AISFP 136 – Bryan Thomas Schmidt

This episode is brought to you by MAYAN DECEMBER, the exciting new science fiction novel from Brenda Cooper.

Dr. Alice Cameron is a famous scientist devoted to studying ancient Mayan culture. In December 2012 she finds herself on the Yucatan Peninsula with her daughter, Nixie, fellow scholars, end of the world crazies, and even the President of the United States. It all sounds wonderful until Nixie disappears into the past. Featuring a handsome dreadlocked time-traveler, an ancient shamam, a high ranking Mayan couple, a computer nerd, and an eleven year old child, Alice must traverse the past in a search for the meaning of life and a way to save two worlds.

You can follow Brenda on Twitter, and please tell her Adventures in Scifi Publishing sent you!

  1. Shaun, Moses and Brent, thanks for doing this. Brent, it appears I totally misunderstood your question about fans’ reaction to the chat. We have several regulars, including pro writers like Patty Jansen and Jason Sanford and James Enge who are there weekly to ask questions and participate. Lots of up and coming writers and bloggers as well. Fans have been supportive and encouraging and gotten involved. They get a lot of chances to win free books, network with authors and even help pick future guests. It’s really something we do for the community, and in December, our one year anniversary month, we’ll be having a chat dedicated to those regulars and talking about their writing adventures.

  2. Just wanted to clarify that because it sounded as if I was making the chat about recruiting fans for me and my book and it’s not about that AT all. It’s about serving the SFF community. The fact that some of the other does occur is a blessing and bonus but not something I actively seek out.
