Tales From The Trunk

This time around, my guest is friend and co-host of the podcast, We Make Books, R. J. Theodore (@bittybittyzap)! Rekka reads an excerpt from the third book of her Peridot Shift series, Cast Off, which leads us into a great conversation about what can happen when your publisher closes its doors, murderboarding for fun and profit, and the things that we love so dearly about steampunk.   Things we mention in this episode: Parvus Press  Master and Commander, by Patrick O'Brian Steampunk  Space elves discourse (I believe the discourse came from this) Ever Given  Sarah Pinsker  Gideon the Ninth, by Tamsyn Muir Jennifer "Macey" Mace's Murderboard Method, on We Make Books C.
