We begin, for some reason, by discussing Mary Poppins. Thankfully, we move swiftly on.

We discuss our current writing projects.

We move on to talking about the nature of reviews and bullying and the phenomenon that is Stop The Goodreads Bullies. We talk about what bullying really is and whether bullying the so-called bullies is doing any good or just more harm.

We talk about the nature of reviews and pleasing everyone.

We look briefly at Neil Gaiman and discuss the review spread on some of his work. This leads us to talk about how some poor reviews are based on things other than the actual book. We check in on a few of George R R Martin’s one-star reviews.

We go on to talk about Terry Goodkind’s newly self-published ebook and how successfully its taken off. We discuss briefly the hybrid model of publishing that is becoming more and more mainstream. However, we then talk about how Terry Goodkind publically called out a pirate of his new ebook and posted the person’s personal information online. .
