July 31, 2012 Posted by Dave Robison

The Roundtable Podcast, Workshop Episode 22, with Seanan McGuire and Gloria Sigountos Seanan McGuire is the full artistic package, the triple threat, expressing the keen edge of her spirit through paint, pixel and pen, producing web comics and other traditional art.  She commandeered a time machine exclusively for this podcast so she could actually have an hour to sit in the Big Chair and help us workshop a story. Our Guest Writer, Gloria Sigountos, serves up an fresh and innovative tale of kidnapping, intrigue, mercenary scoundrels, magical siblings, and general mayhem.  It’s a delightful frothing tale that launches everyone into an amazing discussion. Grab hold of something and hit that PLAY button! (and once you’ve recovered from this onslaught of awesomeness, check out Seanan’s Fabulous Showcase Episode!)
