A while back, Josh suggested I read The Emperor’s Blades by Brian Staveley and told me it was a great book. I, of course, responded by snapping up a copy with my Audible.com subscription and placing it in my digital to read stack. When the time came to read it, I was immediately hooked. The story sings from the first line and the narrator is Simon Vance, one of the best in the voice acting business in my opinion.

So, great, you say. We like Brian Staveley.

Why should we listen to this episode? What is in it for us?

Staveley does an excellent job telling us about his story world without spoilers, and better yet, reads one of his first query letters (which eventually earned the attention of Tor Books, his publisher). That right there is a first for the show; a best selling author reads his actual query letter on Live with Keystroke Medium.

There are great stories about living and writing in Thailand. He talks about working with agents, editors, and one expert beta reader (his wife) who keeps giving him great ideas. There’s more, but it might be better to just check out this very special episode.

If you would like to go backstage (so to speak) to Brian Staveley’s epic fantasy series Chronicle of the Unhewn Throne series and his upcoming prequel novel, Skullsworn, now’s your chance.

Podcasting is a blast, especially when you get to talk about breakout dystopian novels (The Moon Dwellers) and epic fantasy (Fatemarked). What do these books have in common?

David Estes.

With about thirty books, Estes covers a variety of story ideas and genres. Josh and Scott asked him to talk about his books. What followed next was a whirlwind interview that covered everything from what Estes writes, how he writes it, and what comes next. Many people will already know him from the Moon Dwellers series which has been compared to the Hunger Games, Divergent, and Maze Runner.

By the end of the interview, the show hosts drew Estes into a powerful discussion about the Fatemarked series and the publication schedule.

Most of all, everyone, including the guests in the live chat, had a great time.
