For the latest episode of Eating the Fantastic<\/em>, I broke away from Balticon<\/a> for lunch with Fran Wilde at a restaurant extremely close by, and in doing so ended up replicating for you an aspect of con-going I’d yet to bring to you before—the fact we sometimes get so busy at these events that it’s impossible to squeeze in a leisurely meal.<\/p>\n

And so this is an Eating the Fantastic<\/em> first—an episode recorded not just during lunch at Family Meal<\/a>, but also later, back at the con over cookies from Vacarro’s<\/a> (because there had to be food involved, of course), in a room set aside for kaffeklatches.<\/p>\n

Fran is the Nebula Award-winning and Compton Crook Award-winning author of Updraft<\/em>, plus the host of the Cooking the Books<\/em><\/a> podcast, which has a writers + food focus just like mine.<\/p>\n

We talked about what she lost the night she won her Nebula Award, her love for Anne McCaffrey’s The Ship Who Sang<\/em>, the power of poetry, why she tries to do one thing a month that scares her, her Cooking the Books<\/em> podcast, and much more.<\/p>\n
