Welcome back to the Rocket Talk podcast!

Fran Wilde, author of Updraft, joins the show this week. Of course, Justin asks her about feast scenes. They also talk about Nature magazine, her editorial process, and debut novel. There’s even a borderline engineering talk, in which Wilde confirms intellectual superiority over the host.

Fran Wilde is an author and technology consultant. Her first novel, Updraft, was released by Tor on September 1—read an excerpt here! Her short stories have appeared in publications including Asimov’s, Beneath Ceaseless Skies, Nature, and Tor.com. Her interview series Cooking the Books—about the intersection between food and fiction—has appeared at Strange Horizons and on her blog. You can find her on Twitter @fran_wilde and Facebook @franwildewrites.
