Imagine Art of War written by Douglas Adams and you’re close.

Julia Patt
Julia Patt is an associate editor here at PodCastle, as well as a writer and teacher from Maryland. Her fiction has appeared in Clarkesworld, Escape Pod, Luna Station Quarterly, and other places. When she isn’t working on stories or terrorizing her composition students, she gardens, does yoga, games, reads as much as she can, and, in the summer, attends an inordinate number of baseball games. Visit juliakpatt.com or follow her on Twitter (@chidorme) for more.

H.K. Payne gets writing inspiration from all sorts of sources, including, but not limited to: random song lyrics, magazine photographs, seemingly benign interactions at the grocery store, and her frequent bizarre and vivid dreams. She has a stack of novels in various stages of editing, an ever-growing list of new ideas vying for her attention, and a tendency to overthink which project she should be working on. This is her first professional sale.
