No, it is not a new Temeraire novel (though one is apparently in the works). It is a new podcast, or rather a squeecast, because that’s what it is called. SF Squeecast is a new podcast series in which a group of authors get together and go “Squee!!!” about books they have read that make them happy. Those responsible are:
- Elizabeth Bear
- Paul Cornell
- Seanan McGuire
- Catherynne M. Valente
Order of a sort will be maintained by Lynne M. Thomas, best known as a co-editor of the Hugo-nominated Chicks Dig Time Lords. For further details keep an eye on the official website (though it appears to be offline as I type — see Tor.com for proof that I haven’t imagined this).
Um, squeeeee!!!!!!!
What a nice idea! 😀
The website’s back up now.
Love it! I am *right this minute* trying to get my author friends to let me know of good novels they’ve read and enjoyed (for an imminent period of R&R).
I gave up asking them to pimp themselves. Way too British to do so (even the USAians).
@MEG: I’ve glommed onto several good things by reading http://www.annathepiper.org. She’s a voracious reader, and reviews or at least picoreviews most of what she reads.
Interesting, four of the five podcasters are women! There is a lot right with this.
