Episode 127 of Speculate! — Roundtable Discussion with Brian McClellan and Myke Cole
Summary: <br> Welcome to Episode 127 of Speculate! The Podcast for Writers, Readers and Fans. In this episode, we talk fantasy, military, and writing business with authors (and former Speculate guests) <a href="http://www.brianmcclellan.com/">Brian McClellan</a> and <a href="http://mykecole.com/">Myke Cole</a> as we look at writing trilogies, what a civilian author does or doesn’t “owe” to a military person when writing fantasy with a military slant, and what engages and excites Brian and Myke (and what doesn’t) about the business–and why they’re so excited about their new books, <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0316219126/ref=as_li_qf_sp_asin_il_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=9325&creativeASIN=0316219126&linkCode=as2&tag=wwwbrianmccle-20&linkId=GXLWSALNEDA56436">The Autumn Republic</a> and <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Gemini-Cell-Shadow-Ops-Novel/dp/0425269647/ref=sr_1_1_title_0_main?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1412294494&sr=1-1&keywords=GEMINI+CELL">Gemini Cell</a>, respectively.
