Martha Carr and Lasair (Queen of the Flightless Dragon #2) on Podcast Episode 208

This is the Books and Authors Fantasy and Sci-Fi Podcast Episode 208 with author Martha Carr.

Welcome to the latest episode of the Books and Authors Fantasy and Sci-Fi Podcast! Co-hosted by Jamie Davis and Scott Walker, this podcast is exactly what the title says it is: a show focused on SF&F books and the authors creating them!

We’ll cover Epic Fantasy, Urban Fantasy, Sword & Sorcery, and everything in between. Expect to find the best and brightest authors from all corners of the SF&F book world. Plus, we’ll add in a few other very special guests as well along the way.

Our guest this week is author Martha Carr (her author website is authormarthacarr.com, and she also has a site dedicated to her Kickstarter campaigns at marthacarr.com)!

“I started writing at 30 years old with a newborn and a fresh divorce. I had tried everything the way my family wanted me to do it – and I saw where that got me. I was a successful stockbroker who dreaded every day of work. I just couldn’t picture myself still in that chair at 60. Well… Here I am at 64 and boy, am I glad I walked away.

Sure, the money was tight for a long time but when I look back at the past 34 years here’s what I see: Stringer for the Washington Post, national columnist with 4 million readers a month, contributor to almost every major news outlet, co-creator of the Oriceran Universe, author of best-selling UF series, The Leira Chronicles – and now I’m hanging here on Kickstarter with great books full of adventure and a store of my own. I’m out here writing recess for all of us who want to find the courage to just be ourselves on any given day and want to make the most of it. Over and over again. More adventures to follow.”

If you love urban fantasy featuring strong female characters, humor, and dragons, the Queen of the Flightless Dragons series should be your next read! Check out the Kickstarter for Lasair and the exclusive
