Main Topic: Tanvi Berwah, “Monsters Born and Made”

Tanvi talks about her new novel, the Indian & Arabic myths her story’s monsters are based on, exploring biases and caste and class discriminations through the characters & the story, and more.

Station Eternity Mini Audio Drama Live, Oct 1!

The book comes out October 4th, but you can get a peek into the world of Station Eternity on the evening of October 1, when some of my friends and I get together to do a live audio drama of the first few chapters of Station Eternity!

We will be live on Twitch, Saturday night at 7 PM Eastern, and then the video will be uploaded to YouTube.

This will not be a full audio drama, I just wanted to do some fun promo with friends. This stream features popular variety streamer Brian Gray, stars of the Blittle League live RPG Joey T Badger, Marissa Farmer, Bridget Copes, and John Serpico, familiar voices from my podcasts John Cmar and Numbersninja, and audiobook narrator and voice actor Amanda Berry stars as Mallory!

Hope to see you there live on Saturday, October 1! And be sure to preorder your copy for launch day, October 4!

(My inspiration comes from the Princess Bride reunion live table read from 2020)
