Thanks for playing the voicemail guys. I have always been a fan of Lovecraft’s and just stumbled on this podcast. It is a one of the best out there.

Great interview as well. I am not into the whole “Vamp lit” thing, but she sounded great and the whole interview was a lot of fun. Who knows, I might have to pull one down off the shelf and give it a try.

And yes, I plan on calling in more Mike. I have not had time to sit down to read in months, but have started reading George Man’s Ghosts of Manhatten, so I will call in that review soon. I am very glad to hear about the short stories coming out in e book forms. I am still looking for and hoping a reassurance of magazines like Amazing Stories, ect. Maybe even the one I cut my teeth on as a kid, Weird Tales. I see E books as a perfect format for those.

Just wondering if anyone else is having trouble with the “In Our Time” podcast mentioned in this episode. I wanted to try it out, but all iTunes will show me is one episode that has nothing to do with the Zulu nation… Is it just because I’m stuck using the Canadian iTunes?

Love the show! Just paused 8 mins into podcast. Mike I’m a big fan of In Our Time too. Have you had a chance to go through their archive at http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio4/features/in-our-time/archive/ ? Only bad thing about the BBC is they only leave their podcasts up for the week they publish it. I’ve been listening to dragon page for about a year or so now. I made a new years resolution to leave more feedback so that’s going well. I would definitely be interested in listening to you answer writing related questions and having authors read chapters of theri work. I find all the stuff you say about the way new media is changing traditional publishing very informative but my favourite part of the show is the library segment. Personally I’d like any segment that focuses on the content of novels. Thanks guys

Great episode, though it left me wondering if Mike Stackpole was having a bad day because he used a lot more curses than I’d usually expect. It’s not that it offended me (It didn’t), but it did make me wonder.

What a fantastic episode. Thanks for Tim’s suggestion about the Lovecraft podcast, and it was synchronistically satisfying to hear Stackpole talking about one of my favourite BBC podcasts, In Our Time. I’ve been listening to that ever since I got my first iPod and it has remained interesting and good grist for the writing mill. Charlaine is a laugh riot, and her outlook on the biz is positive as well as entertaining.
