I am delighted to announce this episode’s guest. Tad Williams, author of Fantasy, Science Fiction, comic books and much more joined me to talk about writing and how his career has evolved. For any of you who haven’t spoken to Tad or heard one of his interviews, he is a very interesting person. He had lots to say about his career and the business of writing in general.

I also have a writing question from DanDantheArtMan about $100 words. And don’t forget to visit Paulette Jaxton at http://empresssword.com. Paulette purchased a sponsorship as part of the Boom Effect auction. Even if she hadn’t I would recommend her podcast. It is well worth listening to.

This a monster sized episode but a good one.

Thanks for listening.

OK, I know it has been three weeks since the last episode of GalaxyBillies and for that I apologize. As you may (or may not) know, I sold a character spot for GB on TheBoomEffect. That spot was purchased by MegaDan Scholes. This is the first episode that his voice will appear. I created a special new spot for him that I think will be a lot of fun going forward.

I’d love to hear what you think.

In this episode the humans finally get off Sin Station (or do they?). We also find that the galaxy at large is starting to notice them. For better of worse, they are out there.

I’m still waiting for suggestions around what you, my fans, want to be called. Maybe you don’t want to be called anything at all. That’s fine too. Just let me know, OK?

There have been a few of you (maybe more that I’m not aware of) spreading the word. Please continue to do so. I have also created a Group (http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=372503069110&ref=ts) and a Fan Page (http://www.facebook.com/pages/Michell-Plesteds-GalaxyBillies/406961900026?ref=ts) on Facebook. If you feel so motivated, please join one or both.

Enjoy the episode.
