27: Reaching Peak Bone

Published: Oct. 13, 2015, 3 p.m.

b'October is here, so John E. O. Stevens, Fred Kiesche and Jeff Patterson decide to go west to the magic-infused realm of California for a chat with Greg van Eekhout. Greg educates the Hoarsemen on the importance of tacos, things that are terrible but wonderful but terrible, the discipline of outlining, the pitfalls with the \\u201curban fantasy\\u201d label, writing for kids and adults, and why it isn\\u2019t cool to eat a wizard in Northern California. In this month\\u2019s culture consumed, Fred went to The Martian, Jeff went to Capclave, and John went to a big-ass book sale.'
