Fantasy author and screenwriter Tanya Huff is our special guest for Slice of SciFi Show #114.
Tanya is from Canada and has earned herself the prestigious position of being one of the world’s most prominent contemporary fantasy writers living today. Her series books like “The Keeper’s Chronicles,” The Quarters Series” and the “Crystal” novels have established her within the literary field, but it is her tales from the “Blood Books” that has placed her solidly in the ranks of the greats in today’s genre literature.
The “Blood Books” were adapted for the small screen this year in Canada under the title “Blood Ties,” and picked up in the United States by the Lifetime cable network where the series has become that network’s first real bona-fide hit show. The basic premise of the show follows the investigations and life of a young female cop (Vickie Nelson), played by Christina Cox, who begins going blind, quits the force and creates her own private investigative agency. She teams up with a 450 year old vampire, who it turns out is the illegitimate son of Henry the VIII, and he becomes our heroine’s love interest.
There you have it. Slice moves to its new day — Thursday, with a great Tanya Huff interview — lots of great news and information about upcoming events, movies and television programs — and, an excellent movie review. Who could ask for more? O wait! We do have more — We will have our three top winners of the “Return of Kyle XY” contest posted in the show notes for this show and we begin an all new giveaway featuring two Godzilla DVD’s.
