Episode 581: Rise From Ruin by Melissa Olthoff

The Blasters & Blades Podcast

I had a blast chatting with Melissa Olthoff, an awesome US Air Force Zoomie turned wordsmith. She wrote the book Rise From Ruin in her Griffin Core Series. I am definitely hooked, I want to read them when the audiobook comes out! We also waxed poetic about our nerdy origin stories. You’ll enjoy this one, seriously! This was a fun interview, go check it out!

Join us for a fun show! We're just a couple of nerdy Army veterans geeking out on things that go "abracadabra," "pew," "zoom," "boop-beep" and rhyme with Science Fiction & Fantasy.

Co-Hosts:
JR Handley (Author) (Grunt)
Nick Garber (Comic Book Artist) (Super Grunt)
Madam Stabby Stab (Uber Fan) (Horror Nerd)
