We're joined by the awesome Alexander James to go on many nerdy tangents and get a sneak preview of his debut novel The Woodkin. We also talk about complex timelines in writing, relative degrees of horror, and Nate's appalling lack of bookshelves.

Alexander spent most of his childhood in southern Germany, and then went to culinary school in South Louisiana. He’s worked as a chef in everything from atrocious mall restaurants to a northern Italian farm-to-fork joint with Michelin dreams. He started writing because he’s only got another ten years or so left in his knees. When he’s not sweating through a crushing dinner service, he’s either drinking Scotch whisky in front of his computer keyboard or backpacking...also with Scotch whisky. He is also the creator of the Critically Stupid Podcast, a comedy dungeons and dragons real play podcast, and the author of The Woodkin, which is scheduled for release in August 2023. 

You can find him on twitter or at his website, and preorder The Woodkin at Amazon or Barnes & Noble
