S&L Podcast - #93 - Interview with Andrew Mayne

Can't sleep yet. One new book that seemed to come out of nowhere is Dan Wells's (I Am Not A Serial Killer, Writing Excuses) Partials.
I recommend The Chronological Man series. I read the first one about a week ago because Amazon kept recommending it. Normally I am pretty wary of $0.99 books but it was fun. After hearing this interview I think that I will be keeping an eye out for Andrew's future work. I blame Sword and Laser for my ever expanding to-read list and my eventual bankruptcy from buying too many books. :)
From Wikipedia: "Cherryh (pronounced "Cherry") appended a silent "h" to her real name because her first editor, Donald A. Wollheim, felt that "Cherry" sounded too much like a romance writer. Her initials, C.J., were used to disguise the fact that she was female at a time when almost all science fiction authors were male." I'm glad we're past that era.
Love CJ Cherryh....enjoyed the interview!...
Also, 'Eyre Affair' rhymes--(Jane) Eyre, air, and heir all sound alike (in my midwestern accent). PS If you haven't read it, it's a great book--very metafictional alternate world, with cloned dodos, miniature mammoths, and Francis Bacon evangelists as part of the background.

I won't spoil anything but the first thing that popped into my head was a wedding of a certain color.
So....what's happening on March 20th? I got the impression, while T & V were discussing the end date for The Lies of Locke Lamora, that they needed to finish by the 19th because something was coming up....hmmm...All in all, a good show as usual. I feel bad, my mind kept wandering during the interview section. I'm not sure if that's related to my insane day at work yesterday, overnight, and now today, or if I just wasn't digging it. Not that it was bad, or that the guest seemed uninteresting...just that it wasn't grabbing me somehow. :(

At least we can hope they wont leave us hanging for 15 years....

Hmmm indeed....
I think they are going to expand 'what we are drinking' to 'what we are eating' GRRM style. The new podcast will be 2 hours long!
Well "War is coming!" so the GRRM section of the podcast will be back for sure.

Winter hasn't even come in the books yet right?
By the end of the last book it seems to be on its way
Rasputin wrote: "I won't spoil anything..."I'd have appreciated that sentence in spoiler tags. I'd say that a solid quarter of the club knows what you meant when you referred to a certain event in A Song of Ice And Fire; the books aren't some esoteric diamond-in-the-rough any more, if indeed they ever were.
Also,

That probably could have been in spoiler tags, too.

Well, to be fair, Martin kind of foreshadowed the hell out of that one.
