Episode 30: Peter J Aldin - Mental Health in Fiction, Villians, and the Line Between Good and Evil

In this episode, I chat with Peter J Aldin about his journey from youth pastor to science fiction author, about why he set his Zombie apocalypse in Tasmania, and about the depiction of mental health in fiction. We also chat about the nature of villains and alien spirituality. Despite the early hour in the Australian morning, we manage to fit in The Lightning Round, the Big Questions and Revenge of the Muse. Books of his we discuss are: Black Marks, the Doomsday's Child series, the Envoy Trilogy and his CUSET universe.

Peter is currently running a Kickstarter for a limited 5 year anniversary edition of Black Marks, which you can check out here: www.kickstarter.com/projects/petealdin/black-marks-special-5th-anniversary-edition
