When Aethon Books bought SLAY Book I, they wanted more story. 

More story! 

Well, they got a couple of girthons put right in their eye. How y’all like me now!

SLAY co-author Rob Otto joins us to talk about the process of taking a 108,000-word podcast novel to 160,000 words for the full book release.

What did we add? What did we cut? How did we do it?

We'll answer those questions and more, along with any you post in the chat room.
