MaAH: Special Edition – Interview with Seth Harwood

I interviewed Seth a month ago and finally got the audio cleaned up enough to release. It’s not the best recording, but there’s a lot of good content here from one of the best podcasters in the business, Seth Harwood.

Jack Wakes Up Cover

“Jack Wakes Up rocks! It’s a fast, smooth ride on a highway not found on any map.” — Michael Connelly, #1 New York Times bestselling author

“Readers who like their hard-boiled crime fiction violent and gritty will cheer Harwood’s debut — taut prose and fast pacing bode well for future entries in the series.” — Publisher’s Weekly

Seth and I talk about his podcast novels, his journey to having Jack Wakes Up published (twice), his former job on the floor of the stock market in NYC, his teaching career, Author Bootcamp, HotTub Cast… and much much more!

Enjoy, and look for my first of four interviews with the other Parsec finalists in the category of Best Audio Drama Long Form, posting tomorrow.

MaAH Special Edition: Parsec Finalist Christof Laputka

As promised, I decided to interview the other four finalists in the Best Audio Drama Long Form Category at this year’s Parsec Awards. While I’m ultimately hoping to sabotage all of my competitors by getting them to admit to something horrible… like drinking Miller Lite… or kicking puppies… I’m afraid all I’m really good at is making sure people learn more about these wonderful creators.

Here is the first of my four interviews, this one with Christof Laputka, creator and writer of The Leviathan Chronicles.

Christof is a world traveler, a former finance expert, a Highlander fan, a production whore… and his commitment to his audio drama, in terms of both time and money, is awe-inspiring.

One of the many things I’m looking foward to at Dragon*Con this year is meeting Christof and drinking a beer (or three).

Enjoy!

As promised, I decided to interview the other four finalists in the Best Audio Drama Long Form Category at this year’s Parsec Awards.

Here is the second of my four interviews, this one with Mur Lafferty creator and writer of The Takeover. (Yes, I kn0w at the beginning of the interview I say this is the LAST interview. I’ll be releasing more interviews between now and Dragon*Con).

Mur Lafferty is one of my heroes, as you know, and we talk about The Takeover, about Her Side (the fiction/photography collaboration with the incomparable J.R. Blackwell), the Heaven Series, World Con, and The Parsec Awards.

Video Content… Coming Soon

I just got a new Kodak HD video camera (the Zi8).

I love it, and look forward to capturing more of Dragon*Con this year.

Here’s my first attempt at recording video. Don’t worry, I’ll be sure to look at the camera more next time.

What I say is important, though I need your help. Any suggestions around what video content I should create in preparation for Murder at Avedon Hill’s print release would be awesome!
