I am delighted to announce this episode’s guest. Tad Williams, author of Fantasy, Science Fiction, comic books and much more joined me to talk about writing and how his career has evolved. For any of you who haven’t spoken to Tad or heard one of his interviews, he is a very interesting person. He had lots to say about his career and the business of writing in general. I also have a writing question from DanDantheArtMan about $100 words. And don’t forget to visit Paulette Jaxton at http://empresssword.com. Paulette purchased a sponsorship as part of the Boom Effect auction. Even if she hadn’t I would recommend her podcast. It is well worth listening to. This a monster sized episode but […]

Review of ‘Bitter Release’ by Scott Roche
I read Scott Roche’s short story, “Bitter Release” (found on Smashwords: http://www.smashwords.com/books/view/11732) and wanted to share my thoughts about it.

For example, I know I want to do signings, interviews (written, video and audio). I want to do readings at the local libraries, online, at schools and practically anywhere else I can think of. What I don’t have a plan for or really understand is how these various activities will benefit the sales of my book(s) and that is where I think the plan falls way short. Without some sort of idea what will and will not work, how do I know where to put my energy? For […]

OK, I know it has been three weeks since the last episode of GalaxyBillies and for that I apologize. As you may (or may not) know, I sold a character spot for GB on TheBoomEffect. That spot was purchased by MegaDan Scholes. This is the first episode that his voice will appear. I created a special new spot for him that I think will be a lot of fun going forward. I’d love to hear what you think. In this episode the humans finally get off Sin Station (or do they?). We also find that the galaxy at large is starting to notice them. For better of worse, they are out there. I’m still waiting for suggestions around what you, […]
