Episode 32: Freya Marske - ”One Version of Yourself, at the Speed of Light”

This time around, I'm joined by multiply-Hugo-nominated podcaster and author of the forthcoming novel, A Marvellous Light, Freya Marske (@freyamarske), thus completing the prophecy. Freya reads an excerpt of her story, "One Version of Yourself, at the Speed of Light," which leads us into a great discussion about using our day-job-expertise in our writing, the end of Be the Serpent, a hot take about historical fiction, and of course a lot of talk about fanfic.   Things we mention in this episode: Be the Serpent  Alexandra Rowland  Jennifer "Macey" Mace  Hurt/comfort  The Kingston Cycle, by C.
