Readers include Jeff Strand, Hank Early, David Powell, Andy Davidson, Nathan Ballingrud, Roger Johns, Emily Carpenter, Matt Weber, and Robert McCammon.
On this episode, David chats with fantasy and science fiction author Michael R. Fletcher.
Discussion includes topics like books (obviously), his inability to write YA fiction, why he doesn't have a grimdark moniker, and much more.
Michael's current works include:
Manifest Delusions Trilogy (Beyond Redemption, The Mirror's Truth, Swarm and Steel)
Smoke and Stone (City of Sacrifice #1)
Ghosts of Tomorrow
A Collection of Obsessions
The Millennial Manifesto
