Brian's guest this week is author, editor, and game designer Shanna Germain! Shanna is best known as the co-founder, co-owner, and managing editor of Monte Cook Games. Over her career she’s published everything from poems and articles to short stories and novels, as well as taught classes on publishing and writing. Her latest works include Numenera novels Tomorrow’s Bones and The Night Clave.

Shanna and Brian chat about her work at Monte Cook Games, her changes in creative focus, and the choices one has to make between writing time, publication, and a secure day job. They also discuss the tricky relationship that authors have with their reviews, from random Twitter comments all the way to professional trade publications.
