Conan Among the Ashes (ft. Alexander Palacio)

Demon snake gods, human sacrifice, and what does Conan the Barbarian have to do with Hernan Cortez? Alexander Palacio joins the show to talk about his sword and sorcery series, Ashes of the Urn. We also talk about story structure, the writing process, and how much power Barnes and Noble shelf stockers have over the culture.
