Why would an author lock up her Switch gaming station? What is fanfiction? Where do we access free original sci fi podcast magazines? And which publications purchase short stories from authors? Mur Lafferty, our first guest author of Science Fiction and Fantasy, answers these questions, and offers keen insight into these worlds and genres. We learn about free science fiction and other original works available in podcast format by our guest, and through EscapeArtists.net. She also clues us into the backstory of her Star Wars books, short stories, novels, serials, and podcasts! An award-winning author, writer and podcaster, you will enjoy learning about her work, writing tricks, and perspective!
