In the screening room Angus has discovered a revealing interview given by Marjorie M. Liu as she was wrapping up her run on Astonishing X-Men. During the 2013 Melbourne Writers Festival, she came to the Wheeler Centre for an exclusive video-only interview with Joe Morris (host of the NonCanonical comics podcast). She discusses the thrills, challenges and romance of writing; the transition from her erstwhile career as a lawyer; navigating the gendered genres of romance and comics; going off the deep end with your fiction; and the value of revising your work.

Liu on Comics, Romance and the Joy of Writing https://youtu.be/4iezrsDRk6U Please join us in celebration of Image Comics Month: Monstress https://www.amazon.com/Monstress-Vol-1-Marjorie-Liu-ebook/dp/B01DJOS93I/ Set in an alternate matriarchal 1900's Asia, in a richly imagined world of art deco-inflected steampunk, MONSTRESS tells the story of a teenage girl who is struggling to survive the trauma of war, and who shares a mysterious psychic link with a monster of tremendous power, a connection that will transform them both. Entertainment Weekly praised MONSTRESS as "one of Image Comics' most imaginative and daring new series" and dubbed it the "Best New Original Series" in their year-end "Best Comics of 2015" list.

In season one we read a short story compilation that included a story by Marjorie Liu, it was from this series and we loved the idea so much we talked about wanting to read a whole book.  Why it took us 3 years to make good on our discussion is anyone's guess.  But here we are.  We are happy to relate that we weren't disappointed.  This is a fantastic and interesting concept.  We love the tattoos as armor that become actual demons when night falls.  The mystery that Maxine has to solve is wild and requires close reading to follow.  The characters are strong and interesting with their own flaws.  To be fair, this is more of an urban fantasy than a romance novel.  Maxine is already in a relationship with Grant when the books starts and while they have moments of tenderness and intimacy, it is not the focus of the book. We liked this book for the plot and unique story, but it doesn't give us the dirty, sexy times we love to read. ***We would love and appreciate it if you could Subscribe then Rate & Review us on iTunes!

I like books about books so much that I have a whole shelf on my good reads called books about books about books. I look forward to reading your recommendations for it but I wanted to put my hat in the ring. So in that vein: The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society The Eyre Affair (and really the whole Thursday Next Series) Mister Pip If on a Winters Night a Traveler Cloud Atlas Love the podcast! Best, Miranda   2. Dear Jen and Amanda, I wrote to you a few months ago for book recs to help with my recent break up and boy did you deliver the goods! You helped me out of a sad time and reading slump, and made me push through. I've decided to go travelling through Europe alone (but armed with my kindle) and would love some recommendations on solo travel from a female perspective/women taking over the universe/generally fierce women to accompany me through my travels. Thanks for being two bad ass women and keeping me company throughout my tumultuous but exciting year. Love, Ron   3. Hi Ladies, I love it when houses are characters in books. Some personal favorites are Jane Eyre, du Maurier's Rebecca and The Likeness by Tana French. I've also loved We Have Always Lived in the Castle and The Haunting of Hill House by Shirley Jackson as well as The Woman in Black by Susan Hill. Could you recommend some great books that feature houses as characters? Happy to read any genre. Bonus points if it's haunted! Best, Kristi   4. Hi! I am getting ready to travel to Antarctica in early November and would love some recommendations for books to read either before I go or while I'm there. I've read "Where'd You Go, Bernadette" by Maria Semple and am about to start "Endurance" by Alfred Lansing. I like to go into an adventure with a good historical and scientific background, so I'm open to pretty much anything (fiction or non-fiction) that will get me excited for what I'm about to see and experience! Thank you! Sydney   5. Hi! Hispanic Heritage month (Sept 15-Oct 15) has me wanting to tap into my Mexican-American roots. I want to fill in the gaps of my knowledge. Especially in this political climate that tries to vilify these communities. Can you recommend any nonfiction about Central and South America to tap into the complex history and culture. Bonus points if available on audio.

Authors Eric Flint, Mike Resnick, David B. Coe, Marjorie M. Liu, Catherine Asaro and Sarah A. Hoyt are guests, as are: Lucienne Diver (a major literary agent), Toni Weisskopf (the new head of Baen Books) and Walt Boyes (the soon to be famous Bananaslug). Hosted by Stephen Euin Cobb, this is the December 1, 2006 episode of The Future And You. [Running time: 152 minutes] --- Topics include: [1] News Item: This show is now teamed with the largest SF online magazine in the world Jim Baen's Universe. [2] Can the magazine equivalent of an e-book compete with magazines printed on paper? Launched this summer with the legendary publisher's name on its masthead and the support of Baen Books behind it, Eric Flint explains how he and the staff of Jim Baen's Universe intend to find out, as well as what they've learned already. [3] The podcasting debut of Jim Baen's Universe. Walt Boyes interviews Mike Resnick (winner of five Hugo Awards). [4] How rapid is the growth of home schooling? Is it really better than public school? And are parents even qualified to teach their kids? Catherine Asaro (author, physicist and former ballerina) who has home schooled her own daughter for years and now teaches advanced mathematics to eighty other home schooled children, emphasizes that it's not just for religious families anymore. [5] Toni Weisskopf (the new head of Baen Books) describes her take on the singularity, technological immortality, global warming, the next fall of civilization, the Chinese going to the moon, faster-than-light travel, cryonics and SETI. [6] Another installment in our serialization of the novel: Bones Burnt Black. [7] Is the future we live in today already weirder than the futures we dreamed of decades ago? Sarah A. Hoyt (author and polyglot) thinks so, and insists that if science increases our healthy years by a few more decades this will produce a huge cascade of changes throughout society. [8] Lucienne Diver (one of publishing's top literary agents) describes trends within the publishing industry, as well as her worries and hopes for the future outside the biz. [9] How can you verify scientifically the day when men and women are equal? Your host has devised an empirical measurement completely devoid of bias. [10] How soon will parents give in to the temptation to use increasingly available eugenics technologies to improve their own children? Marjorie M. Liu (N.Y. Times bestselling author and former lawyer) describes the inevitable legal and judicial problems soon to be dropped in society's lap. She also startles the host with her revelation that there are judges sitting on the bench right now who have not passed the bar, have never been lawyers and have no degree in law. [11] In the face of our looming energy crisis is it time for passionate environmentalists to rethink their knee-jerk opposition to nuclear power and hydroelectric dams? David B. Coe (author and environmentalist with a PhD in environmental history) risks his environmentalist street creds by insisting that it is.
