We're back for 2023 (and with the account back under my own control - thanks, hackers...)!
Coming out of the gates strong with a review of the absolutely spellbinding 'The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue' - an unforgettable story about the world's most forgettable immortal: the devil's in the details with this one, and I wouldn't be surprised if it ends up on my best-reads-of-the-year list (big call for February, but  it's just that good!)

You can get a copy of 'The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue' right here: DEFINITELY a story that's worth your time.

And once you've done that, why not head over to the Talking Fiction Discord group? We chat about the things we've read and watched, as well as writing and editing.

Talk soon!

If you liked the sound of the Rarkyn's Familiar, don't miss out! You can grab a copy here.

And check out Nikky Lee's website for updates on Book Two of the Rarkyn series, as well as the other upcoming projects mentioned in the podcast!

Thor is back! He's gadding about the galaxy (for a hot second)! He's riding a pair of screaming goats (under-utilised)! He's having weird feelings around his ex while his axe is having weird feelings about his old weapon hanging around, being all sultry-like!
This is a very serious and normal movie!
So was Zeus correct? Is Love and Thunder simply a pale imitation following the lightning of Thor: Ragnorok? Or does it step up to the orgy and become MIGHTY? And just how many Marvel women with space boyfriends are going to wind up getting cancer? (should someone warn Mary-Jane?)

We want to hear what YOU think! Drop in on the Talking Fiction discord server, or reach out on Twitter. 

Talk soon!

Monsters and Madness and Magic, oh my! Today we're talking about who or what makes a monster in Nikky Lee's debut novel 'The Rarkyn's Familiar'. Spoiler alert: it's FANTASTIC; but is it the worldbuilding, the characters or the themes that elevate this first entry in the Rarkyn series? Let's find out!

And once you've listened to what I have to say, grab your own copy of 'The Rarkyn's Familiar' and continue the conversation on the Talking Fiction Discord server!

We're back with Aussie author extraordinaire Anthony O'Connor! A lot has changed for the author of "Straya" since the foul-mouthed, post-apocalyptic, mutants-with-a-heart-of-gold book hit shelves a year ago. Is there a sequel on the way? Or something even MORE exciting? Tune in and let Anthony tell you in his own words!

If you missed the previous discussion with Anthony O'Connor regarding his book Straya, you can find it here.

And you can find my review of the book here.

But most importantly, if you haven't yet read this fantastic, lyrical tale, you can grab your own copy right here!

Then hop along to the Talking Fiction Discord Server and tell us how excited you are about what's next for Straya.

Talk soon!

Marvel's Eternals has an incredible cast of beautiful people, interesting characters and a plot that... err... well... is trying to do a lot of things. Did departing from the Marvel Formula result in a 'too much, too soon' approach? Terry dives deep into what makes for a good build of scale in superhero movies and explores how Eternals holds up.
