Last summer, we broadcast a special show from Gen Con from Nick Valentino's hotel room. This week, we catch up with him and his paramour Liz Darvill. Residing in Nashville Tennessee, his background is a curious mix of music, history and the love of all things artistic. Inspired by his intense intrigue with history, his travels around the world and the throngs of steampunk enthusiasts around the nation, Valentino wrote the Alternative History/Science Fiction novel, Thomas Riley. At the age of eighteen, Liz Darvill struck out on her own in search of adventure. It was in these early adult years that she became an avid reader of romance. When she's not painting her nails black or lacing up her corsets, Liz loves weaving all the dark and twisted paranormal facts she digs up into sexy, action packed stories.
