Book Club Choice #6 Author Q & A
Book Club Choice #6 Author Q & A Once again, we find ourselves sitting in a book-lined library, a crackling fire nearby (none of the books are on fire), a tray of lovely canapés nearby. I am sitting here with M C Pehrson and we’re here to talk about Matters of the Heart. Why the Original Series? I saw that you have a number of stories already, and this one is toward the middle.

Book Club Choice #5 Author Q & A
Book Club Choice #5 Author Q & A Once again, we find ourselves sitting in a book-lined library, a crackling fire nearby (none of the books are on fire), a tray of lovely canapés nearby. I am sitting here with Funngunner and we’re here to talk about Their Finest Hour: Fire and Rain, Part One and Their Finest Hour: Fire and Rain, Part Two. Why an Expanded Universe?
