Posted on by

PG Holyfield joins us this episode to talk about the upcoming print release of “Murder at Avedon Hill”. PG tells us about the history of the book and the journey he has taken to get it into print along with what’s next. I also have a question from Scott Roche about writing in different genres. 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.

Keep Things in Perspective

Posted on by

I was chatting with a friend of mine the other day about a writing conference and he mentioned how disappointed he was with some of the authors who attended. Now, before I go too far, let me say that the friend I was talking to is also an author. As to why he was disappointed in (some) of his fellow authors it comes down to a single word: attitude. He told me that a number of the attending authors had the attitude that they were better than everyone else and deserved to be treated like celebrities. I have a real problem with that because, as Dave Duncan once said to me, “Every professional author was an amateur just like you […]

GalaxyBillies – Episode 8

Posted on by

Hello, my friends. Well, the group consensus seems to be that the name for fans of GalaxyBillies should be “Kinfolk”. So a big “HEY” to all the Kinfolk out there.

I won’t be doing anything more with them (yet), but I’m noodling on what would […]

Book Review: Evolve, Vampire Stories of the New Undead

Posted on by

Evolve is a different kind of book for me; I usually don’t read either anthologies or vampire fiction. I’m more of a novel reader and while I enjoy vampire fiction the recent trends in that genre haven’t really struck a chord with me. Still, I think I was fated to read this book. When I first opened it to a random page, the story was taking place in Calgary where I live. That doesn’t happen every day so I picked up the book. I read it cover to cover over the course of a week during my daily commute. Evolve has a nice assortment of 24 short stories from a wide-range of authors including Kelly Armstrong and Tanya Huff as […]
