“Read lots of science fiction because the future will be better.” – Edward Lerner Today’s bonus award-winning author is a physicist and computer scientist, Edward Lerner. Ed and I talk about his newest book, becoming a full-time sci-fi writer, and more!   Key Thing’s You’ll Learn: The compromise he made with his wife after becoming a full-time writer in 2004. What to expect from his newest book. His research process for this book and the most fun part about it. His advice for aspiring sci-fi writers.
