Episode 21 – Interview with Mur Lafferty

Kimiko — Sat, 11 Oct 2008 02:53:26 +0000

It took me forever but it’s finally here. My interview with Mur Lafferty is finally finished and up. I want to thank Chris Moody for taking a first pass at the audio while I was working on another project. His help made it possible to get this up a little sooner.

P.S. I think I’m missing episode 20 but who’s to say it won’t find it’s way in the feed someday

Bonus Episode: DragonCon 08 Podcasting for Promotion

Kimiko — Fri, 19 Sep 2008 13:03:19 +0000

While I was at DragonCon I was allowed to record several of the panels. Luckily, the Podcasting Track recorded everything anyway. So for the next little while I’ll be putting up the audio from the panels I think are useful to writing, podcasting your work, etc.

It’s going to take me a while to get to the recordings from the other panels because they will have to possibly be edited then approved by the people on the panels. But there some good stuff about urban fantasy and writing with some awesome authors.

This first panel I’m putting up is Podcasting for Promotion. It is one of the panels that I was on. Here’s the description:
Podcasting has become a powerful tool. Learn different ways to promote just about anything.

Episode 18: Interview with Tee Morris and Philippa Balentine

Kimiko — Sat, 02 Aug 2008 04:26:54 +0000

Episode 18 of Tale Chasing is a real winner. Even though there was some tech problems this has been my most fun interview yet and that’s saying something. I need to provide a warning because by the middle of this your cheeks will be hurting from smiling so much.

This interview is with Tee and Philippa as they prepare for their release of their books to Amazon on 08.08.08

I was anxious to get this interview up. So along with the show notes from PG’s interview I’ll get the show notes up for this one tomorrow as well! Enjoy!

Morning gang! It’s amazing the number of things that can happen over night. So here’s a run down. Please keep in mind I’m running on low sleep so this may being incomprehensible, hard to follow, zany, etc.

SO…..last night I did two amazing interviews back to back cause I’m insane like that. The first was with PG Holyfield, followed up with Mur Lafferty and then I got them to both get on the line for a couple mins of spontaneous chat. I had a great time and both of them were increadibly nice as well as seriously helpful. Right now I’ve managed to slate so many interviews that myÂ plan is to get the interviews in the can and work on them one at a time. This way the people I’ve asked for interviews don’t think I’ve forgotten them. I don’t want to flood the feed with just interviews so I may space them out…but that just means I’ll need to get off my butt and either write (which I plan to do) or discuss something interesting in between.

I’ve changed the sidebar a bit. I took down the polls because not many people were taking them. I think I’ll repost them in blog posts and give them a category for anyone who comes to the site. You’re comments, questions, and suggestions are really important to me and very valuable so please feel free to give your opinion if you find the time. Speaking of polls, I would love to know how many people read the blog as well as listen to the podcast. I’m trying to decide if I should make seperate feeds for both or just keep it in one feed so that info would be helpful. Feel free to just leave a quick comment here if you’d like to answer.

Also changed on the sidebar is the “recent comments” section. This will help you see if there are threads going on to any of the posts you might like to voice an opinion on. I also added a donation button to the side. I do not expect donations. But I will welcome any help keeping the site/podcast running.

In voice acting news, I sent in an audition and recieved an email asking me to audition for another character as well, which was way cool. And lastly, I just found out last night that I will speaking at 11am at PodcampNYC 2.0 on “Podcasting for Authors”. So um…wish me luck! I’ll be taking my ipod and mic and recording it so you’ll all get to hear how it goes.

A day of connections

I was really fortunate today to be able to hook up with Scott Sigler for lunch while he’s here in NYC for a book reading/signing for Infected! Not only did I get to sit down and eat sushi but he was really sweet and helped me answer a few questions related to an audio project (read below) I’m going to possibly get involved with and answered some of my questions about writing, podcasting my writing, and my plot. It wasÂ an extremely useful converstation and well worth the time to trek into NYC for. I sadly wasn’t able to hit his reading because of some other obligations but I have no doubt the man was swamped with fans!

As I mentioned above, I may be getting involved in an audio project that I set in motion in February. I’m keeping the details close to my chest but it looks like I may have an opportunity to record some audio books and I’m really excited about it.

The last bit of really exciting news is that it looks like not only is a comment I made on an article in the SF Chronical online mentioned in an article for today but it’ll be printed in the SF Chronical’s paper tomorrow! The article is about how Seth Harwood and Scott Sigler have made such an impact on the publishing world via their free audio podcast of their work. The Tale Chasing site is actually mentioned and will get the exposure of all of their online and print readers! They asked me yesterday if they could repost my comment and it never occured to me that they’d be ‘printing’ the comment as well. So I’m extremely psyched about that!

As a side note, because people are starting to search for “tail chasing” to find the site, I back ordered the tailchasing.com domain in the hopes that anyone looking for this site can find it. Ok…now I’m off to work on my plot.

I'm on a roll!
