Die Kurzgeschichte "Es war einmal ein Tier..." von Stephen R. Donaldson handelt von einem Einhorn (oder genauer gesagt von einem Mann, der sich in ein Einhorn verwandelt) in einer Gesellschaft, in der kein Platz für Einhörner ist, eine Gesellschaft, in der die Menschen der Zukunft die durch ständige Überwachung und Kontrolle durch ihre medizinischen Implantate beruhigt und sicher gestellt werden. Eine Gesellschaft, in der ein plötzlich unerwartet auftauchendes Einhorn eine alte, vergessen geglaubte Angst weckt, die für alle, nicht nur für das Einhorn (das mit bürgerlichem Namen Norman heißt) gefährlich werden kann. -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

This Day All Gods Die is the conclusion to Stephen R. Donaldson's Gap Cycle, and what a conclusion it is! This is a novel-length climax that's an edge-of-your-seat experience from the first to the last page!TTYpodcast.comThumbingthroughyesterday.com
We continue our journey through Stephen R. Donaldson's Gap Cycle with Chaos and Order, book 4 of the series. Events continue to accelerate and the scope continues to expand, with Trumpet facing the worst threats to her survival so far. As we're finally moving past some of the character-level cruelty, Tony is enjoying this book more than the earlier ones. TTYpodcast.comThumbingthroughyesterday.com
A Dark and Hungry God Arises is the 3rd book in Stephen R. Donaldson's Gap Cycle. Tony isn't enjoying the read, but acknowledges the mastery of the world building. Tom is in awe of how well Donaldson is setting up events for the climax yet to come. In this volume, we see the core characters consolidate at Billingate, an illegal shipyard just inside Amnion space. Back at Earth, the conflict between the Dragon and Warden Dios begins to take shape. TTYpodcast.comThumbingthroughyesterday.com
Forbidden Knowledge by Stephen R. Donaldson is the 2nd book in his Gap Cycle. We read the first for episode 9; now, we're undertaking the rest of the series. What happens to Morn now that she's escaped the clutches of Angus Thermopylae? How did Nick Succorso manage to get her away from Com-Mine station? What are the deeper threads that bind these characters? In book 2, we begin to get a glimpse just how big this universe really is.TTYpodcast.comThumbingthroughyesterday.com
Mark interviews Canadian Epic Fantasy author Richard H. Stephens about finally realizing a life-long dream of writing, about how his fourteen book fantasy series was inspired by hearing an Iron Maiden song in 1982, and about selling print books at in person events. Prior to the interview, Mark reminds listeners about sending THEIR reflections for forthcoming Episode 300, provides a personal update and shares a word about this episode's sponsor. You can learn more about how you can get your audiobooks distributed to retailers and library systems around the world at starkreflections.ca/Findaway. In their conversation, Mark and Richard talk about: Richard's epic fantasy writing, which is told in trilogy batches, all within the same universe How the song "Run to the Hills" from Iron Maiden in the early 1980s put the story that became his first trilogy into his head, but also how Richard's serious start in writing didn't start until 2017 How his first novel was called "The River Styx" for the first 33 years that he kept it kicking around in his head Pitching his first novel to an agent, and then realizing this was something he could do for himself Publishing 14 books in the "Soul Forge" universe since 2018 A bit of a background on the reasoning behind retiring from Waterloo Police Service, and how that allowed him to be able to write Richard's analogy of being the race car driver with a fantastic pit crew (his wife, family, and the professionals he works with) that helps him look good Why Richard invests so much into in person and print selling Meeting David M. Kelly at GraphicCon in Sudbury, ON and how Richard learned a lot from David in that type of environment How 2020 was supposed to be their "breakthrough" year The value of what happens when a person browsing at Richard's table realizing they're actually talking to an author The epic-fantasy themed costumes that Richard will sometimes wear when doing an event in person The trilogy discount promotional pricing that Richard can offer Ordering print copies from a local printer (in Toronto) rather than having them shipped from Amazon The trailer Richard has for doing in person events with the book covers on it Richard's advice on not being afraid to engage with people, and don't be shy about sharing the fact that you are the author How, even with a sign that has your photo on them and a "meet the author today" people still don't "get it" that the author is right there The importance of trying different ways and approaches to see what works best for you Making someone's day by offering a woman who was having a bad day the opportunity to name a dragon in one of his books How Richard decides which in person book events are worth it and which ones aren't Advice Richard would give to his younger 1982 self And more... After the interview, Mark reflects on the importance of making it clear, despite when things seem like they're already overtly obvious, as well as how we all tend to focus on our "one star" elements rather than our "five star" ones.

David M. Kelly writes fast-paced, near-future sci-fi thrillers with engaging characters, cynical humor, and plausible science. He is the author of the Joe Ballen series, Logan's World series, and the Hyperia Jones series, and has been published in Canadian SF magazine Neo-opsis.David's interest in science and technology began early. At the age of six his parents allowed him to stay up late into the night to watch the television broadcast of Neil Armstrong stepping on to the surface of the moon. From that day he was hooked on everything related to science and space.An avid reader, he worked his way through the contents of the mobile library that visited his street, progressing through YA titles (or ‘juveniles' as they were known back then) on to the classics of Robert Heinlein, Isaac Asimov, Arthur C. Clarke, and Harry Harrison.David worked for many years in project management and software development. Along the way his interests have included IPSC combat (target) pistol shooting, crew chief on a drag racing team, and several years as bass player/vocalist in a heavy rock band. He also managed to fit in some real work in manual jobs from digging ditches and assembly lines jobs to loading trucks in a haulage company.http://davidmkelly.comBorn in Simcoe, Ontario, in 1965, I was raised and still reside in Cambridge, Ontario. I began writing circa 1974, a bored child looking for something to while away the long, summertime days. My penchant for reading, 'The Hardy Boys,' led to an inspiration one sweltering summer afternoon, when my best friend and I thought, ‘We could write one of those.' And so, I did.As my reading horizons broadened, so did my writing. 'Star Wars' inspired me to write a 600-page novel about outer space that caught the attention of a special teacher, Mr. Woodley, who encouraged me to keep on writing.A trip to a local book store saw the proprietor introduce me to Stephen R. Donaldson and Terry Brooks. My writing life was forever changed.At 17, I left high school to join the working world to support my first son. For the next twenty-two years I worked as a shipper at a local bakery. At the age of 36, I went back to high school to complete my education. After graduating with honors at the age of thirty-nine, I became a member of our local Police Service, and worked for 12 years in the provincial court system.In early 2017, I resigned from the Police Service to pursue my love of writing full-time. With the help and support of my lovely wife Caroline and our 5 children, I have now realized my boyhood dream. http://richardhstephens.comThe Douglas Coleman Show now offers audio and video promotional packages for music artists as well as video promotional packages for authors.

In den 80er Jahren haben einige sehr interessante Werke der Fantasy ihren Ursprung. Stephen King begann sein gewaltiges Epos "Der dunkle Turm", Stephen R. Donaldson legte seinen "Thomas Covenant" vor. Und es gab noch andere, die heute zur Grundlage dieses Genres zählen, alles in allem aber war es ein Tasten im Dunkeln. Die meisten Autoren zeigten sich von Tolkien inspiriert, der wie ein Magnet alle Ideen an sich zu reißen schien. Deutsche Autoren waren ohnehin nicht auf dieser Landkarte verzeichnet. Einer von ihnen machte aber gleich in seiner Anfangsphase dann doch von sich reden: Wolfgang Hohlbein. Und scheinbar brauchte der Mann keine Anlaufzeit, denn mit dem ersten Buch seiner Enwor-Saga brach er nicht nur mit der Tradition Tolkiens, sondern demonstrierte auch gleich jene ungeheure Fabulierlust, die ihm nicht nur Lob einbrachte.

The opening to an epic sci-fi series, The Real Story is an example of Stephen R. Donaldson doing what he does so well. A favorite of Tom's, and a first-read for Tony, The Real Story focuses on one of the most irredeemable characters you're likely to ever encounter, and the dark world which spawned him.

Les chroniques de Thomas Covenant est ce que j'appelle un roman Tolkien-like mais qui est bien loin du modèle d'origine. Je ne jette pas l'opprobre sur l'auteur car moi aussi j'aimerai, peut-être, dans un futur lointain écrire une grande épopée mais il faut bien l'avouer : l'histoire n'est pas extraordinaire et même barbante. Le protagoniste est oisif et passif. Et en plus c'est un gros *** : non mais faire ça à une jeune fille de 16 ans… Cependant, et ça s'est un vrai bonus pour ce livre, nous apprenons plus de choses sur la lèpre et il faut bien l'avouer que le Fief est un endroit qui a l'air d'être merveilleux. Dommage que l'auteur a voulu trop en jeter dans ce premier tome – au détriment de l'évolution de Thomas Covenant – car j'aurai pu adorer lire ses livres.

For episode 23, Elizabeth and Ben are joined by teacher, opera singer and Dungeon Master Myf Coghill on a trip to Ankh-Morpork's opera house in 1994's Discworld novel of witches, phantoms and experimental cookery: Maskerade! Nanny Ogg finds herself in a coven with Granny Weatherwax and...no-one. She decides young Agnes Nitt - last seen dabbling in the craft while wearing black lace and calling herself "Perdita" - is just the person to fill the position - but Agnes has run off to Ankh-Morpork to join the opera, where all is not well. A mysterious "Opera Ghost" watches over every performance, and while he used to be seen as a good luck charm, he's become demanding, dangerous and possibly deranged. "Perdita" has gotten herself mixed up in it all, thanks to her friendship with the ingenue Christine. Can she find out the identity of the Opera Ghost before the bodies start stacking up - and before Granny and Nanny stick their noses in and do it for her? Pratchett delves into a world hitherto unknown to him and takes Granny and Nanny to the big city for their penultimate book, heavily influenced by The Phantom of the Opera, and about much more earthly matters than their previous adventures. We learn a lot about opera, Andrew Lloyd Webber and the world of publishing, and delve into Pratchett's treatment of Agnes, a beloved character whose unflattering portrayal was the subject of many questions and comments. Did Maskerade bring out the opera fan in you? Do you think Agnes deserved better? And despite being a bit of a downer, is this one of the best Discworld books we've discussed so far? Use the hashtag #Pratchat23 on social media to join the conversation and let us know what you think! We're staying in Ankh-Morpork for Feet of Clay in October before heading back in time to explore the origins of Granny Weatherwax in November with Equal Rites. Plus our subscriber-only bonus podcast, Ook Club, has launched! You can subscribe for as little as $2 a month to check it out. You'll find all the details on our Support Us page. Show Notes and Errata: You can find Myfanwy Coghill on Twitter at @_merlenoir_.The Chronicles of Thomas Covenant is a series of ten fantasy novels written by American author Stephen R. Donaldson between 1977 and 2013. Covenant is an author from our world who loses two fingers before being diagnosed with leprosy, shortly before his wife divorces him. When he is knocked unconscious he is transported to "the Land", a fantasy world where he is a hero of prophecy in the conflict against the evil Lord Foul, though Thomas thinks that the Land is a delusion. The series has had a mixed critical response. If you're going to look into them, please note our content warning: the first book contains an act of rape and this is referred to many times throughout the first trilogy. The English sit-com Keeping Up Appearances was a farce created by Roy Clarke (of Open All Hours and Last of the Summer Wine fame) which ran on BBC One from 1990 to 1995. It starred Patricia Routledge as Hyacinth Bucket, a woman who aspires to move among the upper class, and is desperately ashamed of her lower class family. A running gag is that she tries to have everyone pronounce her family name "bouquet", despite the fact that her middle class husband Richard - played by Clive Swift - has always pronounced it "bucket".Avengers: Endgame (2019) was the final film in the Avengers series, part of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. It brought together characters from the previous twenty-one Marvel films in a massive crossover, and became the highest-grossing film of all time.Deadpool and its sequel Deadpool 2 are films from 20th Century Fox about the titular superhero character, a mutant mercenary with rapid healing powers. While technically part of the X-Men film franchise, the films are made on a lower budget and Deadpool - who often breaks the fourth wall in the comics and is aware he is in a movie - comments on the lack of cameos from mo...

Back in April, Liz and Ben attended the seventh bi-annual Australian Discworld Convention, Nullus Anxietas VII! They enlisted fellow convention guest (and friend of the podcast), author Tansy Rayner Roberts, to discuss the earliest Discworld short story: 1991's Troll Bridge! Cohen the Barbarian has led a long life, but his greatest glories and biggest adventures seem far behind him. It's time to tick a few items off his bucket list - starting with facing a troll in one-on-one combat. But when he and his annoying talking horse reach one of the few troll bridges left on the Disc, things aren't as straightforward as they were in the old days... With the Snowgum Films adaptation of Troll Bridge being screened at the convention, it seemed only right to cover the source material in this, our first ever live show! Like a lot of Pratchett's work, Troll Bridge is by turns silly and deep, drawing on the traditions of Tolkien and Howard while at the same time pointing out that their worlds couldn't stay the same forever. Did you find it poignant? When do you think it happens in Cohen's timeline? And is a short story enough for an entire podcast? We'd love to know! Use the hashtag #PratchatNA7 on social media to join the conversation. We'd like to extend our warm thanks to everyone who attended the convention; you all made us feel so welcome, and it was such a special experience to be among so many Discworld fans, speaking on panels and chairing debates and meeting you all! Especially big thanks to those of you who came to be in our first live audience, and to the massive team of hard-working volunteers at Nullus Anxietas, without whom fan conventions like this just couldn't happen. That goes eig- er, one more than sevenfold to Suzie Eisfelder, Lisa Lagergren, Steve Lewis and all the other members of the committee, who organise such a massive undertaking every two years. We hope to see you all in Sydney in 2021 for Nullus Anxietas 7A! We hope to do some more live shows in the future, probably as bonus episodes like this one. Regular episodes will continue to be released on the 7Ath of each month...and in episode 21, coming up next in July 2019, you can find out what Genghiz Cohen did next as we discuss Interesting Times. Show Notes and Errata: Tansy Rayner Roberts is an award-winning writer and podcast host. She's written fantasy novels, short fiction, feminist essays and much more; of particular interest to Pratchat listeners is Pratchett's Women, a collection of essays about the women in the Discworld novels. She co-hosts the podcasts Galactic Suburbia (about sci-fi and writing in Australia) and Verity! (about Doctor Who), and has her own fiction podcast Sheep Might Fly. You can find Tansy on the web at tansyrr.com, on Patreon at patreon.com/tansyrr, and also on Twitter, Instagram and Facebook.Troll Bridge was first published in the 1991 anthology After the King: Stories In Honour of J.R.R. Tolkien, the most recent edition of which was released in 2012. Other authors in the collection include Stephen R. Donaldson, Jane Yolen, Gregory Benford, Emma Bull, Poul and Karen Anderson, Judith Tarr, Harry Turtledove, Karen Haber and Charles de Lint, among others. The story was reprinted in 2001's The Mammoth Book of Comic Fantasy (which also features stories by Neil Gaiman and Terry Jones) and A Blink of the Screen, a 2012 collection of Pterry's short fiction.The short film Troll Bridge by Snowgum Films was adapted for the screen and directed by Daniel Knight, and stars Don Bridges as Cohen, Glenn van Oosterom as the horse and John Jenkins as Mica. It was a mammoth undertaking, especially considering it's a fan film, albeit an extremely polished one: the cast and crew all worked without pay, with production costs paid for by a crowdfunding campaign on Kickstarter. It's currently screening in film festivals and fan conventions around the world, but you can still pre-order a digital,
