Blades and Blasters….

Blades and Blasters is three Vets sitting around hashing through reading, writing, and pop culture – in this case, two vets.

A week or so ago, I had the pleasure of sitting in with JR Handley (one of the three), for a chat about my book (The Tunguska Deception) and writing in general. As it turns out, a whole lot of other things. JR and I share a similar academic background, personal interest in history, and being veterans and avid science fiction readers. We seemed like we kept sweeping back around to alternate history and the definition of spec fiction. We decided I’ll have to come back and we’ll have to go through those a bit further — which I will happily do.

Apparently, I’m now Rick Shaw Alien Overlord…. Have a listen.

You can find it on Spotify, Rumble, Bitchute, YouTube, and just about anywhere you find your podcasts. We had a good time.
