Boskone Preview Part 2: Fond Lee/Christopher Golden

Fonda Lee


In this episode of Citywide Blackout, we continue our pre-Boskone coverage. Boskone is an annual fantasy and science fiction book festival that I've attended for years and always have a blast at. It's happening this weekend, Feb. 15-17, and you can learn more at boskone.org.



First up, I talk to Portland, Oregon-based writer Fonda Lee about audiobooks and how to get the voices just right, her joy at writing fight scenes, and how to best prep for a convention like Boskone.






Next up, it's author Christopher Golden, known for his work not only with books, but also comics and television. He shares some behind-the-scenes info on what it means for a book to be optioned for film or television and talks about scenes that have been intense, even for him.

Plus, it's more new music! Michael Egleton, a Blues, Soul and Jazz artist from Akron, Ohio. He describes himself as a soulful sound with innovative techniques and style, and I can't argue with that. I'm playing “Behind These Walls” and “Situations” at both breaks.

Be sure to follow the show on Facebook under Citywide Blacout and Twitter and Instagram under Citywidemax. As always, keep those ears open.
