Episode 659: Excavating Fate by Andrea Franco-Cook

The Blasters & Blades Podcast

We’ve got a doozy for you today with US Army #veteran and #YAauthor Andrea Franco-Cook. We talked about her nerdy roots, her speculative fiction origin story and all of the things that make her an all-around awesome person, despite having been an Airborne MP. Then we talked about her novel Excavating Fate, which sounds cool. With the Christmas holidays coming up, this could be the perfect gift for the young people in your life! This was a fun interview, so go check out this episode. Lend us your eyes and ears, you won't be sorry!!

Join us for a fun show! We're just a couple of nerdy Army veterans geeking out on things that go "abracadabra," "pew," "zoom," "boop-beep" and rhyme with Science Fiction & Fantasy.

Co-Hosts:
JR Handley (Author) (Grunt)
Nick Garber (Comic Book Artist) (Super Grunt)
Madam Stabby Stab (Uber Fan) (Horror Nerd)
Jana S Brown (Author) (Chief Shenanigator)
