Hello and welcome (back) to The Speakeasy!
This episode will introduce you to American Science Fiction author Suzanne Palmer, whose debut novel, "Finder" is Book 1 of The Finder Chronicles. As often happens, the conversation flow moved quite organically between many varied and yet interconnected ideas and themes, from specific writing projects and processes, to the ambiguity of life and the marvel that is creativity.
We certainly hope you enjoy listening to the show, as much as we enjoyed the conversation and recording this episode.
Several key names came up during our chat, and so I've highlighted them here in case anyone wanted to investigate further on their own. It's a good reference point, and I know will add something more to my TBR (to be read) pile at some point soon. Cheers!
