The Science in Science Fiction

For Episode 147, we reveal the winner of the annual ugly Christmas sweater contest (hint: I win every year with the same sweater).

More importantly, we dive into the the technical details behind writing sequels. I've written three series, and I've started a fourth, and I wish I knew now what I didn't know when I did the first three. We cite "Star Wars" and "The Matrix."

For the second part of the podcast/broadcast, we talk about the "science" part of science fiction when it comes to creating our fictional universes. Sometimes the science creates a gap between your potential readership and your book. Examples discussed were "The Martian" and several "Star Trek" series.

Good stuff as usual for the independent writer. Please check us out at www.carsonhume.com and let us know what you think. TIA LYL!
