marinessBack to discussing Susan Cooper today, with The Dark Is Rising over at Tor.com.
And Clarkesworld has just released a podcast of Trickster. This is the first time since my brief time in second grade that I've ever heard someone else read one of my works out loud. It turns out to be both odd and exhilarating -- odd, because I write, more or less, to mental dictation, hearing the voices and conversation in my head, and hearing those words in someone else's voice is initially disconcerting, exhilarating to hear the new voice infuse emotions into your words, to hear the new voice try entirely different voices for your characters. Kate Baker did an excellent job here, creating different voices for each character which is no easy task, very much getting across the fury I wanted to have seething from the webpage. So, awesome. I hope you all enjoy it as much as I did.
