Not least of all because this is not only one of my author friends, but a friend I’ve actually had the pleasure of meeting and hanging out with. I have tremendous admiration and respect for GJ. he has done what I’d be way to chicken to do on my first book. And he did it brilliantly. If you want to self-publish, then I think GJ has a template that works.

Of course, I might be a tiny bit biased since she was such a support and help to me when I first started submitting my draft query letters for feedback over on Absolute Write. But Alice’s books are a much fun to read as she is to know.

What an absolutely delightful guest Jeannie Ruesch is! Her book cover art is stunning. She’s written two books, with a third due out soon. And in this interview she gives insight into the mysterious, behind-the-scenes magic created by those unsung heroes, the book cover artist. Well, at least they are unsung by many readers. Authors on the other hand tend to be fascinated, amazed and grateful when we see a gorgeous cover for our book. (No, I don’t have mine yet, but soon!)

Our latest guest is another of the founding fathers of the steampunk genre, James P. Blaylock. The author of many books in that genre, as well as contemporary fantasy, I had the pleasure of meeting Jim years ago. Many, many years ago. If you love steampunk and contemporary fantasy, then Jim is one author who should be on your Must Read list. A prolific writer, with a distinctive, thoroughly entertaining style, Jim is a delightful guest and a very welcome addition to MythBehaving podcast. This is one show you do not want to miss!

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.

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.

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.

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.
