Beggars and Brawlers Podcast

Our last preview chapter of the now available fourth book in the Tidecaller Chronicles! Plus some talk afterwards about what a fool I was to promise all the things I did in the first three books, and how it went against my very nature to make good on those promises rather than just flake on it. Fun stuff. 

To read how I made good on those promises (or listen), check: https://www.books2read.com/qobb

Another preview chapter from our Now Available Queen of Blood and Blasphemy! Plus some talk on the very weird point-of-view I used in this book, which is not the simple first ("I crouch down") the rest of the series has been in, nor really third person ("She crouches down"), but a bizarre in-between. Hope you enjoy the listen!

Excuse my geeky Andor quote title--I was going to do my usual soliloquoy thing this episode, where I waxed philosophical on how that wonderful Star Wars series makes us root for villains, and what that does to my heart and reader brain when they're also actively trying to hurt other people I'm rooting for... then decided to never soliloquoize again. More on that in the podcast. Plus, a No-Suck Guarantee.
