While Charlie frolics through England, author James L. Sutter (Co-creator of Pathfinder) hops on the podcast to talk about his new novel, DARK HEARTS. On the way, he and Caitlyn talk about queer identity, querying (no pun intended), adequacy, and more.

Secret: James wrote the podcast jingle for Brian McClellan's Page Break ;)

She's actually on vacation. Er, one of them is, but she took the podcast gremlin with her, so while no one is available to edit the podcast, Caitlyn will still be slaving away at her day job and recording next week's episode. Because she loves you the most.

Today's away notice brought to you by the gremlin, who was let out of her cage for a whole three minutes to record it.
