This week on The Easy Chair, it’s Mightier Than the Sword, with co-host Steph Spaulding. For all of you writers out there, Steph tells about her experience self-publishing, and offers advice and insight. One Tough Cupcake, Steph’s collection of short stories, is hot off the press, and Steph takes a walk through the process from start to finish, from unexpected stumbling blocks to abundant rewards. Steph also reads my favorite excerpt from her story “Buzz Cut.” This episode is both entertaining and informative. Fans of Steph’s fiction should go to Amazon and pick up a copy of her eye-catching, magical collection of heartfelt and hilarious stories. The holidays are coming, and this book makes a lovely gift for anyone who loves a good read.
