This is episode #223 of Fast Forward: Contemporary Science Fiction. The episode was originally shown in May 2009. It differs slightly from our regular format, because we have three separate interviews - one with award winning author (and musician) Catherine Asaro, one with members of the rock band she is collaborating with, and one with a keyboardist who is helping Catherine take her book-related music on tour to science fiction conventions and book events. There is also a live performance of one of the musical numbers. All of this ties into Catherine's latest book, Diamond Star.
