The Dragonfire Podcast Nathan Klembara and James Dulin

We're back with our second SFINCS panel! Nathan flies solo today as he interviews Benjamin Aeveryn (Blackcap), Joao Silva (The Ruins of Smoke), Cara N Delaney (Dark Heart of Ilmoure), and Alan K Dell (The Re-Emergence).

SFINCS is the Speculative Fiction Indie Novella Championship, and its first ever year is drawing to a close this month. For this episode, James and Nathan are joined by three of this year's finalists - Cal Black, Angela Boord, and Jessica A McMinn - to talk about the competition, writing novellas, and more.

Stay tuned for our next episode where we will be talking to more of the finalists!

*Disclaimer: Nathan is the founder and co-organizer of SFINCS. Invitations to join us on our podcast were extended to all ten of the finalists. Nathan is not a judge for SFINCS and has no say in the final result.

Moses Ose Utomi returns to the podcast to talk about his sequel, The Truth of the Aleke - out now from tordotcom publishing!

James and Nathan are joined by Adrian Gibson, co-host of the SFFAddicts podcast and author of the upcoming fungal-noir Mushroom Blues, the first book in the Fungalverse. Adrian talks about his inspirations, advice for indie authors, and how he developed a soundtrack to accompany his book.

You can find Adrian at @adrianmgibson on Twitter and at his website, adrianmgibson.com.

Mushrrom Blues is set to be released on March 19 and is now available for preorder.

James and Nathan sit down with authors Krystle Matar and Michael R Fletcher to talk about their new podcast the Leaky...er...Dripping Bucket Podcast! This episode is as chaotic as it is insightful. Make sure to stick around to the end for a quick blooper!

And we are back! We are sorry for the long hiatus, but we have our first new episode of 2024.


James and Nathan talk about the bookish and SFF things that get left behind in 2023, from Goodreads to allowing Zack Snyder to write film scripts.
