Podcast?
I listen to a lot of podcasts. Thing is, no one out there was doing exactly the kind of one I wanted to be hearing, so I’ve taken it upon myself to fill that void.

I love books and I love my fellow authors. I am pretty keen on celebrating that. I wanted a place where I could talk about all things happening within my chosen genre, all the things I love in fantasy, science fiction, even some crossover into paranormal romance, including weekly segments focused on: breaking news, upcoming titles, interviews with guest authors from every point in their various careers, upcoming book tour info, convention news, and just overall general discussion of our genre.
Parts of the podcast will be reader focused, but there will also be parts coming up for those who are writers, including interviews with professionals of all walks of life from within the world of publishing itself. When we can, we’ll talk with editors, artists, publicists, you name it.
So listen to the podcast and "Like" our Facebook page. That's where we'll be holding discussions on each of the shows.Questions or Interested in sponsoring the podcast?
