Hello Everyone, In this episode, the humans finally have a chance to stretch their legs. They have been cooped up way too long since being kidnapped by the Grokmar and they are all going a bit stir-crazy. They all decide to split up to do their own things. Betty Sue, Carol Anne and Bobby John go shopping while Jim Bob and Zeke go looking for a night on the town. Five humans who have never left the mountains loose on an alien space station. What could possibly go wrong? I hope you enjoy the show and, as always, you can call my voicemail line at 206.203.2031 or leave me a comment here or email me at galaxybilly at irreverentmuse dot […]

A Change of Plans
First of all, let me say that my change of plans is not a bad thing. I am not stopping anything that I am already doing (i.e. weekly blog entries or either of my podcasts).

I planned to do a quick release of ‘GalaxyBillies’ for a couple episodes to get me to […]

I came to a realization the other day: despite everything I am doing right now, I need to do more. A LOT more. How is that for an obscure opening statement? Do I mean I need to walk more, eat more or watch more television? No. I need to do more to get my name out there in the writing world. Sure, I’m blogging, podcasting, tweeting and facebooking. I’m querying and submitting to contests and publishers (and soon to agents). It’s not enough. I’ve got to start writing articles and short stories for various markets. I’ve got to get onto forums and special interest groups. Why? Because I can NEVER get my name out into enough places. OK, I think […]
Read moreGet Published Episode 23 – A Chat with author Simon Rose
Repeat after me: “Happy Anniversary, Get Published!” Say it everywhere you go. Shout it from the rooftops. If anyone asks what the heck you’re talking about, send them here. Sound like a plan? Well, maybe not, but I’m certainly pleased to tell you that this is my one-year anniversary episode. I’m even happier to have my friend, Simon Rose as my guest. Simon is an author with six YA Science Fiction and Fantasy novels currently in print. He is a tireless worker (OK, maybe he DOES get tired, but he still works hard) at promoting himself and his books. He is involved in several different capacities within writing and he has a lot of interesting things to say. I hope […]
