Gail Martin   Epic Fantasy, Urban Fantasy and More

In today’s episode, we meet Gail Martin, a prolific author of epic fantasy, urban fantasy and steampunk genres, among others, and we visit four of her strange worlds. 

Gail has always loved ghost stories, vampires, werewolves, haunted houses and things that go bump in the night. Her books have necromancers, powerful witches and spirit mediums, plenty of vengeful ghosts, creepy castles, curses, magic and monsters. That’s what she loves to read, and what she really enjoys writing.

We get a glimpse into four books in four different series: “Wasteland Marshalls (Book 1),” “The Joe Mack Shadow Council Files (Cauldron, Book 1),” “Spells, Salt and Steel (Night Moves)” and “Assassin’s Honor (Assassins of Landria, Book 1).” 

Gail starts the show with a reading from “Wasteland Marshalls,” a story where the last two US Marshals mete out rough justice in a near-future, post-apocalyptic world. Think ‘Boondock Saints meets The Walking Dead’.

Gabino Iglesias (Coyote Songs) & Josh Malerman (Bird Box) IN CONVERSATION

Crime writers love poisons. Even those who write the more cozy variety. I mean, arsenic and old lace? Arsenic, the queen of poisons, is often used as are the opioids and amphetamines and a few others. But maybe you want to explore more uncommon, and deadly, options for your story. Some are easy to come by, others a bit more difficult but all have been used and just might add to your story.
