Our fifth guest is critically acclaimed author of Rock, Paper, Tiger and Getaway, Lisa Brackmann. One of the things I like best about Lisa is her passion. Whether it’s helping a newbie author rewrite her query for the eleventieth time (yes, she did that for me) or talking about China or drug cartels, she is always completely engaged. She’s intelligent and well-read and knows tons about a variety of subjects. That could be intimidating, but Lisa also brings a warmth and generosity of spirit that makes you feel right at home with her.

Read on for a few of the excerpts from Lisa’s thoughts on a variety of topics!

Getting to interview debut mystery author, LynDee Walker, was such a treat! LynDee is the author of breakout novel, Font Page Fatality, which introduces the stylish intrepid reporter, Nichelle Clark. LynDee is another special guest because I’ve known her for over a year and our adventures on the road to publishing were running a parallel track. We even sold our first novels within two weeks of each other. LynDee has some great information for those writers wanting to get published, as well tips about beta readers. I’m lucky and privileged to be one of LynDee’s own beta readers.

 

Want to know more about LynDee and her fun new mystery? Well, read on and we’ll even give you a couple of excerpts!

We were very happy to welcome Gretchen McNeil as our special guest for our third episode. Gretchen is the author of Possess and Ten. I’ve had the pleasure of interacting with Gretchen for the last year in an online writers’ group we both belong to. One of the things that amazes me and that I admire tremendously about Gretchen is her savvy about the publishing industry. She really seems to have her finger on the pulse of what’s going on. Make no mistake: this is one smart lady and she knows her stuff when it comes to writing and the industry.

Gretchen has a special MythBehavior. Listen to her interview to find out what it is!

But meantime, you can also get a couple of wise tidbits from Gretchen’s interview, links to her books and social media by reading on…

Marlene's cat

For our second episode, Carla and I got to interview camera shy Marlene Castricato, one of the founders of Crescent Moon Press. Of course, I’m little biased here, since CMP is my very own publisher, but they were my first choice even before I had a publisher, so I liked them even before I knew them. Did you follow that? Oh, and I do want to clarify that Marlene is not the cat pictured here, but is the cat’s human parent.

Crescent Moon is a boutique publisher of science fiction, fantasy and the paranormal. Marlene has charge of the marketing arm and it was another fun interview for me and Carla. No, no, I didn’t giggle quite as much as last time. Okay, so I really did do some giggling, but I had my mic muted this time. Hey, I’m learning!

For a taste of what Marlene has to say, read on…

Tim PowersI was almost giddy with excitement over our first guest, Tim Powers. Okay, fine, I was totally giddy, as you can tell from my giggling like a schoolgirl. I’ll tell you a secret: I thought my mic was muted and was just enjoying Tim’s answers. It turned out that my mic was live the whole time.

It was a fun interview and I can’t think of a better way to start our podcast series than with Tim. I’ve actually known Tim since we were in college together and it was fun to catch up. Carla had a lot of fun, too. I do think she should have giggled more, though.
