In this episode, we take a look at the interesting relationship between magic systems and science with fantasy author Rachel Emma Shaw.

We also take a look at day to day life in the medieval period to provide you with ideas and inspiration for your worldbuilding and fantasy stories.

And I reveal the early results from my Book Blogger Survey, essential listening for anyone pitching to book reviewers and book bloggers right now.

Plus, I also have some news from the world of writing and our community announcements.
