Aliette sheds some light on the various reasons to write in the first person and some of the downfalls. Don't forget to pick up her Blood and Obsidian omnibus now! Then Ben and Guillermo talk about what they always talk about: Batman. Enjoy...Write!

Once again Aliette takes some time out of her life to talk to Ben and Guillermo (www.aliettedebodard.com). This time about some of the interesting aspects of Aztec culture and how to integrate historical culture with fantasy. Then the boys discuss a topic very near and dear to their hearts (hint: it's Gay Bigfoot). Enjoy, and write!

Aliette de Bodard (aliettedebodard.com) is an amazing author and just delightful during this whole interview. She talks to the boys about her books (the Obsidian and Blood trilogy), inspiration, Short stories and blurring the line between fantasy and sci-fi (follow her on Twitter: @aliettedb). Speaking of technical difficulties: this episode really should have been heavily edited, but Ben doesn't believe in editing so...(Listen closely at the 39:26 mark to hear Ben's son roar loud enough to be picked up by the mic.) Enjoy, and write!

For this month's interlude, Bryan swings by for a stop on the blog tour for his new book, The Returning (the sequel to The Worker Prince). We discuss writing sequels, using pseudonyms, Peter Mayhew, and gay Bigfoot (don't ask). Find Bryan here: BryanThomasSchmidt.net. Write!

Rachel stops by one last time to discuss blorging (that's what we're calling it now). The guys find fun ways to get her off the topic and hilarity ensues. Then Ben and Guillermo talk about stuff...nothing special, just stuff. Enjoy the episode, and HUGE thanks to Rachel Aaron for being our guest this month (RachelAaron.net and on Twitter: @Rachel_Aaron). Write!
