My guest this episode is Lucy Hounsom, talented new author of the high-but-subversive fantasy 'Worldmaker' trilogy. We discuss fantasy maps, the benefit of showing/keeping your early work, Skyrim mods and why we don't see more crossover game/book writers. Lucy's new release 'Heartland' is the second in her trilogy, and it's a thrill-ride rite-of-passage full of cracking originality, flawed but loveable characters and a great magic system.

Our second reader for August was Lucy Housom whose second novel in her Worldmaker series, Heartland, was published that week. The series will conclude with Firestorm next year and we have already booked Lucy to come back and read from it. Much of the Q&A involved covers and marketing. Lucy's books have recently been re-launched with dramatically different covers. Because she works for a well known major bookstore chain, Lucy has a special insight into how books are marketed. Lucy also discussed her podcast, Breaking the Glass Slipper. BristolCon Fringe is a monthly reading series produced by the BristolCon Foundation. For further details see our Venue and Schedule pages.
