Whoo-hoo! I was recently interviewed by Joseph of the small WORLD podcast, and that chat is now out in the wild, available for download!

The small WORLD is one of my very favorite podcasts, because Joseph interviews such eclectic, eccentric and intelligent people. (We’ll consider my appearance on the show a fluke.) I always feel a little smarter after tuning in to one of his ‘casts. It’s a “must subscribe” podcast, no doubt.

So check out the interview here, or directly download the file here. Thanks to Joseph for the interview!

I’m a little late posting this news, but I made a recent “guest host” appearance on The Round Table podcast, a show that explores concepts of mythology in all forms of storytelling — movies, books, role-playing games, the works. The show is a part of the very cool Harping Monkey community.

The conversation’s topic was “Myth in Storycrafting,” and I chatted about how I had applied mythological themes to characters and storylines while writing 7th Son. It was A BLAST to appear on the show, and I want to thank Mick and the gang for inviting me on the program.

So if you’re interested in hearing little ole me pontificate on writing, plot and character, check out Episode 24 of The Round Table here.

If you like what you hear — and are fascinated by mythology and storytelling — be sure to subscribe to the ‘cast!

Now I can’t believe this shit. Too. Cool. For. School.

7th Son has finally “made it,” as far as I’m concerned — the podcast was selected today as Podcast Pickle’s “Podcast of the Day!” Thanks to to Gary and the good folks at the Pickle for their support … and uber-thanks to Keeme, who blessed 7th Son with this honor. I’m humbled and flattered at all the encouragement and support.

So bee-bop over to my Pickle Page and make yourself a fan of the show! And be sure to check out the other exceptional features at the Pickle, including the forums, comments posting for individual episodes and much more!

Taylor, “The Snarky Avenger”, recently reviewed 7th Son on his podcast, Snark Infested Waters. Thankfully, the novel came out of the experience snark-free. In fact, Taylor’s review of 7th Son (and other podiobooks, Infection and Singularity) was glowing.

Thanks, Taylor, for the positive review! And everybody: Be sure to check out the episode here.

And fret not, 7th Son fans … Chapter 8 is on schedule to go live on Tuesday!

7th Son fans are the coolest people in the world. Just check out this flash fanfic sent to me by WarHamster40k, a listener with a wicked sense of humor. Consider this a “deleted scene” from Chapter 6, when the clones stared out at the mammoth MemR/I Array hypercomputer system….

Kilroy 2.0 gazed at the gargantuan holder of zeroes and ones that housed the first 14 years of his life, of their lives. He turned to Dr. Kleinman and asked: “Please tell me this doesn’t run Windows.”

The doctor stopped, wondering if he heard what he thought he did. “Of course not,” Kleinman immediately replied. It was too soon for them contemplate the concept of having a folder marked ‘Solitaire’ buried in their subconscious.

“One day at a time,” Kleinman thought, as they moved on.

Hah! Brilliant! Thanks so much, WarHamster40k, for the support … and for this wily fanfic!
