Hey man, thanks for having me on!
Judging by glowing reviews from booktube, I have a theory that you could've had a chance to be a big author with millions of copies sold. But if Brando Sando is right, it's harder for newer voices to breakthrough. He talks it here - ua-cam.com/video/f_o71juJkPs/v-deo.html
I'm doing my part and your books are on my certain TBR, so I wish you good luck with your career)
I want to be an author too and my strategy in this age would be - become content creator, like a youtuber that gives top-notch quality content, create good community and audience. All the while writing books on the side and then one day when the audience is large enough publish my books. It's a lot of work, but I'm always was interested in becoming youtuber anyway)
The man !
Love hearing your thoughts on stuff man, great stuff!
@@alexrechkin7 I see his books for sale in book stores all the way in New Zealand! In my mind that means bro has made it!
@@pillarmusic1641 Wouldn't it be nice if there was a new big series that everybody is talking about, though? New cultural phenomenon like LOTR, Harry Potter and etc? Could Sun Eater become something like that? Could be fun~
I freakin love Ruocchio!!! He’s an amazing author and an amazing dude! So good to his fans!
What I love about Christopher is his love for the classics of the genre. I find so many people only talk about books written in the last 20 years. So many gems that goes unappreciated
Its so nice to get the chance to know Christopher a bit, as i read his books.
Crispin Richie is definitely one of my favorite authors now and I'm only 2 books in. Will have them all finished for Disquiet Gods release day.
I love whenever you have him on to talk to, one of my favorite authors right now. The sun eater is awesome, and it's my favorite series now. I'm excited for book 6
I know it's probably impossible, but you guys have to make this a monthly show or at least a recurring thing. My favorite duo
Who better to talk about nothing? 😃 Always a pleasure to listen to you two chat.
The end was wholesome as fuck and Mike has been a great champion for this series
O M G this is my number one favorite BookTube episode of all time and Crispin (lol) is now my spirit author and favorite writer! Doctor Who from 1963 and Big Finish!! YESSS!!! Sadly I can watch & rewatch the old shows. The new flashy shows are awesome but not necessarily rewatchable. If you started watching with the new flashy show you might not get it. It’s not about the hilarious bubble wrap monsters. It’s a classic for a reason. I never watched Who for the special effects LMAO! I love all sci-fi!!! Doctor Who reigns as number one, good or bad, old or new. Crispin, you’re an old soul! Loved this one! Relisten on Empire of Silence is on December”s TBR! 💯♥️ Twainy
It’s great seeing ruocchios recent success, the book series is blowing up over social media.
Glad to hear you guys talk abit about the damage rothfuss and george martin have done to book readers, that is the exact reason I don't read unfinished series... I look forward to sun eater being finished, I'll surely buy it at that point!
Great!
Eccleston, Tennant and Smith are all totally ICONIC, as the Doctor. I sort of fell out of Who around Capaldi, I tried Whittaker and it did not catch on. Maybe one day, but I went from watching episodes on repeat and knowing everything about those episodes and then nothing.
Farscape was such a great show. I have the whole series on dvd
Can’t wait to catch up
You guys are cool but not live at 7am cool 🤣🤣
Andor is the best Star Wars thing since Empire. It shows Disney can do unique interesting storytelling, when there’s someone who wants to tell a story and not put a character on screen for nostalgia. Also The Last Jedi is the best sequel movie. That movies great.
So truth be told I havent read a Star Wars book since my young teenage years. Books like Shadows of the Empire, Darksaber and that series that follows Han and Leia's twins (I still do not understand not using this to deal with the good/bad, yin/yang, fall/redemption arcs that they decided to give Kylo and Rey).But to me, it seems that the only way I will get to see some consistantly good Star Wars might be to read some of those books.
Orders book on Amazon. Books sells out. Laugh that I got my book in time, gets message that my order was cancelled due to no stock.
Between two Fires by Christopher Buehlman. Horror set during the black plague.
To be fair, Daniel Greene is dyslexic :D
Yeah I’m still holding out hope that Dune blows up. Game 😅r thrones was massive and is still somewhat recent
Hey Cristopher, any plans on releasing Sun eater short stories in book format?
Yes. There will be an omnibus out after book 7!
@@SunEaterBooks Great to hear, tysm, keep Up the good work!
@@SunEaterBooks Any luck finding a publishing deal in spanish? Bear in mind its the 3 most spoken language in the world(certainly more than Czech xD), plus i would buy your books again😉
@@georgijaxx1557 I may have wandered off and not properly answered the question, but no, I have not had any interest from Spanish language publishers, and believe me, I'm well aware it's a large market. I have been hoping to have the books translated into both Spanish and Portuguese for some years now, but there has not been any interest just yet.
Somebody during the show said TaiPan and Noble House were better than Shogun. They were good, but I wouldn’t go that far. The last ones definitely went down hill though. Shogun is the only one I’d read more than once. It’s my second favorite novel after Lonesome Dove and I’ve read it multiple times over the decades. Lord of the Rings was my favorite growing up in the 70’s and 80’s. I have very similar tastes as Christopher with Fantasy and Science Fiction and historical fiction, but I just can’t put any of them over Lonesome Dove, Pillars of the Earth, and Shogun. Gonna be hard to knock off those 3. The SunEater books are climbing way up the list though. I also grew up in the Raleigh, NC area so it’s cool that CR lives there. I went to UNC-Chapel Hill for undergrad and grad school, but I grew up an NC State fan.
What Marvel and DC are currently doing is Rob liefelding the movies. He used to introduce so many new characters and wouldn't give us the time to attach to any one, every issue he'd introduce some new team etc and thus he failed pretty bad.
Mike, if you want a great PC update with which you can play the latest titles, you must update first your GPU with atleast 16GB in the price range of 600 to 800$. Then, a CPU performant enough that it won't bottleneck the GPU.
If you want to update, my advice to you is to go the AMD route with the new CPU series.
Rebel Moon potential praise def didn’t age well… 😂
Wondering if chris and mike have read darth plagueus? If you guys miss star wars then please go read it… it’ll blow your socks off!! BTW its NOT DISNEY ERA
Fullmetal alchemist is great. Both the anime (brotherhood) and the manga.
32:11 Rebel Moon bleh
I actually disagree for dune and John Carter it's inspired by it but u can't pick one thing that's one to one in similarities. It inspired dune in some aspects with multiple works to create its own new concept.
When for example u see rebel moon and u see heated swords that are like light sabers it's obviously star wars influence it's a one to one thing, And there nothing wrong with that. It's just that I don't agree with the "everything is inspired by something" yea it ain't the same as older works.
Read this as think about talking. Which you guys did plenty of hahah
Too many ads
Watching this two months later and the Rebel Moon talk is making me laugh so bad. What an awful movie that ended up being.
I didn't hate it but I forgot about it 10 minutes after I finished it.
Yeah i dont like zach synder i love alan moore
31:48 this IMMEDIATELY aged poorly lmao 😬
Ha, it's so weird listening to Americans talking about Doctor Who, it used to be such an utterly British show. Now it's just a steaming turd of a thing.
I grew up watching it in the 70's and Tom Baker will always be my favourite Doctor. I also liked Jon Pertwee & Peter Davidson.
From the new Doctors I think Matt Smith is the best followed by David Tennant.
I remember reading a lot of the books that they brought out in the 70's.
The Doctor Who weekly that came out in the 70's was a great comic for a long time. With Tom Baker as the Doctor. It introduced one of the best characters ever Abslom Daak - Dalek Killer.
Mike I was surprised Christopher was so against a female Dr. Who. I thought the younger generation were growing up more open minded. I am also a New Yorker & a Met fan! Maybe they can get Yamamoto and win in 2024.
What's the purpose of gender swapping the character?
Well, we mustn't be so open-minded that our brains fall out.
There's a difference between being open to new ideas and being lazy
I started falling out of love with Doctor Who during the Capaldi era. I couldn’t detect any semblance of chemistry between Capaldi and Coleman. I tried to watch the show during the Whittaker era, but it was intolerable. The music, writing, and Whittaker’s costume were awful, in my opinion. A complete turn off.
