The podcasts from the January BristolCon Fringe readings are now live. The guest readers were Désirée Fischer and Lou Morgan.

First up we have a couple of stories from Dés. This is the first time anyone other than her boyfriend had got a look at these stories, so I think she was very brave indeed. There’s talent there too.

Lou Morgan reads lovely story called “Her Heartbeat, An Echo” from Jurassic’s Egyptian-themed anthology, The Book of the Dead.

And finally we have the Q&A session. Lou and I discuss her influences (Dante, Milton, Beowulf), and why her Blood & Feathers books are popular with American soldiers. We also mention Gawain and the Green Knight. I talk to Dés about having the best job in the world (working for an SF bookstore), and about writing in a second language.

As usual, apologies about the sound quality. I do wish we had better tech kit that could cut out all of the background noise.

This month our readers will include the fabulous Snorri Kristjansson.
