...before we change the name to Tilting at Windmills. On this episode, Chrys and Benjamin talk about their excitement about interviewing Chelsea Cain next week and try to talk Chuck Palahniuk and Lidia Yuknavitch into coming on the show. They discuss the idea of starting a hybrid press to help authors and kvetch about authors' reluctance to promote their own work. And Chrys celebrates getting her name on a second published novel for her blurb of The YOU WERE WARNED, Book 3 of THE CONVENTION OF FIENDS.
