| 0:00.0 | Hey all, Christian here. For today's bonus content, you're going to hear my co-creator Zach's interview |
| 0:05.3 | with Liz Karen, whose novel The Phantom Forest was published by Inkshares and is available now |
| 0:11.0 | wherever you get books. I was not there for this conversation, which is probably for the best, |
| 0:16.4 | as I would have had to fight both of them about Star Wars. Less Jedi is the best of the new Star Wars, and it's not even close. |
| 0:23.3 | But that travesty aside, it is a really interesting interview. |
| 0:27.2 | It touches on writing for different media, audience and genre expectations, and the afterlife. |
| 0:32.2 | I think you'll really enjoy it. |
| 0:33.6 | One heads up, we did have a bit of a tech snafu on Zach's end. |
| 0:37.2 | His audio is still very much |
| 0:38.6 | listenable, intelligible. It's just rougher than we'd like, so sorry about that. Luckily, |
| 0:43.9 | Liz's audio sounds fantastic. Okay, I will be back once more in the middle of the episode, |
| 0:49.2 | but that will probably be the last time I talked to you in 2019, so I want to wish all of you |
| 0:53.7 | a wonderful |
| 0:54.4 | holiday season and a happy new year. We're going to be hard at work on Chapter 7 in 2020, |
| 0:59.4 | and we will let you know how that's coming along as soon as we have something to announce. |
| 1:03.2 | But for now, enjoy Zach's interview with author Liz Carrick. Hi everyone and welcome. |
| 1:19.9 | Today we're lucky enough to be joined for an interview with Liz Karen, the author of the new book, The Phantom Forest. |
| 1:25.0 | Liz, welcome. |
| 1:26.2 | Hi, thanks so much for having me. We're so happy to have you here. Your book, The Phantom Forest. Liz, welcome. Hi, thanks so much for having me. We're so |
| 1:28.7 | happy to have you here. Your book, The Phantom Forest, it's a story about the afterlife and a hero, |
| 1:35.4 | finding their hero's journey. Why don't you tell us about it yourself a little bit? Yeah, okay. |
| 1:40.9 | So the Phantom Forest is a Y.A. dystopian fantasy that takes place in this post-apocalyptic world that's inhabited by mystical spirits, where a young woman is offered up in a human sacrifice ritual and vows revenge on her killer from beyond the grave. |
