Thinking I disappeared as usual. Ah ha! You were wrong!

As with many of the other things in my possession (recordings to go up on talechasing) here is a long over due interview that some of you were there for and probably don’t remember much of. :) For those who didn’t get to go….enjoy the silliness and the interesting answers that come from Scott Sigler. :)

Only a week til her book comes out but I did it!! So here is my interview with the lovely goddess herself! There are plenty of links to write down so keep your ears open.

As promised I am including a link to Seth Harwood’s “Young Janius” which you can get right here!! I hear it’s awesome – me and my writing schedule don’t allow for such fun things like reading! :P

Also if you haven’t heard I’ve created a place for people who LOVE speculative fiction (this is the wiki link definition) to find their favorite authors and works they might not know about as well as new authors called The Speculative Fiction Database or Specficdb.com for short! So if you are craving fiction go take a look. We’re adding new people everyday. You don’t even have to be IN PRINT….podcasts and epub count! It’s only 1$ to list yourself if you are an author (with a spot in the listing for your stories and books and other goodies to you) – so just go do it already!

If you’d like to be put on the mailing list newsletter (your email will be kept confidential and not sold) sign up here!

So when Pip’s listener’s voted for Dark Fantasy for my erotic story, Caged, I panicked. I knew he’d done a panel at Balticon 2010 that I thought was on this topic and I didn’t go so this is the result of that panic. It’s in “Raw” style. Enjoy!

So here is a short story call “Darkness Day”. This is one of those stories where the author leaves a lot of room for the reader to decide for themselves what is going on. What one person might decide the story is about, another one might find a different meaning in. I would love to hear your thoughts on it and your take on where you think this story is coming from. Feel free to leave a comment, call in, or write me email! Don’t be afraid…there is no total right or wrong answer. I know where I intended it to go but if you found someplace else….that is totally cool too!

I’m back home from Kansas and working on getting the site fixed up. Give me a few days and I’ll have the menu, the images, and the files all back to normal. But I thought it was important to get up a new podcast so here it is! It’s done in Author Note’s Style so there is no editing. In this podcast my mom calls so you kinda hear her and I talk while JR Murdock patiently waits for me to come back! :)

There are many links in this episode that should be listed here and I just don’t have the time right this second to put them up so get your pen handy.  Soon there will be a post link to hear about what’s going on with my health and et al.

PC Haring, my nemisis, asks just about all the questions you probably are wondering about in this Authors Notes which is raw and unedited. You might notice a small echo from PC and I’m sorry but I didn’t have much time to try and work around it. I think it’s still listenable though. :)

Enjoy
