Writing life with merch on the side

I enjoyed talking with Bill at the User Friendly podcast about the Greenwood Mysteries, author life and offering readers book-related merchandise. You can find the interview in Episode 24 at about 24:40.

Shining some light on writing

Why does a writer from Nebraska set a mystery series in New York State? That’s just one of the things I talked about with Aaron Apollo Camp.

Connecting and creating

Jennifer Carr is a great interviewer and conversationalist. We had an enlightening talk about skill diversification in the creative world, character development and sensitivity in writing.

On the record … about records

Ross and I have a wide-ranging talk covering journalism, marketing, books — even vinyl records. Ross has an easy-going interview style and some interesting insights.

Never Get on the Train!

If you’ve ever tried to catch a train in central Nebraska, this is for you. I was asked to read “Never Get on the Train” for the “Catch the Story” podcast. It’s one of the stories from my second book, “Tasmanian Tigers, True Love and Other Elusive Things.” Give a listen.

Talking ‘Phantoms’ with Salmon

I speak with podcaster, broadcaster, photographer, writer and all-around good guy Josh Salmon about “Phantoms in the Field Zone,” an installment in the Greenwood Mysteries.

Don’t let fear stand in your way

Ever been afraid to do something? You could just try and see what happens. Like writing a book, recording your own music or picking through trash (literally) in the name of journalism. Kim and I discuss.

Get ready for your cue

Michael and I discuss my transition from newspaper reporter, editor and manager to marketing copywriter and independent author.

A squid in a gas station?

I talk with Australia’s own Morgan Quaid about my creative process, the differences between writing short stories and novels and crazy ideas for future projects, like that squid. This guy is too much fun to miss!

Writing in life’s sweetest third

Julia Daily does a great job of not only highlighting but also encouraging writers over 50. She and I talk about my first book, “Lion Taming, Dating and Other Dangerous Endeavors,” as well as comparing and contrasting the writing styles of journalism, marketing and fiction.

Are you ready to kick ass?

Host Terry Lohrbeer and I talk about how Baby Boomers can impact the world by pursuing their passions, such as writing a book.

A lot of talk about silence

Watch as Walt Blau and I talk about silent movies, the newspaper business and storytelling. Walt’s show, now called Be Raw, is always a down-to-earth must-listen for me.
