Podcast/NerdyGirl/Ayr/Edinburgh

I was a guest of a podcast. Not any old podcast, but a Brewgooders podcast; one that chats about beer and comics. I spoke with Geoff, Colin, Andrew and Dave and as you might expect there was lots of random chat. I even managed to combine the two, beer and comics, by asking what’s the connection with the beer Schiehallion and one of my stories? All is revealed here:

and all those other places where podcasts are available.

In other news, there is more love for Savant, this time from Katherine Kleffner of TheNerdyGirlExpress. In her review, commenting on the lead character, she says, ‘I love her character design and honestly kept wondering how she would look translated to the screen.’

You and me both Katherine 😊 You can read the whole review here:
