I try to take events and mentally catalog them for use in future books. That’s one of the reasons I like to sit and watch people. It helps me to make the interactions in my stories more realistic. In this episode, I will be talking about taking life and translating it into stories in the tips and typos section. I am also pleased to have my co-editor, Jeff Hite on the show. We talk about A Method to the Madness: A Guide to the Super Evil and some of the things we have been and will be doing to promote it.

Modesitt Jr. I was excited when he agreed to come on the show and even more so to talk to him in person. The interview went long so I’m going to be breaking it up into two parts. One will air this week and the other next week. I didn’t want to make you wait two weeks for the whole thing. I also caught wind of an internship opportunity […]

Hello, my friends. As you may know I’m self publishing a book in the coming weeks. I’ve heard from some of you looking for more information on self publishing so I’ve made a point to have more guests who have self publishing experience.
