“Everything is terrible, but there’s so little most of us can do. I feel like fiction, reading and writing, is important right now.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Fantasy author Ilana Myer<\/a> checks in from eastern PA. We talk about cancelled travel plans, the virtual tour for her new book, The Poet King<\/a>\"\", what she learned in the course of finishing her Harp and Ring<\/em> trilogy, the difference between reading about the pandemic and living it, making the plunge into Wodehouse (and avoiding dystopian fiction), and more. Give it a listen!<\/a> And go read The Poet King<\/a>\"\" (after you read the first two novels in the trilogy, Last Song Before Night<\/a>\"\" and Fire Dance<\/a>\"\")!<\/p>\n
