Fiction: Impossible

On 5/19/2025, I joined C. S. E. Cooney and Carlos Hernandez for an episode of their Fiction: Impossible Twitch series. Our conversation began with a reading/interview from The Sign of the Dragon, followed by book and board game recommendations.

Here is a link to the recording. N.B. The main portion begins at 12 and a 1/2 minutes. [Before that there’s a section with chatter but no video.] I’m not certain how long this link will stay active.

Many thanks to Claire and Carlos, who are awesome!

Brandon O’Brien, Poet Laureate for the upcoming Seattle Worldcon, chatted with me about speculative poetry, for his Con-Verse blog for Worldcon.
