The Sword and Laser discussion

New episode is up!

Really enjoyed this interview, hope you do too!

My favorite tool listing books in series is Fantastic Fiction, which my local public librarian showed me. That's how we figured out what book preceded The Waters Rising by Sheri Tepper since it had been over a decade and it wasnt listed anywhere on the book!

GoodReads has started to be better about series too. I've noticed I can plug a series name into the search and it lists them in order... At least the few I've tried.

Dance with Dragons just arrived. It's as big as a brick.

Jenny thanks for that link it is awesome!

If this was google plus, I would +1 this interview.

Same here, great interview guys.

Tom may be horrified to hear this given his fastidious trawling of the Dark Tower canon, but I read 'Wolves of the Calla' first, and then finished books six and seven before reading books one through four.

That's pretty much the only time I've read a series out of order, save, perhaps, that one really boring Narnia novel that I had to skip — I think it was 'The Horse and His Boy.'

Like this podcast! Sword and laser plus interview is good stuff. Thanks to our overlords (grovel,grovel). Hope there is more soon and there isn't a long break to watch dragons dancing...

Thank you for not tamahoming my name.

Excellent interview, and I got two mentions for the same post! Now for those dancing dragons...

Tom and Veronica, a couple of notes on DragonCon. While it has been held on other dates in the past, going forward it's every year on Labor Day weekend (which you got correct). This year will be its 24th year (which you were a bit off on), so we're going strong.

I'm also very glad to hear this is your favorite convention. Seeing your names on the guest list these past years has made me quite happy and only increased my enjoyment while attending the convention.
