I am very excited to announce the arrivial of The Action Pack Podcast. I’ve listened and read all three stories and I think they are great.

You can find out more at www.actionpackpodcast.com. In this episode, my special guest, Anne Toole and I, talk about Clarion West. I’ve heard lots about the Clarion and Clarion West programs over the years and it was great to hear about it from someone who has experienced it.

Leaping for Joy!
How original. I am ripping off the fact that today is February 29th, a day that only comes around every four years.

Last episode I mentioned a new project I’m working on with Jeffrey Hite. We are co-editing an Anthology I’ve referred to as the Mad Scientist Handbook. Well, the big news is, Five Rivers Publishing has agreed to take the project on. I believe this is going to be their first non-Canadian project. Jeff and I have renamed the book to A Method to the Madness: A Guide to the Super Evil. Submissions are open and you can find more information at madscientistanthology.wordpress.com. I’ve also finished writing the first episode of Boy Scouts of the Apocalypse for The Action Pack Podcast. The first Action Pack episode along with the accompanying eBook will be available at the end of February. We have […]
