Kimi Alexandre of Tale Chasing sat down with me for a great conversation about Metamor City, urban fantasy, the craft of writing, and why we crazy authors do what we do. We had so much fun that we had to break the interview up into two parts to make it all fit. :)
I’ll post part 2 tomorrow. For now, enjoy the first half of the interview!
The following were referenced during the interview — big thanks to Kimi for hunting down all the links:

John Hollywood (www.xanga.com/briarsxinxmyxsoul) sat down with me recently for a very thoughtful, in-depth interview with lots of insightful questions.
Unfortunately, we were plagued with the Skype Connection From Hell, so we had numerous stops and starts before finally giving up and recording our questions and answers separately. What resulted was an interview that I hope was worth all of the effort we both put into it. 
Enjoy!
Warning: John’s blog is rated for adults-only, so the intro sequence is designed to scare away anyone who might be offended by anything he discusses on his show. Our actual conversation was much more PG-rated.

The Raleigh Write 2 Publish Meetup Group is putting together a panel on Saturday, May 17th entitled “Podcasting, Blogs, and Self-Publishing: New Ways to Reach Audiences with Your Book.” Two proud citizens of Metamor will be appearing as guests at this panel: the mighty Mur Lafferty and my arch-nemesis P.G. Holyfield. If you’re going to be in the Raleigh-Durham area on the 17th, stop in at Quail Ridge Books & Music at 6:30 PM and show your support! (Hint: Mur likes pie.)

Hey there, Metamorphs! By now you’ve probably noticed the website’s new look — but did you also notice the new cover art at the About Metamor City page?
Here we see David Silverleaf and Kathryn Kitaen, MCPD detectives, investigating a crime scene on the Street. David keeps an eye out for trouble while Kate prepares an augury spell, which will hopefully reveal more about what happened to this unfortunate soul. This picture was done by the amazingly talented Jeff Himmelman; you can find more of his work at www.somniturne.com.
The version on the web can’t do justice to how gloriously awesome this picture actually is, so I’m attaching a PDF of a higher-resolution version and sending it out on the feed. Keep an eye out for posters and postcards of this art to be made available soon!

Through the magic of Skype, I sat down with Irish Metamorph Stephen Kilbride for Episode One of his Tea and Chat podcast. Listen as we discuss the origins of Metamor City, the challenges and joys of working with voice actors, and my advice for new authors — as well as a few surprise questions that Stephen manages to spring on me…

Continuing my virtual press junket as we head toward Balticon, I had a great chat with Jack Hosley of Wander Radio (109.9 WNDR, almost on your radio dial!). Listen as he asks me about blending genres, podcasting while writing, working with a small army of voice actors, and where I see the world of podcasting going in the future…

As the telepaths lay one of their own to rest, Daniel makes a choice that will have a dramatic impact on his future. Much to his surprise, he then has a run-in with one of his erstwhile partners, who has some ideas that could change Daniel’s life even more dramatically.
