Coffee in Space

Dr. Garrett Ashley is a well-published short fiction writer who has stories in Asimov's Science Fiction, Analog Science Fiction and Fact, and Strange Horizons (online).
You can learn more about him and his work at his WEBSITE or on TWITTER.
We also talked about thriller stories, with Melinda Leigh's Bree Taggart taking center stage, as well as Laura Lippman's Baltimore Blues. I also recommend the great Maltese Falcon and other books of the noir genre.

Get ready for a great Season!

I thoroughly enjoyed talking with the two wonderful individuals who make up the writing name Calder Szewczak. Natasha Calder and Emma Szewczak were wonderful guests and it became clear very early on that they truly love and respect each other. Their combined efforts to create their setting, worldbuilding, and character shined through quickly as well. I think you'll enjoy the episode.
Like in previous episodes where I talked about faith, I'll add a quick disclaimer here that we delve fairly deep into climate change, climate fiction, and other related themes. It may not be your cup of tea depending, but I think you'll see that the conversation flows smoothly and is authentic and honest. Really, as a show host, that's what I always want the most.
Learn more about the UN Climate Change Conference HERE. In addition, Strange Horizons has a great review of the book.
