Based on Russian history and folktales, DEATHLESS plunges the reader into worlds sometimes beautiful, often horrific, and always grimly fantastic.
Though iced over with a veneer of Sci Fi, this story boils down to a romance – part Darcy and Elizabeth’s delicious verbal fencing and part steamy bodice-ripper, all shadowed over with the looming efforts of doomed Mary Tudor to re-Catholicize England.
One of our favorite guests, the always gracious Lou Anders, Editorial Director of Pyr books, sat down with Shaun at WorldCon the morning of the Hugo Awards. If you’ve been living in a cave. . . . Lou won.

Though it takes place in an urban setting infused with magic, SECRET HISTORY OF MOSCOW is unlike any urban fantasy I’ve read. It’s strange, and drifty, and thoughtful. Sad. Dreamlike. In fact, the book is much like the Russian fairytales from which its author draws inspiration.
Writer and Blogger extraordinaire Nathan Bransford joins us to discuss his fiction, blogging, the impact of a book’s release on the author’s life, working as a literary agent, the pressures of publishing, and much more.
