Alderpod #19 – Chapter Seventeen: Welcome
Huzzah! Another chapter done. Instead of putting my notes here, I decided to go ahead and babble a bit at the end of this one. So stay tuned at the end for ramblings and insight (hopefully…haha).
I’m also going to be releasing some bonus tracks in the next few weeks, where I profile the characters for you, talk about their inspiration, and how the approach has changed from book to book. Alderpod #20 is recorded and ready–I’ve only got to give it a last listen, and queue up the music. Now that the book is done it’s a bit easier to go. Hard to believe that I’m 2/3 through at this point.

So I was wondering, will you be delving more into the Ardesians (not sure if that’s how you spell it)? but they’ve always sort of been on the periphery and sound quite interesting. Maybe another book later on? Oh and I LOVE the compound with whores on it. I’ve got similar ladies in almost every story of mine. I’ve even considered writing a research paper about prostitution, I find the subject so fascinating. Have you ever seen Firefly? The episode where Mal goes to Inarra’s compound type place to save her, I always imagined brothels to look similar to that š
Wonderful work! Can’t wait to hear the next chapter.

@tintri Yes, more Ardesians, absolutely. And more Soderons, which will come into play in a few chapters.
Yes, Firefly! I hadn’t thought of that, but it’s certainly very similar. Provides a little comic relief, with Brick falling off his horse, too.
