Welcome to Episode 4 of BookBanter, a very special episode featuring an exclusive interview with the bestselling author of Hyperion and The Terror, Dan Simmons.  I was able to interview Dan Simmons recently while on his Drood book tour at Kepler’s Books.  Unsurprisingly, Dan Simmons is a very interesting guy, who had a lot to talk about his books, books in general, writing, and even about the special agreement he has with his agent on the day of his death . . . but you’ll have to listen to the podcast to find out exactly what that entails.
