A friend of the podcast, repeat guest, and fellow author, M. L. Lindsey, is launching a Kickstarter for her new fantasy series.
I've read a chunk of it. It's good. Like, "Don't miss this series or you'll regret it" kind of good.
If you can support her, please do. If you can't help out that way, please at least signal boost this amazing Indie!

A new episode is coming.

It rides atop a dark tide of digressions in a ship propelled by the force of our pop culture references. The abyss of questionable ideas slowly slides past beneath the sharp prow of our world-building asides.

It is unstoppable. We are inevitable.

And also vaguely tipsy...

Episode 23, 'What If: Water Water Everywhere...', will arrive tomorrow 8/30/23 on your favorite podcast platform.

What would happen if someone showed up claiming to be a god?

That's the question we tackle this week and it takes Derrick Hall, Author and Uniquely: Xtina to some wild places, including Star Wars (because of course it does) and a discussion of personal bias in fiction.

We also toe the line of acceptable family-friendly content, so buckle up, it's a doozy.

You can find the episode wherever you get your podcasts on 7/5/23!

Derrick Hall, Author is pushing hard to get his upcoming novel, Qetran Revival, into the top 100 on Amazon.

He's so close! If you haven't yet and are willing, please go drop him a preorder (maybe get the rest of his books too) and help push the book as high as it can go!

(There's even a rumor of a giveaway if he makes it!)

This week on What If: South is Up? Derrick Hall, Author and Uniquely: Xtina jump back in the saddle, but the horse is actually a blind house cat that does whatever it wants.

Here's a taste to tide you over until the full episode airs on 4/12!

The podcast is reaching critical mass[es] this week, though there aren't any nukes in sight. As authors heavily involved in critique groups, we decided to offer our own experiences with sharing work for critique and critiquing the work of others. Maybe you've never been involved in something like this before, and don't quite know what to expect, or perhaps you are wondering if your experience is 'normal'. In either case, come along as Derrick and Xtina offer their insight into the mysterious world of critique groups!

Episode 14 of the show is coming on Wednesday! Hot takes on The Mandalorian, excessive drinking, and forgetting how to words are the theme of the day.
