Kevin Hearne is the author of the urban fantasy series The Iron Druid Chronicles. Hounded, his first book, was published in May 2011 and takes place in Tempe, Arizona. Hearne's protagonist, Atticus O'Sullivan, is one of the original Celtic druids. He's also the only one still breathing. He's made friends and enemies over the centuries, and unfortunately several gods count themselves in the latter category. He's been hiding in the desert of Arizona for years, but his past was always going to catch up with him eventually. I contacted Kevin several months ago when I found out he was coming to Nashville for a book signing. We planned to have lunch before the event, and he graciously agreed to do an interview for the podcast. So, if you click the link, you'll get about ninety minutes of Kevin and I talking geekery, writing, his book tour, his series, and what he'd like to write once his planned nine IDC books are published. If you're a fan of Kevin already, I hope I asked him some of the questions you've
