Science fiction author Neil Sharpson stops by to talk about his debut novel, When the Sparrow Falls.

Neil talks about his journey from playwright to novelist, including struggling through a mental health crisis, performing the play before it was converted to a novel, building the society that is cybernetics paranoid to the extreme, his writing process while converting and expanding this story from script to prose, and more.

And yes, we ran off the rails a little bit with the comics, since Neil’s revisiting the Marvel movies by reviewing them on his blog.
