In this episode, Jared (the author) and Chris (the narrator) of Children of the Cold Moon talk about the story and the process of making the book. They introduce the last four chapters of Part 1 of the book. You get to listen to chapters 31-34, without interruption. We hope you enjoy.

On his way across the wild, The Morrigan comes looking for Bren. Tensions are high in this second meeting, as she is coming fresh from the fight with Cai and Tethra. When she realizes that Bren is not her enemy, they make their way to Findrias and begin an excellent training montage.

In these two chapters Bren tries to outrun the Grey Man, encounters some difficulties traversing the terrain of Annwn, and gets a little help from a surprise companion. Here we meet Bren's new minion, a baby oilliphéist that Bren gets to name. Bren tries to lay down some ground rules, while not getting his face bit off.

After killing the huge oilliphéist, Bren and Ruadan go to the bank of the lake to lick their wounds. Some unexpected guests show up and offer Bren a choice. The unexpected guests happen to be Cai and Tethra. A major bombshell is dropped here before The Morrigan and Lugh show up to get back their stolen relic.

Join us as we talk to the author/narrator team of the Noobtown and Fifth Era Apocalypse series. We cover topics from the pop culture references in Noobtown to what the working title of book eight is. We even play a little game about the characters of Noobtown to see if the dynamic duo view the characters in the same light. Lastly, we learn about why there was a slight delay in Ryan's prolific publication schedule AND about Johnathan's new projects.

Note:

Since the recording of this podcast, our prediction about LitRPG has come true.

In this pair of chapters Ruadan and Bren go out into the wild to gain some experience. Ruadan takes Bren to the lair of Caoránach the Oilliphéist on Lough Dearg. Bren gets to fight what he calls a "Prehistoric Turd."

We start with a bar fight in this one, have a reunion with Fern, and get some marching orders from Brigid. And as Ruadan says at the end of the chapter, "Come on, Runt,” he said with his usual sly smile. “It’s time for a training montage.”

These are some of my favorite chapters of part 1. Ruadan hooks Bren up with some magic items from the Gorias treasure vault. And later that night, they make their way to the Lower City to frequent a non-so-friendly tavern called Unseelie.
