Suvudu On Air

In this episode of Suvudu On Air, author Kirsten Imani Kasai and her brother read from her novel, ICE SONG.

Not familiar with ICE SONG? Prepare to be transported to a world where environmental degradation and genetic mutation run amok; humans have been distorted into animals and animal bodies cloak a wild humanity. But it is also a world of unexpected beauty and wonder, where kindness and love endure amid the ruins. Alluring, intense, and gorgeously rendered, ICE SONG is a remarkable debut by a fiercely original new writer.

In this episode of Suvudu On Air, we're taking you back in time and to a magical place of extraordinary weather, incredible sights and sounds, and, of course, zombies. Matt Staggs recorded the Reading With Brains panel, featuring some of the biggest and brightest names in zombie fiction (including crowd favorite, Max Brooks!). This panel got pretty lively--HA Ha...ha--and you'll want to sit back and listen as the panelists discuss:

- Fast vs. Slow Zombies
- Ripping off Romero
- and a funny, slightly off-color Crocodile Hunter reference (only Max, folks)

Braaaaains...

Naomi Novik's new Temeraire novel, Tongues of Serpents, goes on sale next Tuesday (7/13/10). Naomi dropped into the Del Rey offices last week and spoke with us about writing the series, which has expanded to six novels since we published His Majesty's Dragon back in 2006 and is now expected to run to nine novels total. What's involved in writing such an extended story? Find out in this interview.

Naomi Novik, author of the Temeraire series, stopped by Suvudu Studios recently to record a couple of interviews. She then made us an offer we couldn't refuse: if we were interested, she'd be willing to do a reading for us and our audience. How long do you think it took for us to say "YES!"?

Naomi gives a spirited reading of a section from Chapter 3 of Tongues of Serpents (which was posted to Suvudu as a free chapter sample earlier) and we're excited to be able to share it with you!

This segment of Suvudu On Air was recorded during a recent author event held at Borders Bookstore on Columbus Circle in New York City. You'll hear author Justin Cronin explain the genesis of this book, a quick summary and set-up for the chapter he's going to read (it's not the first chapter, but there are no spoilers here), and then gives you a free reading.
