In 2013, Alex Shaw published a small novel called The Cartographer’s Handbook, the first in a series called The New Century Multiverse. The premise is alt history, where post-Civil War America is suddenly overcome with a plague of dangerous monsters that overwhelm the Reconstruction, and bring the nation to its knees. The series is not about its fall, however, but about the heroes that help bring it back from the brink, and step into a wider world that is not the one they knew. New mysteries to unlock, magics to discover, and worlds to explore. Ten years later, the New Century Multiverse is now thirteen books strong, with more on the way. It has had 2 major story arcs, an Avengers style coming together of the heroes of its various books, and multiple worlds and genres to explore. This is its first fan podcast. Through The Wind Door is a deep dive exploration of the novels and their corresponding audiodramas, along with interviews of the cast and creators. Accessible to new readers and long time fans, join Greg and Toby as they share thoughts about this engaging series.

And here it is. The final interviews for Stonespring Maidens to help us close out the year and bring us into the next. Alex and Sharon take us through the origins and the building of the latest story and audiodrama of New Century.
We get off on several tangents throughout this first part, talking as much about New century in general and how stories are crafted as some of the details of this latest iteration. We get into discussions about romance literature, romances (and their patterns) in New Century, Representation and genres, and more about the construction of Autumn itself in the early days.
Some more TTWD outtakes at the end, and much thanks to Maureen Foley for her help at the beginning of our show.
