Anne Lyle

Anne Lyle has crafted a lush and intricate historical fantasy thriller – “The Alchemist of Souls” – which is (thankfully) only the first in a trilogy published by Angry Robot Books. As much as we hated to take her away from her writing, she graciously agreed to join myself and the inestimable Doc Coleman (filling in for Brion) in a marvelous discussion of crafting other races, the practical use of deleted scenes, theatrical influences, and the nature of Speculative Fiction. Join us… there’s plenty of chairs. (and DO check out Anne’s Workshop Episode!)

Workshop Episode 12 (Guest Host: Lee Harris)

May 22, 2012 Posted by Dave Robison

The Roundtable Podcast, Workshop Episode 12, with Lee Harris and Kevin McLaughlinLee Harris – editor at Angry Robot Books and Chair of the British Fantasy Society -  returns to the Roundtable to discuss a sci-fi/romance presented by author and blogger Kevin O. McLaughlin.  Having two experienced literati on the show really kicked the discussion into high gear and we cover a lot of ground, exploring the logistics of moonbases and deadly plagues, romance in the depths of space, and ratcheting up the tension (and Lee’s Showcase Episode is out there, too! Just saying…)

We had hoped that Lee Harris - editor at Angry Robot Books, Chair of the British Fantasy Society, and evil genius behind the Hub Fiction E-Zine – would lend a bit of dignity to the Roundtable.  We were wrong, but in the most wonderful and delightful way imaginable.  While he shares generously of his broad experience and vital insights into the realm of genre fiction, it turns out that he’s a warm, funny, sometimes snarky, and always charming guy.  Who knew? (be sure to check out Lee’s Workshop Episode)!
