PODCAST: IJM invades the Sci-Fi Shenanigans Podcast

by Leave a Comment

Did an interview recently with the Sci-Fi Shenanigans Podcast that was a lot like taking a trip to the local buffet. For starters, we steer completely off the reservation in the first five minutes with a full-blown foodie discussion then roll tastefully through every topic imaginable from writing to geek stuff, and yes, even a little sports talk.

Thanks again to JR and Christopher for having me. This was a fun one!!!

Got to talk scifi, writing, Mako, and more with Raymond Bolton of The Write Stuff blog. You can find the full interview here!

About the blogger:

Raymond Bolton lives near Portland, Oregon with his wife, Toni, and their three cats, Georgie, Sophia & Courtney. Reviewers have been generous with praise, offering such comments as, “Eschewing the more commonly overt manifestations of alien technology and the well toted elements of fanciful magic, Bolton breathes originality into the genre with his singular focus on telepathy.”

In the May edition of Bull Specs “The Hardest Part,” I discuss the challenges of writing Red Sky Dawning, and what it means to be a legally blind author.

About this publication:

BULL SPEC was founded in November 2009, and published its first issue in March 2010. While the goalposts move a bit, I’m trying to be a strong voice for Triangle- and North Carolina-area speculative fiction.
