, remained mostly unknown, except by those in the business. During his long lifetime Browne published hundreds of stories in science fiction and detective magazines, along with several novels. He wrote dozens of television shows including Mission Impossible, Run for Your Life, Maverick and Cheyenne, and three of his film scripts were produced: Portrait of a Mobster with Vic Morrow; The St. Valentine's Day Massacre with Jason Robards and George Segal; and Capone, starring Ben Gazzara. He also wrote radio scripts in the late 1940s. His day job, before he went to Hollywood, was as an associate editor under Ray Palmer and then editor for Ziff-Davis pulp magazines, which included Amazing Stories, Fantastic Adventures and other lesser known fiction magazines. Richard A. Lupoff interviewed Howard Browne at Browne's home in Southern California some time in the mid 1980s (the cassettes aren't labeled). This was Browne's only radio interview, and only the second extant interview on record (the other appeared in Locus Magazine). After he retired, Howard Browne taught a couple of college classes and worked on a big Chicago novel that never saw publication. Most of his work is out of print today, though his four noir novels, in the style of Raymond Chandler and featuring a detective named Paul Pine, are available in a small press edition published this past spring by Haffner Press, with an introduction by Richard A. Lupoff. If you go to Imdb, you'll find a long list of his television shows, many of which can be found streaming. Curiously, his novel Thin Air formed the basis for his first television credit, on the show Climax in 1955, and his last, for an episode of Simon and Simon in 1982. Thin Air was also the basis for an episode on yet a third program, The Rockford Files. Two minor points: Browne says he never wrote for Hawaiian Eye, yet IMDb claims he wrote an episode, and he says he retired in 1973 but his credits extend to 1975. The interview has now been remastered and re-edited, and is presented for the first time in thirty years. Feedback on this and other podcasts is appreciated. You can write to bookwaves@hotmail.com.

In the beginning, acclaimed authors Neil Gaiman and Terry Pratchett teamed up to write the most British version of Armageddon ever. The book Good Omens is a Black Mass Appeal host favorite, so on this episode we discuss the story of demon Crowley and angel Aziraphale doing their damnedest (and blessedest) to track down a misplaced Antichrist and stop the end of the world. Also, archaeologists cash out a 40 year old myth about Satanic coinage, and we prep for Satanic San Francisco's own night at the museum. (Also, Simone apologizes for calling Michael Sheen "Martin Sheen" not once, but twice, even though she's well aware that Michael never played President Bartlet.)

Catherine is here today with Kate Forsyth. Kate Forsyth wrote her first novel at the age of seven, and is now the internationally bestselling & award-winning author of almost forty, ranging from picture books to poetry to novels for both adults and children. She was recently voted one of Australia's Favourite 15 Novelists, and has been called 'one of the finest writers of this generation'. She is also an accredited master storyteller with the Australian Guild of Storytellers, and has told stories to both children and adults all over the world. Her most recent book for adults is a historical novel called 'The Beast's Garden' which retells the Grimm brothers' version of 'Beauty & the Beast', set in the German underground resistance to Hitler in World War II. "A wonderful tale of daring and courage, of struggle and survival, of love and loyalty, this is a ‘must read'." Book'd Out 'The Wild Girl' tells the true, untold love story of Wilhelm Grimm and Dortchen Wild, the young woman who told him many of the world's most famous fairy tales. Set during the Napoleonic Wars, 'The Wild Girl' is a story of love, war, heartbreak, and the redemptive power of storytelling, and was named the Most Memorable Love Story of 2013.

Website - http://darinbradley.com/ Darin is the author of three novels—Noise, Chimpanzee, and Totem (October, 2016). He holds a Ph.D. in English Literature and Theory with a concentration in Poetics, which he earned under the direction of theoretical syntactician and linguist Haj Ross. As an academic, he primarily focused on the intersection of contemporary cognitive theory and literary analysis. Darin has taught courses on writing and literature at the University of North Texas, Furman University, and East Tennessee State University—including specialized topics such as “Apocalypse, Annihilation, and Unrest in Contemporary Media” and “Jules Verne, the Wild West, and Frontier Socialism.” He now conducts workshops and gives presentations independently, most recently for the University of North Texas, Richland College, Texas Woman’s University, Texas Christian University, and Wofford College. Darin also worked as the principal script writer for id Software, the industry-leading video game studio behind such iconic titles as Quake and Rage. He contributed story development, voice-acting scripts, character creation, and worldbuilding to early versions of id’s most recent title, the re-issue of Doom.

He has worked in various editorial and design capacities for a number of both nonprofit and commercial publications, including Farrago’s Wainscot, an ezine showcasing fiction and poetry in the “literary weird” mode, where he has served as founding editor-in-chief and designer since 2007. He is a co-founder of Goliad Media, an independent publishing, recording, and art production house based in North Texas. Darin’s books have been praised for “dazzling originality” (NPR Books) and for being “exceptionally polished” (Publishers Weekly). His books have twice been named to Locus Magazine’s Recommended Reading List, and Library Journal listed Chimpanzee among its top indie titles of 2014. Darin dreams of empty places, and he likes it when things fall apart.
