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.

The beginning of the end! We start our final Behind The Whitescarves interview, with Alex, Sharon, and Willow Shaw!
Mostly Alex and Willow this time around, but we start by discussing the origin of this story and how much it's changed from original inception. And then we dive deep about Willow's methodology and the creation of Lia the Lynx as a character (Willow having been involved in small ways since inception, but now taking a lead role in a big way!) Join us for the fun, plus more outtakes!
