"Subverting Readers' Expectations through a Fictional Tarot Reading" posted online

I've recorded and posted my 2017 PCA/ACA talk and slideshow, "Subverting Readers' Expectations through a Fictional Tarot Reading in The Billionth Monkey," as I'm unlikely to reprise it elsewhere. It includes a reading from Chapter 1, plus a discussion of how I use the Tarot reading in this scene as a form of misdirection.

CONTAINS SPOILERS after the reading.

Apologies for occasional audio glitches around the slide transitions, due to how PowerPoint records audio.
