AUTHOR INTERVIEW: Amanda Bridgeman Talks Pandemic Patient Zero

Hello and welcome to this Track of Words Author Interview, where today I’m talking to Amanda Bridgeman about her novel Patient Zero, the first volume in a new series from Aconyte Books based on the world of the hit board game Pandemic.

Translator Interview: Nikki Kopelman Talks Translating The Ming Storm

Welcome to this slightly unusual Track of Words interview, where rather than chatting to an author, this time I’m talking to translator Nikki Kopelman who has translated Yan Leisheng’s Assassin’s Creed novel The Ming Storm into English for Aconyte Books.
