Last November I took part in a panel discussing genre fiction in the digital age. We touched on whether genre fiction is more likely to thrive in a world of ebooks and podcasts. It was so long ago I don't particularly remember anything that was said, but I do remember enjoying myself immensely. Once I stopped sweating and shaking from nerves. (I'm pretty sure I spoke about both the Salmon and Dusk podcasts and my new book The Relic [out this August! Have I mentioned it lately?])
As a regular attendee of these talks I'm familiar with the deathless questions raised during post-session Q and As, but it was certainly a new experience being on the pointy end. As you'll see, the questions we faced were more than a little feisty.
