Jennifer Rahn is the author of two novels, The Longevity Thesis and Wicked Initiations, and has two short stories published or accepted; the first is ElectroFunkSepukku, which appeared in Dragon Moon’s Podthology, and the second is Metal Rat and the Brand New Jungle, which is slated to appear in the inaugural edition of Space Puppet Press’ Strange Worlds anthology. She wrote her first novel, The Longevity Thesis, while in grad school and vehemently denies that her graduate supervisors resemble in any way, the villain of her novel — it’s just for fun. She’s still academically active and enjoys writing and kickboxing when not in the lab. She talks about her books, how she fits her writing into a life that includes a full-time job and how she goes about promoting her books.
In the feedback section of the show I talk about some of the first things I learned in my writing course and why they have been so useful to me.
I hope you enjoy it.

The weather is cooling off, the sun is going down earlier and the kids are back in school. It must be fall. Time to switch gears once again.
Fall means a lot of changes to my schedule. I add both Scouts and Cub Scouts to my week (Scouts are Monday and Cubs are Tuesday), plus campouts. That sucks a lot of time. Time I’ve been using to write and podcast.
So what do I give up?
Well, actually, I’m not going to give anything up. Part of the reason for that is I will be finishing GalaxyBillies in the next two weeks so that writing and podcasting will go away for now.
Mind you, I am going to be adding several new short stories and a new writing project as well so that time will disappear almost immediately.
The only thing left is television and I don’t watch much of that now. The only thing I can do is set writing priorities and work through them. That and ensure that I do some writing every day.
My projects may be a bit slower, but I’ll still get them done and I’ll continue to improve my skills.
Personal Update
One more episode of GalaxyBillies to write and podcast. I’m excited to be finished but sad at the same time. I’ve also got four different anthologies that I want to submit to and a new project coming up. It’s going to be busy but fun.

The fleets face each other and the battle begins. Is this the final battle? Will Greklor get his or will he get away?
I want to invite you to keep sending your Easter Egg guesses and Kinfolk name requests. The two people with the most correct guesses will join me on the End-of-Episode show.
I would also like to invite you to send your comments, feedback and questions to galaxybillies at irreverentmuse dot com or to my voicemail line at 206.203.2031. I’ll play any I get prior to September 25 on the final episode.
I also have two Facebook groups for GalaxyBillies. Friends of GalaxyBillies and Michell Plested’s GalaxyBillies. I’d love to have you join.
Thanks for listening.
