Hello, my friends.

As you may know I’m self publishing a book in the coming weeks. I’ve heard from some of you looking for more information on self publishing so I’ve made a point to have more guests who have self publishing experience. This episode I will continue in that vein with a great interview with Scott Roche. Scott is one of the editors with Flying Island Press and has come out with a self published version of his book Ginny Dare, Crimson Sand in both paper and eBook formats.

I’ve also had a question come up on both Twitter and my blog from two difference people. That makes it too timely to ignore, so in today’s tips and typos section I try to answer the question, “when do you know it’s time to stop revising your story?”

One last note; I’ve dropped the bit rate of the podcast from 128 Kb to 64 Kb to make the mp3 smaller and faster to download. Please let me know if you notice any real difference. I’ve been wondering for a while if the file size of the show was too big for you listeners and I wanted to do a little experiment here.

Enjoy the show.

Happy May Day to those of you who celebrate it.

We don’t observe May Day in Canada but I still love May 1^st. It has always meant Spring to me and the beginning of great things to come. Maybe it’s because I can finally see the end of another long winter. This year it also helps highlight just how much I have going on. I guess I’d better get moving on all those projects.

Since I wanted to mark the beginning of May in style, I am delighted to have both Jenny Hudock and CA Marshall on the show.

Both are great ladies and people I highly recommend you get to know if you can.

Jenny and I talk about her first venture into self publishing with her book Goblin Market and Cassandra talks about formatting. I learned a lot from both and I know you will too.

So with that, Happy May 1^st and on with the show. Enjoy.
