The July episode of The Virtual Memories Show<\/strong><\/em> is ready to go! This time around, you get two interviews for the price of one!<\/p>\n

During my June trip to Boston for the BIO annual meeting, I recorded conversations with Diana Renn<\/a>, a writer who just published her first book, a YA novel called Tokyo Heist<\/a>\"\", and Paul Di Filippo<\/a>, a science fiction writer and critic who’s celebrating his 30th year as a freelance writer.<\/p>\n

I thought of posting them as two separate podcasts, but it made more sense to have the perspectives of the first-time novelist and the life-time writer in a single episode. Diana has lots to say about working through the novel-writing process and how her history with comic books informs her, while Paul has a ton<\/em> to say about the current state of science fiction, how he carved out a role in it, what it’s like to be the “King of Steampunk,” the allure of Providence, RI, and whether he’d have taken an assignment for the Before Watchmen<\/em> series.<\/p>\n
