What this episode covers

Kristi Charish In this episode we talk about opening back up of conventions, Northeast Comicon, Gay Somers, Blind Boxes. The blind box analogy referred to Kristi Charish and her newest book, Owl and the Japanese Circus which is book four in the Owl series and really just dumped Commander Cam and I into this wonderful universe of hers. So….we spent the rest of the interview talking about her “Owl” universe, where it came from and where it is going. The universe is, in concept, both scientifically accurate with more than a tinge of supernatural intrigue. Kristi’s writing style is both intense and whimsical which makes for a very relaxed thrill ride (if that isn’t a bit oxymoronic). The book was fun to read, the interview was very enjoyable for us.Hope it is for you as well. http://www.scifisaturdaynight.com/podcast/talkcast490.mp3Download | Open Player in New Window
