On today’s show I have Ira Nayman, a Canadian comedy writer who has written both books and screenplays. He was also a writer/performer in a comedy troop in the 80′s. Ira and I talk about writing and comedy and several other things that we found funny at the time.

I also provide a review of Ira’s book, Welcome to the Multiverse, Sorry for the Inconvenience.

That’s today’s episode. I hope you enjoy it.

You may not know this, but I have been looking for guests who write outside the normal featured genres on Get Published. Traditionally, I have had lots of Science Fiction and Fantasy writers with the occasional Horror person thrown in for good measure.

This hasn’t been done to exclude all the other genres, I promise you. It is more about who I know in the writing field than any effort to exclude anyone.

That means, I haven’t been networking outside my own chosen genre as well as I should. That is a shame because ALL writers have something to share about their own publishing journeys, market differences and even the various tropes that are inherent to their own genres of choice.

I am happy to have a guest from a new genre today.

My guest today is Nicole Chardenet. She has just released her newest book, Sumer Lovin’ in multiple eFormats with the dead tree version coming out in just a few days.

Sumer Lovin’ is a very different book from what I normally read. It is a comedy of sorts that deals with people trying to find love and lust in Toronto. Definitely not something I normally read. I could tell you what I thought of it now, but that would only spoil the review I will give you in the Tips and Typos section of the book.

 

Regardless of whether it is normally my thing, Nicole and I had a LOT of fun in the interview. Humour is something I am very interested in and the conversation was great. Oh yeah, and did I mention that Nicole’s first book was self-published? Because of that, she was able to give us a comparison between self-published and tradionally published. It was great!

That’s today’s episode. I hope you enjoy it.

Happy Holidays everyone! As a special treat, I am putting the first episode of my new podcast project into the feed.

GalaxyBillies is the story of five hillbillies who are kidnapped by a semi-sentient starship. To say they take the universe by storm would be a MAJOR understatement.

I was checking my notes a couple days ago when I was finishing the first episode and I realized I first had the story idea almost a year ago. It has taken a while to germinate, but I’m very happy with episode one (numbered episode 0).

Have a listen and let me know what you think. If you like it, leave a comment and maybe feedback on iTunes. If you don’t, please let me know that too. I thrive on feedback in case you didn’t already know it.

Enjoy.
