Manage episode 398453326 series 3501853
Hello, and welcome to Shining Moon Episode 27, Shared Visions: Writing with a co-author. With me today are writing partners Kathy Bailey and Kurt Pankau as well as Marie Brennan and Alyc Helms, who write together as M.A. Carrick. Let’s get started with some introductions!
Kathy Bailey writes romance, poetry, science fiction, and women's kaiju. She's currently working on a series of romance novels set in national parks. Before focusing on fiction, she was a newspaper reporter at the Oakland Tribune and San Francisco Examiner. She's also written three guidebooks about exploring the outdoors on foot and by bicycle. She currently lives in the American Midwest with three kids, two dogs, and one husband.
Marie Brennan is a former anthropologist and folklorist who shamelessly leans on her academic fields for inspiration. She recently misapplied her professors’ hard work to The Game of 100 Candles and the short novel Driftwood, along with over eighty short stories. As half of M.A. Carrick, she is also the author of the Rook and Rose epic fantasy trilogy, beginning with The Mask of Mirrors. For more information and social media, visit linktr.ee/swan_tower.
Alyc Helms prefers tea over all other beverages. They sometimes refer to their work as “critical theory fanfic,” which is a fancy way to say that they are obsessed with liminality, gender identity, and foxes (and tea!). They are the author of the Adventures of Mr. Mystic novels from Angry Robot and, as M.A. Carrick, the co-author (with Marie Brennan) of the Rook & Rose trilogy from Orbit Books.
Kurt Pankau is a professional computer whisperer who also moonlights as a sci-fi author, musician, and humorist. His short stories have appeared in such venues as Daily Science Fiction, Escape Pod, and Orson Scott Card's Intergalactic Medicine Show. He is the author of "High Noon on Phobos: A Blaze McGregor Adventure" and the creator of "Uncle Fluffy's Post-Apocalyptic Sing-Along." He lives in the Midwest, where he obsesses about board games and Zelda.
