The Research Whore's Guide to World Building

[suzannemcleod]

Today I'd like to welcome my guest, Maria Zannini, the author of the wonderful Touch of Fire. She describes herself as writing spicy Science Fiction and Fantasy that titillate some and torment others and she's dead right on that score *g* So without any more intro I'll hand over to Maria ...

Touch of Fire sounds great, Maria. I'm away now to find out more.

Hi David, ToF does sound great :-) I've been waiting for it to come out in print ever since I read Maria's excerpt [I can't get on with e-books, I keep wanting to edit them for some strange reason ...] so I'm looking forward to reading it.

I bought the ebook last night and started reading it today.

It's very good!

[suzannemcleod]

I'm saving the print copy for my hols :-)

Utterly unrelated, but...

Your book came into work today! :D I haven't read it yet (I stupidly lent the uncorrected proof we got to a friend before having the chance to read it, boo) but it looks beeeautiful :)

[suzannemcleod]

Yay! Great to know it's out in the wild, thank you :-) [and kudos to my wonderful cover designer, Nick Castle]

[sachkii]

I shall look after it well, I promise ^_^;

[suzannemcleod]

Thank you :-)
