Citywide Bytes-Jeffrey Gardner joins the “Shapers of Worlds”

I hope you enjoyed our first episode of 2025 with LJ Cohen, because we’re keeping things rolling with the writers. Jeffrey Gardner is part of the upcoming “Shapers of Worlds” Vol. 5, an anthology of science fiction and fantasy stories out in March through Shadowpaw Press.
In this episode, Jeffrey and I talk about his story, “Magic That Cannot Be Undone,” which ties into his existing novels and the new angle it gives on one of his characters. We talk magic, the price it takes, and the path of the mage. Jeffrey shares how he went from novel to short story and the challenges that entails.
We talk about Jeffrey’s work in genetics and biochemistry and how he shifted from technical papers to novels.
