Episode # 180 Philip Fracassi on his new novel The Third Rule of Time Travel

Certain authors gain respect and become immediate commitments
from me. As in I am reading whatever the heck they put out. I
have not read everything by Philip Fracassi yet, but he won me
over with a short story (Fail-safe), and last year Boys in Valley
did an amazing job grabbing me with one of the subgenres I am not
a huge fan of - the possession novel. When I interviewed him for
that book he was talking about working on this one, and I was
excited that he was doing Science Fiction.


The Third Rule of Time Travel is hard SF, as in the science is
taken seriously. It has horror elements but is a character-driven
emotional roller coaster of a novel that gave Richard Matheson
vibes. The first half of the interview is spoiler-free and a
warning we get into the nuts and bolts of writing this amazing
novel.
