When I have a minute, I will correct these time stamps, but know they are off by the length of the intro music and pre-interview portion. Sorry!
00:00 Rekka: Okay, everyone I have with me, Nathan R. Sumsion, whose book, Necropolis PD, is coming out this Tuesday, as we’re speaking, from Harvest Press. When you hear this, it will already be out. So, as soon as you get off this interview from your podcast recording, head on— you know what, you can multi-task. Head on over to Amazon right now, or drive yourself to Barnes and Noble, and pick up a copy of Necropolis PD so you get to see what we’re talking about. So hello, Nathan, and thank you for joining us today.
00:29 Nathan: Hello. Thanks for talking to me.
00:31 Rekka: So, this is your debut novel.
00:34 Nathan: It is, yeah. First one.
00:35 Rekka: As it is being recorded right now, we are, we are on Saturday. It’s coming out Tuesday. How do you feel?
Nathan: 00:42 I’m really excited.
Rekka: 00:44 It’s a whole thing, right?
Nathan: 00:44 This is great. Yeah, this has been something I’ve, you know, I’ve always considered myself an author, but not having an actual book out kind of doesn’t meet the definition of an author. So this is—
Rekka: 00:57 That’s a funny one because you hear people talk on— I see a lot of pep talks from professional writers on Twitter and the, there’s like a definition of writer that like if you write, you’re a writer. So there’s a lot of self-rejection for people calling themselves writers. But the word “author” does tend to feel like, okay, where’s your book? If you’re going to call yourself an author.
Nathan: 01:20 Yes.
Rekka: 01:20 I’ve heard arguments against it, but I’m with you. I really feel like the moment you’re published is when you start changing the word writer to author.
Nathan: 01:28 Yes.
Rekka: 01:29 So, congratulations.
Nathan: 01:30 Thank you.
Rekka: 01:31 Alright, so, tell us a little bit about Necropolis PD.
Nathan: 01:35 Well Necropolis PD, you know the tagline, how do you solve a murder in the city of the dead? It’s an urban fantasy horror story about, a kind of a normal, normal young man that gets trapped in a city of the dead and gets recruited to help them solve a crime that’s never happened there before: someone’s been murdered.
