What a nice surprise! Charlaine Harris has read and truly enjoyed Adam-Troy Castro's EMISSARIES FROM THE DEAD.
"Castro’s world building is absolutely first rate, and his characters are fascinating. ... I truly admire the way this book is written. EMISSARIES FROM THE DEAD should be required reading for the aspiring science fiction writer."
Her full comments are here. Sample chapters of EMISSARIES are here.

Kim Harrison answered questions today on our very first episode of THE BEYOND--Check it out!
Lois McMaster Bujold did a terrific interview last week with KFAI ("Radio Without Boundaries"), out of Minneapolis/St.Paul. The show's archived here, though I think "archive" in this case has a relatively quick expiration date, so click through sooner rather than later!
The full show synposis is:
"Poet LouAnn Shepard Muhm joins us by phone to talk about her new collection of poetry, Breaking the Glass. She hails from Park Rapids, Minnesota, and she will be reading Saturday, August 23 at Magers and Quinn at 6 pm with Athena Kildegaard and Argie Margolis from Morris and Francine Sterle from the Duluth area.
In the second half of the show, Steve McEllistrem talks with award-winning science fiction and fantasy writer Lois McMaster Bujold. She discusses her newest book in the Sharing Knife series, Passage."
