Science fiction authors David Weber and Chris Kennedy stop by to talk about Into the Light, the sequel to the best-selling Out of the Dark.

David talks about expanding the original short story into the first novel, and collaborating with Chris to expand the original novel even further. David also talks about the storytellers who mentored and encouraged him, and how he looks at doing these collaborations as his way of paying what he learned forward to a new generation of writers.

Chris talks about taking his experiences as an indie author and learning from David, then teaching the other writers he works with, pulling all those pieces together and using them in other ways.

The masterclass David gives on craft is something that I hope is just a tease for a full fledged seminar he will someday give.
