66: The many uses of a Chip*tle burrito: A Conversation with Caitlin Starling

This week, we talk to Caitlin Starling, author of The Luminous Dead and The Death of Jane Lawrence. We touched on the behind-the-scenes of traditional publishing, differences in writing fanfiction and original fiction, disembowelment as a regular motif in her work, and some pro-tips on keeping your beard fresh and fancy when you've been imprisoned due to the wily machinations of your erstwhile psychiatrist.

Please be advised that if you find the sound of a dog panting uncomfortable, bees's dog makes an appearance at 1:11, and the noise lasts for about 30 seconds.
