Outback Spirit by Nicole R. Taylor
Opal, snakes, and supernatural beings. In Outback Australia, there’s more than one thing that’ll kill you…and it’s not entirely human. Welcome to Solace, Outback Australia, where deep underneath the iconic red earth, lies more than glittering opal.
Pirates of the Galactic Empire by Brian K. Larson
It's the year 3245. Earth's Republic evolved into the Galactic Empire. After the outpost wars, the Galactic Space Force became the peacekeepers. Up from the ashes rose rogue pilots. These pilots became the Pirates of the Galactic Empire.
Death Warmed Over by Kevin J Anderson
Ever since the Big Uneasy unleashed vampires, werewolves, and other undead denizens on the world, it's been hell being a detective—especially for zombie PI Dan Chambeaux.
Taking on the creepiest of cases in the Unnatural Quarter with a human lawyer for a partner and a ghost for a girlfriend, Chambeaux redefines "dead on arrival." But just because he was murdered doesn't mean he'd leave his clients in the lurch. Besides, zombies are so good at lurching.

Ryan - ItalianSpartacus - and I meet up to chat content creation, the shift in gaming over the years, and the value of discipline in lockdown and every day life.
Also he hates coffee, but you'll note I didn't immediately switch off the podcast (just means more coffee for me). Happy listening!
