For this episode of Season 4, I had the pleasure of interviewing science fiction author Keith McWalter. We had a terrific chat about his newest novel Lifers. This was such a cool premise for me and I had to interview him to see where his ideas originated and where they were going to end up.

Here is the blurb:

In the year 2050, the man known as Zinn is on the run from the consequences of his greatest creation: an artificial genome that wildly increases the human lifespan. His “Methuselah gene” has gone viral, and he’s being hunted by Adele, a semi-retired CIA biowarfare specialist who hopes to find a way to reverse the genome’s effects before it’s too late. As the longevity plague spreads, populations explode, economies are upended, and intergenerational resentments boil over. Adele searches for a cure while her former lover, Dan Altman, and his wife, Marion, wealthy political operatives both, become leaders of a movement of hundred-plus-year-old “lifers” and fight to create a sanctuary for the ultra-aged in the wilds of Colorado. Meanwhile, the Altmans’ son, Nolan, thinks he has the answer to the longevity crisis: a suicide pill that kills after one year, a death wish algorithm that will influence the super-aged to take it, and his beautiful daughter, Claire, who is a spokesperson for the growing anti-lifer backlash and the head of the federal government’s new Department for Longevity Management.

For this episode of Season 4, I had the pleasure of interviewing comic and fantasy writer D. M. Ray about his project Madcaps. This was a great first issue and I am looking forward to backing his second issue.

Issue #1: "A brawny intellectual, a devout farmer, a good-hearted charlatan, and a social facilitator; this circle of friends shall reunite in their hometown, Ivywood. Before they can depart for employment, they are interrupted by a local drug problem which carries hidden, sinister, undertones. Can they survive the night, and what is the source of this danger? The bond amongst these friends may be the only metric to answer such questions."

Make sure to check out the Kickstarter for Issue 2 which will be live soon! Check out D. M. Ray's links below:
