Episode 39 – Philippa Ballantine and Geist!

Kimiko — Sat, 23 Oct 2010 04:01:30 +0000

I promised I’d get Pip on the show and I did it! 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!

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!

Episode 38 – Writing Darkly w Chris Lester

Kimiko — Sat, 09 Oct 2010 00:00:09 +0000

I beg Chris Lester begin_of_the_skype_highlighting end_of_the_skype_highlighting, from Metamor City to get online to talk to me about how to write Dark Fantasy because while I am into urban fantasy and it’s sub-genre’s I don’t know much about HOW to write dark fantasy. 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!

“Caged” Up at Erotica Ala Carte

Kimiko — Mon, 27 Sep 2010 05:51:28 +0000

I completed the story, Caged, for Erotica Ala Carte. It’s an adult short story about a shape-shifting cat who gets hired to sneak in to a company for secrets but finds out the job wasn’t exactly what she signed up for!

I’d love to know what you think of it. Leave comments there or here and let me know.

I convinced Paul Jessup to stop by on his Virtual Tour at TaleChasing.

Welcome Paul Jessup to TaleChasing, where I and Terry Mixon from The Dead Robots Society interview him about urban fantasy, his new book WereWolves and many other things. There are a few links below and then names of things we mention in the podcast. I wanted to make sure it got up so here it is. I’ll try and go back later and link the rest.

Places you can find me

Kimiko — Tue, 20 Jul 2010 19:19:48 +0000

Hey gang. I appear on two different sites this month. The first is NOT SAFE FOR WORK. I read the narration and played Zia in the latest Erotica Ala Carte, The Will of the Gods, written by Terry Mixon from the Dead Robot’s Society. Again, it’s an erotic story and not safe for children or for playing at work.

I also spoke over at The Dead Robot’s Society, a great podcast on writing. I spoke with the guys about voice acting.

Enjoy!

Episode 33: Playing Catchup

Kimiko — Sat, 17 Jul 2010 00:43:28 +0000

First let me say…I”m aware that the site is missing it’s links to previous files. 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.
