#70 - Going Noir with Shami Stovall and Time-Marked Warlock

Hey hey everyone!If you don't know who Shami Stovall is, you're a bit late to the Party.Shami has been writing LitRPG for a long time now, and she's bloody good at it. Her latest book, Time marked Warlock, I have enjoyed a crapton, not to mention her earlier work, Half-Life Empire!She was great to talk to, and we spent a lot of time talking about how Romance is formulaic, but also why there aren't more female readers and writers of LitRPG. Seriously, I think this has been one of the most insightful episodes yet.-----------------------------------------We have our own website now!
