In this episode, I chat with K. Gorman about her love of Asian History, the quality of and options for dictating stories, and the novel as an outlet for the darkness within. We also discuss her language disclaimers, the role of Canada in the future of humanity, and just how real might the characters we create be?

In addition, we go to a few dark places from the 59 minutes mark to 1:04, so tread carefully.

As usual, there's also The Lightning Round and The Big Questions.

Books of hers we discuss are: The Elemental Wars and The Eurynome Code.
