Today’s episode brings you an interview with Science Fiction author Lee Schneider!

His Utopia Engine trilogy certainly sounds interesting, but check out his website at futurex.studio and you’ll see he does a lot more than that, including multiple podcasts of his own.

Today, Lee shares his journey as a writer, starting with short stories and progressing through careers in playwriting, film, television, and now speculative fiction. The Utopia Engine explores a future dominated by AI controlling climate, banking, and daily life, juxtaposed with a rebellion of human-led communities. Lee emphasizes themes of optimism within dystopian settings, highlighting humanity’s resilience and adaptability.

We also delve into writing challenges, the role of hope in storytelling, the societal impacts of AI, and the necessity of environmental stewardship.

Today’s episode brings you an interview with Fantasy author Karyne Norton!

Karyne’s Epic Fantasy series, The Half-Light Chronicles, started off with Blood of the Stars in March of this year and will continue with Salt in the Seas next spring. She is currently–but not for much longer!–running a Kickstarter campaign for that book. Judging by the fact that while I type this it is sitting at 3,500% of its funding goal, it’s worth checking out! (See links below.)

Also, make sure you stop by her website to sign up for her newsletter and receive free short stories and be keyed in for all her updates.

By the way, Karyne is also a podcaster who hosts and reads Fantasy short stories in the Finding Fantasy Reads podcast. I can say personally that it’s definitely worth checking out; it’s actually how I discovered her and decided to invite her on the Grendhill Chronicles Podcast. You can search for “Finding Fantasy Reads” in your podcast app, or follow the link included below!

Salt in the Seas Kickstarter campaign: www.kickstarter.com/projects/karynenorton/salt-in-the-seas

The author’s website: www.karynenorton.com

Finding Fantasy Reads podcast: www.findingfantasyreads.com/

And we mention this Facebook group during the interview: Kickstarter for Authors
