I met David B. Coe at a local convention last year when we both sat a writing panel for beginners.  He sat at one end of the panel table and I sat the other. Pretty appropriate when you compare our writing journeys thus far.

We were chatting after the panel and I asked if he would be interested in coming on Get Published. He gave me a hearty yes and we exchanged contact information. I am pleased to say that you will hear our discussion today.

I knew even before we connected that it would be a great conversation. David is a great writer who has already had a long and successful career. I was pretty confident that we would exceed my normal interview length and I wasn’t wrong.  Because I don’t want to break the interview into two episodes and because I don’t want to go too far past the one hour mark, I will not have a tips and typos section in this episode.

One last thing; the Parsec awards nominations are now open for 2011. If you have listened to this show and enjoyed it, I would appreciate a nomination. The category that best suits Get Published is “Best Podcast about Speculative Fiction Content Creation”.

I would also love a nomination for GalaxyBillies in Best Speculative Fiction Audio Drama (Long Form).

Thank you for your consideration and enjoy the show.

Hello Everyone and thank you for joining me. In this week’s episode of Get Published I had the pleasure of speaking with Lorna Suzuki. Lorna Suzuki is a full-time scriptwriter specializing in biographic documentaries for TV. She is also the author of both the Imago series and the new Young Adult Fantasy series, The Dream Merchant Saga. If that weren’t enough, she has over 25-years of experience in various forms of martial arts and is a 4-dan practitioner and instructor of Bujinkan Budo Taijutsu.

I also did a review of Terry Pratchett’s latest release, “I Shall Wear Midnight”, another tale of Tiffany Aching and the Nac Mac Feegle. Finally, I talk a little about my own writing projects.

I hope you enjoy the show.
