This story is dedicated to Joel Robinson. Who served in the military both as a physician and medical director until his retirement in 2020. Joel supported New Century and School of Movies generously on Patreon for years, until his sudden unexpected passing not long after retirement. Joel, this book is about healing, and we will never forget you.

WARNING: Yet again, full Spoilers for Uncivil outlaw (And a lot of other New century stories).

The third of three making-of sessions. There's talk of managing the comedy and drama, and events in the real world having a transformative effect on the events of the fictional, as we look to an uncertain future. Plus I get to air some Easter Eggs and treasures from the creative process. This is one to stick around all the way to the end for.

WARNING: Again, full Spoilers for Uncivil outlaw (And a lot of other New century stories).

The second of three making-of sessions where we discuss such things as Wight's thinking, the maajikal restrictions on the story and why Yagana might be so goddamn scary.

WARNING: Full Spoilers for Uncivil outlaw (And a lot of other New century stories)

This is the first of three recoded sessions where Sharon and I talk about how Uncivil Outlaw was put together. What was planned for years and what emerged organically during production. Stick around for much talk of the music, and for the first salvo of Uncivil Outtakes.

We return for the second salvo of questions from Greg Downing and Toby Jungius. You'll find out what being an editor has entailed for Sharon, how I handle character death long-term and my approach to representation of sexuality.

As well as this there's more outtakes at the end and a fairly moving wrap-up. 

These Q&A sessions will return soon, after the next production wraps. 

After the fun but chaotic round-table with the cast I decided that we could get to greater depths on SteamHeart and Phase 1. 

So I brought in two avid listeners and readers to come up with a bunch of questions for Sharon and I, none of which I had influence over, to see what shook out. And we weren't disappointed. Greg Downing and Toby Jungius were more than up to the task of challenging us to think about our creative process, and hopefully we will get to record more Q&A sessions in the future. 

Major spoilers for SteamHeart!

This is a gathering of the main cast of New Century (all together in one place for the first time in a long while). We take this opportunity to answer some of your questions about SteamHeart, some silly, some serious and share some insight to the creative process.

This is one of three SteamHeart features, the other two being a Q&A session with just Sharon and I, and the original table-read when I detailed for the cast what would be happening in our eighth book, recorded WAYYY back in very early 2017. 

This is the first making of type show that we've done since The Princess Thieves wrapped, principally because I realised our Behind the Whitescarves discussions were so rich and detailed that they did most of the work of the reader. I was producing dense texts and then explaining them to you.

That's not a dynamic which makes for a massively successful author/reader relationship. So from now on these shows will be much shorter and more like fun get-togethers with the cast where we answer your questions. It gives you a taste of the depths available but the rest we leave to you. 

Plus you can get the complete lowdown here about the upcoming Definitive Edition of Secret Rooms. 

Guests: Sharon Shaw, Theo Leigh, Laureta Sela, Spencer Leeb and Maureen Foley.
