Tonight’s guests are Tee Morris and Philippa Ballentine, co-authors of Ministry of Peculiar Occurrences–the best selling, award winning steampunk series–which also includes digital short stories and a free award winning podcast series. After the success of the Ministry, and to keep their fans going until the next novel comes out, they’ve also started a Kickstarter called The Ministry Initiative. This will fund two related projects: a short story anthology and an RPG. And as if that weren’t enough, we also talk about Archer, librarians vs. archivists,  and why NO ONE has control of the sound board after tonight.

Tonight’s returning guest is author H P Mallory. She talks about book one in her new Lily Harper  series, Better Off Dead and why this is different from anything she has ever written. This new series is a modern retelling of Dante’s Inferno, with an unlikely cast of characters that include a recently and “wrongly” deceased person, a Guardian Angel with some less than angelic habits and an incomprehensible Scotsman. We also talk about H P’s use of social media and her stalwart fan base.
