JR Murdock is a Author and podcaster. He has written 9 novels and over 100 short stories, several of which are in print. He and I have a lot of commonalities in our writing journeys and we thought it might be fun to talk about what has worked and what hasn’t. It’s a fun conversation that I think you’ll enjoy. I’m also very pleased to announce that the show has a sponsor. Paulette Jaxton is sponsoring several episodes.

If I’m having a bad day at work it gets really tough to distance myself from that enough to write anything that isn’t tainted by those events. The same holds true for commitments outside of the work day. I’ve been doing Scouts AND Cubs since September. That dedicates a minimum of two nights per week every week to them. I enjoy doing it but it cuts […]

Have you ever gone out to a nice restaurant, looked at the menu and seen the most delectable dish that calls your name? You look at it, decide it’s too much to eat, move on and, invariably, come back to it and, somehow, despite your best intentions to behave and not overeat you order it anyway? You have? Me too.
