Interviews with authors Ben Bova, Gus Frederick and Joel Jenkins

Here are three recent interviews worth reading:

• Author Dr. Ben Bova discusses his new novel Mars Life (2008) with Sci-Fi Talk (MP3, 45 minutes). [Thanks to SF Signal]

• Gus Frederick, an instructional technologist, graphic artist, technical illustrator, filmmaker, and member of the Mars Society, discusses real-world Martian caves and lava tubes with Dr. David Livingston of The Space Show (MP3, 120 minutes). Frederick is also a reader and writer of science fiction and, we believe, the author of a short piece about the Librarians of Seerae/Mars.

• Author Joel Jenkins discusses Dire Planet (2005), the first book in his sword and science series about Mars. Jenkins hopes to begin writing the fourth book in the series in 2009.
