In this episode we sit down  with Kory Christensen - Kory is a patent attorney and an aspiring writer, who recently completed three novels of speculative fiction set in the San Francisco Bay Area.  His current project is a historical fiction novel, which takes place in renaissance Italy.

We listen to "Pebble in Time" originally published in F&SF, August 1970 and written  with Cynthia Goldstone.

Cynthia Goldstone was a highly regarded San Francisco artist. Ray Bradbury once wrote her a letter of appreciation. Cynthia and her late husband, artist Lou Goldstone, exhibited their work at many science fiction conventions, and were a much-loved couple in the Bay Area science fiction community.  Avram and the Goldstones were good friends in San Francisco during the lively 1960s and 1970s.

In this episode we sit down once again with Jack Seabrook -  The author of two books on popular fiction: Martians and Misplaced Clues: The Life and Work of Fredric Brown (1993) and Stealing Through Time: On the Writings of Jack Finney (2003).  He has had articles published in crime fiction magazines such as The Armchair Detective and he is a lifelong reader of comic books! Among other things he intends to educate the world to the joys of Alfred Hitchcock Presents and DC War and Horror comics.

We listen to "Thou Still Unravished Bride" originally published in EQMM,  October 1958.  I would also encourage you to watch the Alfred Hitchcock episode so you can compare and contrast the story and adaptation.
