Review: In Ashes Born by Nathan Lowell

Posted on December 21, 2015 by Michell

Let me begin by telling you what In Ashes Born is not. It is not high adventure in space. It is not filled with battles, semi-clad heroes and heroines and it is not a mile-a-minute adventure. It is also not a predictive, this is the future of humanity, sort of book. If any of those are things you demand in your space-born science fiction you should probably take a pass on this book. Instead, it is a transitional book. It brings Mr. Lowell’s original Solar Clipper Share series into a brand new Solar Clipper Seekers series.

Get Published Episode 118 – Veronica Giguere Talks Audio Books

Posted on September 15, 2013 by Michell

I listen to a lot of podcast fiction and one name that keeps coming up as a narrator extraordinaire is Veronica Giguere.

And today, you will have the opportunity to listen to my interview with Veronica where we talk about audio books and narration and bunch of other things. I also have been working on something with my publisher that I think will be a game changer for any authors out there who do signings and appearances. I talk about that in the Tips and Typos section. Finally, before we […]

JR Murdock, who has done Unorthodox Writing Tips for the show and who also has collaborated on a couple projects with me has, what I consider to be, a crazy goal. He wants to self-publish 28 books in the next 24 months. We talk about his plans and what he has learned about self-publishing.

That’s today’s episode. I hope you enjoy it. Show Notes 00:00 — Opening […]
