If you have the chance, go and see Peter. He's a marvelous writer, and a fascinating man to talk to.

Also, there's a Peter S. Beagle Q&A session that goes on for almost four hours (along with publisher and long-time friend Connor Cochran, and special guest caller Diane Duane) on my podcast The Biblio File.

Peter talks about his writing career, his experience scripting the Bakshi animated Lord of the Rings movie (for a pittance and a promise for more work that wasn't kept), how the company that owns his movie The Last Unicorn has systematically ripped him off through Hollywood accounting, the Star Trek Next Generation episode he wrote (and Diane Duane chimes in with her own Trek writing experiences), and many more fascinating things. I'm really proud of that show, and delighted to have had the chance to discuss all those things with him.
