Happy Valentine’s Day! 6th Season of The Artsy Raven Podcast has started!

#HappyValentinesDay ! Celebrating the start of the 6th season of the Artsy Raven podcast with Cynda’s Cookies! Our 126th episode features #filmmakers #NovaAmi and #VelcroRipper on #climatechange.

We are trying to commit to one podcast episode a week, but it’s hard. Depending on release dates of books or films, I’ve been dropping 2-3 episodes a week. Not very sustainable, so I need to learn to say “no” more!

Writing has been slow. Kraken child still sucking out all my energy daily…maybe when they go to university (years from now), things will be more quiet!

Building a complex world in The Shale

Recently I interviewed Sienna Tristen and Avi Silver on the Artsy Raven podcast. They are authors, editors and worldbuilders of The Shale Project, a complex fantasy world on the web. In the podcast they talk about how The Shale started off with a group of people contributing ideas to building this world, but some eventually left. It’s impressive in the vast amount of details written for every territory and reminds me of Tolkien’s worldbuilding!
