In this episode, we sit down with fantasy and sci-fi author, Rebecca Thorne. We cover a lot of fun stuff and dive into topics like 'Cozy Fantasy', and her Tomes and Tea series. We also look at her 5 Sentence Method for aspiring authors (also a great read) and find out how she uses her ADHD as a writing superpower. She is on a book tour this spring, so be sure to check out her site to see if she'll be at a bookstore near you! Link below.

On this episode of TFTB we review The Expanse - the whole series, by James S.A. Corey. We are big fans of these novels, and the show, so if you're into the Expanse, or happen to be Expanse-curious, this is the episode for you. We also challenge the idea that Mars is the best planetary neighbour for colonization, and circle back to Karl Schroeder's argument for Venus. We'll also share what other sci-fi books, comics, and shows that we're enjoying such as Dune Part 2 and G.I Joe . As always, hang on to the end to find out what our next book of the month is.

In this episode we review The Thousand Earths, by Stephen Baxter. This was an interesting book, but we're not in agreement on this one. On Science Fiction - Science Fact we look at bringing loved ones back from the dead using AI. If this sounds like a Black Mirror episode you'd be right. We also get into the book of the month, and we've got a pretty great pick for you this month.

On the show this week is science fiction legend, Joe Haldeman. If you read sci-fi, you've probably read, or at least heard of The Forever War. Perhaps the first anti-war science fiction book written by a veteran. Joe is one of the few authors to have won both the Hugo and Nebula awards, and he is also a lifetime member and past president of the Science Fiction and Fantasy Writers of America (SFWA). We talk about his friendship with Robert A. Heinlein, politics in sci-fi, and the evolution of the genre.
