202. Brian Trent from winner to published author of "Red Space Rising"

Brian Trent, who I originally met almost 10 years ago when he was a Writers of the Future winner, published in volume 29 with his story “War Hero.” His work appears in the New York Times bestselling Black Tide Rising series, Weird World War series, Analog Science Fiction, Fact, The Magazine of Fantasy & Science Fiction, The Year’s Best Military and Adventure SF, Escape Pod, Galaxy’s Edge, and in 2019 he was the winner of Baen Books’ Readers’ Choice Award. A lot of water has passed under the bridge since we met back in 2013. He just published a fantastic novel that I read in preparation for this podcast, “Red Space Rising.” It was based on his winning Writers of the Future short story, which we discuss. https://briantrent.com/
