And our dorky little show is LIVE for our weekly #podcast recording.

Join us as we talk about geeky collectibles. What makes us collect? What do we collect? Why do we collect? What's that weird thing we collect?

Let's do it. Podcast time!!!

Cover of Queen Demon. Kai is dressed in a teal gold-trimmed coat over a long dark purple shirt, wearing a dark veil scattered with gold coins in his long dark hair. He's in motion, running or leaping toward the lower left corner of the cover.

I did a playlist for Queen Demon, which will be out Tuesday October 7 in hardcover, ebook and audiobook (narrated by Eric Mok). Published by Tor Books, edited by Lee Harris, cover art by Cynthia Sheppard, design by Christine Foltzer and Greg Collins.
