Beyond the Page #19 | Writing Love Into History with Paula Panariello
In Episode 19 of Beyond the Page, I’m joined by historical romance author Paula Panariello to talk about writing love stories within the realities of the past, the research required to make historical fiction believable, and beginning an entirely new creative chapter after retirement. Paula spent decades reading romance before deciding to try writing one herself. What began with a writing workshop and a very rough first manuscript eventually grew into something she never expected: a genuine love of writing. We discuss the familiar tropes and expectations of romance, why predictability isn't necessarily a weakness, and the challenge of creating characters and historical circumstances compelling enough to make readers care about the journey even when they have an idea where it's heading. Paula also takes us behind the research that goes into her fiction, including learning about deafness in Regency-era England and turning to her 100-year-old aunt for firsthand memories of life during World War II. We also talk about self-publishing, marketing, writing as a hobby without allowing it to become another job, and the moment Paula finally stopped feeling like an impostor and realized she really was a writer.

A Better Week for Comics & Lone Wolf & Cub Vol. 11 | Panel Chewing #143
This week on Panel Chewing, Steve and Jarrod dig into another week of comics—but first, they take a look at the state of the comic book industry. Are more people actually buying comics? Why is DC's Absolute line dominating comic shops? And what happens to smaller indie titles when stores simply can't afford to keep them on the shelves? Then it's time for the week's reviews, including Absolute Batman #23, Detective Comics #1111, Punisher #7, Conan the Barbarian #33, Shell Shock #1, The Dirt Beneath the Devil #1, and more. Jarrod also catches up with Rook: Exodus, a series that continues to impress with its worldbuilding and incredible artwork. For Picks of the Week, Jarrod discovers an unexpected winner in Black Star #1, while Steve chooses Fire and Ice: Dark Wolf #2, a visually stunning fantasy adventure that may be light on story this issue but delivers where it counts with atmosphere, artwork, coloring, and lettering. Finally, the Lone Wolf and Cub readalong continues with Volume 11. After the intensity of Volume 10, the story slows down for a more emotional and introspective collection that explores Ogami and Daigoro separately before bringing their paths together again. The discussion looks at Daigoro's growing empathy, the symbolism running throughout the volume, and why this decades-old manga continues to feel remarkably timeless. Join us for comic reviews, industry talk, our Picks of the Week, and another journey down the assassin's road with Lone Wolf and Cub.

Beyond the Page #18 | Hit the Road and Thrive: Living a Creative Life with Dave Letterfly
In Episode 18 of Beyond the Page, I’m joined by author, artist, musician, and lifelong adventurer Dave Letterfly, author of Hit the Road and Thrive: Seven Secrets for Living the Dream. Dave’s path has been anything but conventional. From joining a traveling circus at 16 and working as a drummer and performing horseman to becoming a sign painter, RV mural artist, and traveling pinstriper, Dave has built a life around creativity, curiosity, and a willingness to follow the road wherever it leads. We talk about rediscovering the imagination and sense of adventure we often lose as we grow older, taking the scary first step toward something new, and learning to see failures and setbacks as detours rather than dead ends. Dave also opens up about addiction, recovery, sobriety, and one of the hardest lessons he had to learn: sometimes changing your life begins with admitting you can't do everything alone. It’s a conversation about creativity, recovery, reinvention, adventure, and having the courage to build a life that actually feels like your own.

The Gentleman Makes His Move | Carpentry in the Elven Forest (Chapters 26–38)
The quest is heating up as we continue our group read of Carpentry in the Elven Forest by Alex French, covering chapters 26–38. This week, Jef, Amber, and Oggy attempt their heist for the Feather of Choosing with a plan that doesn't exactly go as expected. We also get a different perspective on the Rangers, learn more about what Amber may have to prove, and discover an unexpected benefit from the magical anklet she can't seem to get rid of. Meanwhile, the Gentleman finally makes his move against the Deep Dark, raising even more questions about his master plan and just how much influence he has over Jeff. With Jeff and Amber growing closer, the jewelry box suddenly feels a little more complicated than it did before. We also have trolls, goblins, an Indiana Jones style escape, Oggy's ongoing hatred of birds, and plenty of the humor that has made this such a fun change of pace. With the Rangers in danger and everyone seemingly headed toward the same place, the stage is set for the finale. Join me as we discuss chapters 26–38, share some theories about where everything is heading, and prepare to finish Carpentry in the Elven Forest next week. What do you think the Gentleman is really planning and how much of Jef's journey has actually been his own choice?

Blood Meridian is Coming & Friday Conversations Is Back! | Weekly Update
After missing last week's update, I'm back with plenty to catch up on! This week I'm talking about my continued journey through The Bonehunters, why reading Malazan with a group has become almost essential for me, and the very different experience I've been having with the much lighter and funnier Carpentry in the Elven Forest. I'm also continuing Lone Wolf and Cub on Panel Chewing and our full-spoiler reread of The Warrior Prophet and The Second Apocalypse. I'm also officially announcing my upcoming Blood Meridian readalong. Starting September 7, I'll be tackling Cormac McCarthy's novel one chapter at a time, with a new episode every day. Rather than simply recapping each chapter, I want to slow down, ask questions, track how my thoughts change throughout the novel, and hopefully bring in a guest at the end to help dig even deeper into the book. There's plenty happening with Beyond the Page as well. I talk about some recent and upcoming conversations covering everything from Hollywood and science fiction to romance, Sasquatch, AI, creativity, and some incredible real-life stories. And Friday Conversations is officially back! We recently recorded a new episode with Leila Gausi and Alex French discussing dystopian science fiction, AI, separating the art from the artist, and plenty more. I'm hoping to make these casual, free-flowing conversations a regular part of Page Chewing again. I also talk about the new Page Chewing Patreon, revisiting The Hunger Games movies, why the ebook deals posts have ended, and why I'm more than ready for summer to be over. Thanks for listening, reading along, and continuing to support Page Chewing! This week: The Bonehunters reading update Carpentry in the Elven Forest Lone Wolf and Cub The Warrior Prophet full-spoiler reread The upcoming Blood Meridian daily readalong New and upcoming Beyond the Page interviews The return of Friday Conversations Page Chewing Patreon Revisiting The Hunger Games And more!

Page Burners: The Bonehunters Ch. 13–16 | Broken Gods, Broken People
In this episode of Page Burners, we continue our journey through The Bonehunters with a full-spoiler discussion of Chapters 13–16, where gods fall, old conflicts return in new forms, and Steven Erikson keeps pushing the series deeper into questions of power, suffering, and whether humanity ever truly learns from its mistakes. We spend a lot of time with Paran as he steps further into his role as Master of the Deck, and the increasingly complicated war among the gods. We also unpack what these chapters reveal, while debating whether such a major threat was resolved too quickly. Elsewhere, Felisin Younger emerges at the center of a new incarnation of the Apocalypse, leading us into a discussion about Erikson's recurring use of the same ideas in changing forms and why the Apocalypse in Seven Cities never seems to truly disappear. We also dig into Spite's bleak view of humanity, the cost of war, the idea that people continually fight one another instead of confronting the problems that actually threaten them, and how those themes connect back to philosophy. Along the way, we talk Karsa, Mappo, Quick Ben, Shadowthrone, the increasingly tangled games being played by gods and mortals, and some surprisingly quiet, human moments buried beneath all the chaos. As always, this is a full-spoiler discussion for everything we've covered so far in Malazan Book of the Fallen and the connected novels by Ian C. Esslemont.

Beyond the Page 17: Not a Real Enemy: Survival, Freedom & Family History with Robert J. Wolf
In this episode of Beyond the Page, I’m joined by Dr. Robert J. Wolf, author of Not a Real Enemy: The True Story of a Hungarian Jewish Man’s Fight for Freedom. Robert shares the extraordinary story of his father, Ervin Wolf, a Hungarian Jewish man who survived forced labor during World War II, escaped multiple times, endured Nazi and Communist rule, and eventually fled Hungary following the 1956 Hungarian Revolution. We discuss Robert’s decision to transform his father’s autobiography into a biography, the emotional weight of researching his family’s history, and how learning the full extent of what his parents endured changed his own perspective on freedom and everyday life. Robert also talks about the continuing importance of Holocaust education, combating antisemitism, and preserving these stories for future generations. And, as always on Beyond the Page, we eventually lighten things up with conversations about music, favorite albums, food, and Robert’s first job. It’s a conversation about survival, resilience, family, history, and why stories like this cannot be allowed to disappear.

Beyond the Page 16: Liam Begley on Broken Interstellar, Sci-Fi & Worker Solidarity
In this episode of Beyond the Page, Steve sits down with author Liam Begley to discuss Broken Interstellar, a science fiction space opera that approaches humanity’s future among the stars from a very different perspective: the workers who keep everything running. Liam describes the novel as a “union workers space opera,” following a cargo worker stranded on a deserted planet who must find his way back to his crew and career. That premise opens the door to a much larger conversation about worker solidarity, interstellar trade, economics, technology, and the kinds of societies humanity might build as it spreads beyond Earth. We also explore Liam’s influences, including Ursula K. Le Guin, Iain M. Banks, Lois McMaster Bujold, and The Lord of the Rings, along with the challenge of balancing detailed worldbuilding with an engaging story. Later, Liam shares his experience pursuing traditional publishing before choosing self-publishing, the difficulty independent authors face finding the right audience, and why good marketing isn't about reaching everyone, it's about reaching the readers who actually want your book. We also get into AI and creativity, the importance of human perspective and imperfection in art, Liam's work in the film industry, and what an early job cleaning out a family home taught him about work as a form of service. It’s a wide-ranging conversation about science fiction, labor, storytelling, publishing, technology, and what happens when ordinary workers, not emperors or military heroes become the center of an interstellar adventure.

A Rough Week for Comics, an Amazing Week for Lone Wolf & Cub | Panel Chewing #142
This week on Panel Chewing, Steve and Jarrod are back with two weeks' worth of comics and unfortunately, the stack isn't exactly overflowing with winners. They dig into Absolute Green Lantern, Absolute Superman, Kingdom of Earth, Endeavour, Savage Sword of Conan, Queen in Black, Foundations, Red Roots, Powers 25, Terabytes, American Caper, The Dirt Beneath the Devil, Ezra Cain: Mysteries of the Peril Brutal Dark, City of Demons, and more. There are plenty of disappointments, a few books headed straight off the pull list, and thankfully some standouts that make the rough week worthwhile. For their Picks of the Week, Jarrod celebrates Patrick Zircher's return to Solomon Kane with The Lion Errant #1, while Steve finds an unexpected favorite in Mad Cave Studios' The Omega Book #1, a strange science fiction mystery involving an estranged father and son, hidden dimensions, and a device capable of revealing what lies behind the reality we see. Then it's time to continue the Lone Wolf and Cub readalong with Volume 10, and this may be the best volume yet. The conflict between Ogami Itto and the Yagyu reaches a new level, Ogami and Daigoro are pushed into unfamiliar territory, and some of the series' most impressive action and visual storytelling takes center stage. Steve and Jarrod discuss the emotional weight of Daigoro's journey, the incredible artwork, and why this decades old manga still feels timeless. Which comics survived the week, and is Volume 10 really the best Lone Wolf and Cub volume so far? Join us and find your Pick of the Week.

Beyond the Page 15: From Hollywood to Novelist with Kay A. Oliver
What happens when someone who spent decades behind the scenes in Hollywood decides to become a novelist? In Episode 15 of Beyond the Page, I sit down with award-winning author Kay A. Oliver to talk about her journey from a nearly 30-year career in the entertainment industry to writing fiction and building an impressive catalog of 18 novels. Kay shares how her experiences in Hollywood influenced her storytelling, why she gravitates toward writing strong and intelligent female protagonists, and what she's learned about finding—and trusting—her own creative voice. We also discuss the realities of the entertainment industry, her writing process, working with editors, resilience, artificial intelligence and creativity, and the importance of continuing to pursue the work that matters to you. Kay also talks about her Kutter Murder Mystery series, including Fear Struck, and what continues to motivate her after publishing so many books. It's a conversation about writing, reinvention, persistence, and following your own path—even when that path takes you somewhere you never expected.

The Quest Takes Shape | Carpentry in the Elven Forest (Chapters 14–25)
The pieces are starting to come together in our Carpentry in the Elven Forest by Alex French group read! This week, we're diving into chapters 14–25, as Jeff and Oggy set out to rescue Amber, the trolls turn out to be far more complicated than expected, and Gaskin continues to reveal just how powerful and mysterious he might actually be. We also learn more about the Gentleman and the Deep Dark, the strings they're pulling behind the scenes, and the real purpose behind Jeff's seemingly simple mission to build a jewelry box. Meanwhile, Amber's situation puts a ticking clock on the group's journey, and Jeff, Oggy, and Amber finally begin to come together as a team. Plus, I finally discover the painfully obvious joke from last week's chapters that somehow went completely over my head. Join me as we discuss the reveals, humor, characters, theories, and everything else from chapters 14–25. Next week, we'll continue with chapters 26–38. What did you think of this section?
