    Author Erik Buchanan

    I had the privilege to interview the amazing and very knowledgeable Erik Buchanan this week.  He was delightful and very helpful.  This is one of those podcast episodes you shouldn't skip, as his advice is very informative and necessary in this game of being your own publisher.  We talk writing process, marketing, and various other indie publisher topics.  You shouldn't stop there, though, because he's written a few books.  His latest, The Trials of Abyowith is a page turner for sure, and you can get it FOR FREE by going to his website and signing up on the mailing list.

    Jason Meuschke - Author of "Nine Mile Bridge" and "A Novel Idea"

    On this episode I had the pleasure of interviewing Jason Meuschke (pronounced "my-ski") about his new book "A Novel Idea" and just about the writing process.  Jason and I go way back, as he was, and still is, a fan of my old podcast "Fanboys on Fiction" so many years ago.  Jason has been on a long journey with writing, and we discuss everything from coming up with a great story to creating characters and book marketing.

    CLICK HERE to go to Jason's website where you can find out all about him, his books, and his love of sports fishing.

    What Makes a Great Story with Trey Cabler

    What Makes a Great Story with Trey Cabler

    I was able to sit down and interview my former student teacher about story.  What you have in this podcast is two English teachers who have studied fiction for most of our lives providing observations about what makes a great story. Trey Cabler also has a wonderful podcast called "Teacher's Pet" where he interviews average teachers about their thoughts on the state of education in the United States.  You should check it out!
