Welcome back to the Rocket Talk podcast!

This week’s episode brings Bradley P. Beaulieu back to the show for his third appearance. Justin and Brad dig into what makes an epic fantasy a commercial success and how his new novel, Twelve Kings in Sharakai, might fit that model. The conversation then turns to Brad’s podcast, Speculate SF, and some new science fiction and fantasy titles of interest to both.

Brad Beaulieu is the author of the Lays of Anuskaya Trilogy, and his short story collection Lest Our Passage Be Forgotten and Other Stories was published via Kickstarter. He’s a former winner of the Writers of the Future and his newest novel, The Twelve Kings in Sharakai (released as Twelve Kings in the UK) is out now—read an excerpt here on Tor.com. Brad is also the co-host of Speculate SF, a podcast for writers, readers, and fans.
