Talkcast 126: Tracy Hickman

• Poll:  Who are the best minions?
• Michael Bay swears he will not ruin Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles
• Doctor Who’s new companion
• Java, you want your fucking zombies? [SPOILERS for Walking Dead]

Tonight’s guest is author Tracy Hickman, a long-time friend of the show. He tells us about his upcoming novel Wayne of Gotham, which will be released on June 26. Wayne of Gotham explores the backstory of Thomas Wayne and Tracy hints that what we think we know about Batman’s father may not be the actual story.  We also discuss story structure, copyright, and his tips for new authors. If you want to learn those things from Tracy himself, you can sign up for his online writing course. He revealed during the show that in addition to the current offerings, he’s going to start giving live webinars.  Thanks to Tracy’s generosity, SFSN listeners can get a 20% discount on his Writer’s Course, an Annual Subscription to  the Live Webinars, or to the Ultimate Writer’s Course (which combines the Writer’s Course and the Live Webinar subscription).
