Sat, 9 September 2006 ![]() Welcome to Episode 10. We have a wonderful flash fiction piece read by the author, David Lee Summers, entitled Cinnamon Hot Chocolate and Gold. I was drawn to the title because I'm a big fan of cinnamon hot chocolate. I guess the dead are too.

He's also the author of numerous science fiction, fantasy and horror short stories and poems that have appeared in such places as Realms of Fantasy and The Santa Clara Review. David also edits the science fiction and fantasy magazine, Tales of the Talisman, serves as a book editor for LBF Books, and a consulting editor for El Paso Community College's literary magazine, Chrysalis.

Tue, 5 September 2006 ![]() Welcome to Episode 9. We have two fantastic books to review -- Brave Men Run by Matthew Selznick and The Golems of Laramie County by Ken Rand. You can purchase both books through www.scifitravelingroadshow.com or you can purchase Brave Men Run from www.bravemenrun.com or listen to it at Podiobooks.com. You can also visit Matt's website at www.mattselznick.com. You can purchase The Golems of Laramie County from www.yarddogpress.com or directly from Ken Rand at http://www.sfwa.org/members/Rand/. Lastly, some of us podcasters have noticed that people are still under the mistaken impression that they need an Ipod to listen to podcasts. While I really love my Ipod, the truth is you don't need an Ipod to listen. To this end, the band, Uncle Seth, has a PSA announcement -- and a darn good one! Check it out here at: http://www.musicpodcast.ca/podcast-psa/ The song, You Don't Need an Ipod, we're playing here is courtesy of the band, Uncle Seth. They've asked that I include these links to their websites on the show notes: http://musicface.com/uncleseth/news.html. Also they'd like me to point out that John C. Havens of the About.com Guide To Podcasting is their co-writer, and to link to http://podcasting.about.com/ as well. Comments[0] |

Today's interview is with THE James K. Burk. James K. Burk was born long, long ago in a place far, far away. He had as normal a childhood as one can expect from someone who grew up to be a critic and writer. He has worked with every building material known to man (how many stone-planers do you know?) Besides reviews in DeLap's F&SF Review and Tangent, his first published work was STRANGE TWISTS OF FATE, a chapbook from Yard Dog Press. Since then, he's had a novel, HIGH RAGE appear and go out of print (from Silver Dragon Books), another YD chapbook, ILLUSIONS OF SANITY, has had stories in several Yard Dog anthologies, especially the Bubbas of the Apocalypse series and will have another novel published. HOME IS THE HUNTER, a science fiction novel, will be half of Double Dog #3, along with Lazette Gifford's FARSTEP STATION. You can find Jim's books by going to www.yarddogpress.com and www.scifitravelingroadshow.com Jim and I had a lot of fun talking and Iâ??d love to share it with you.
Don't forget, we've got a new format. This week was our interview segment -- and supposedly it's shorter than our former podcasts. Well, it allowed us to to have long interview segments. Next time will be the book review part. Give us some feedback at www.scifitravelingroadshow.com and let us know what you think of it all. Also, remember we're now a paying market for flash fiction.
