Fictitious is not currently conducting interviews. If you've received an email claiming to be from me about Fictitious, it's a scam. Please see my thread below:

Luminous Dead is one of my absolute favorites! And, yeah, the back catalog is fairly extensive. I just had to dig through it (for boring technical reasons) and the show's style and sound has evolved a lot over the years. Some of the early episodes feel quite a bit different in tone and delivery.

New Episode: Caitlin Starling ( @cstarling.bsky.social ) returns to Fictitious. We talk about her new sci-fi thriller, LAST TO LEAVE THE ROOM, writing "unlikeable" characters, creating surreal scenes, and using a "load-bearing cat" in her narrative. Listen: www.fictitiouspodcast.com/last-to-leav...

Author Caitlin Starling (brunette woman with wavy hair, glasses, and tattoos) is shown next to the book cover for Last to Leave the Room. The cover shows a woman sitting at the bottom of a set of stairs in a large liminal space, surrounded by eight other versions of herself.

New Episode: Cassandra Khaw & @richardkadrey.bsky.social talk about their new collaboration, THE DEAD TAKE THE A TRAIN. We dig into their co-authoring process for the horror-infused urban fantasy they describe as "a Rom-Com with entrails—LOTS of entrails". www.fictitiouspodcast.com/cassanda-kha...

Authors Cassandra Khaw and Richard Kadrey are depicted on a vivid colored background, next to the cover art for their novel The Dead Take the A Train.

Received this lovely comment on my Martha Wells interview today. I'm currently muddling through a case of Covid (my first time, yay) but this really brightened my afternoon. I had such a great conversation with Martha about MurderBot, so glad people enjoy it.

Screenshot of a YouTube comment by user @samk5396 that reads: "I loved your interview. The fact you let her speak and that you're into the book and 'get' it. And that you make a point to use 'it' to gender murderbot correctly. You can just tell hearing the interview that she's more comfortable here than I've seen in others, and I think it's at least partly due to the respect you give. Loved getting to hear more from her and gaining more depth to an amazing series!"

Just occurred to me that I have not shared my interview with @mattfnwallace.bsky.social on Bluesky yet. Doh! Listen to our conversation about his SAVAGE REBELLION trilogy, writing process, a weird few years in publishing, and more! ficpod.link/wallace

Author Matt Wallace is depicted next to the covers of two of his books, SAVAGE CROWNS and SAVAGE BOUNTY.

New episode! I talk with author Greta Kelly about her fantasy novel, THE QUEEN OF DAYS. We discuss its NaNoWriMo origin, developing a tightly-contained setting, and maintaining emotion in a fast-paced heist story. www.fictitiouspodcast.com/greta-kel…

Thanks! Yeah, I took a break that was supposed to be about 3-6 months... ended up being a 2 year hiatus. The last couple of years were just *a lot*. But the show is back, I'm doing interviews again, and we are launching a sister-site for book reviews/news/more in the next week!
