Episode 23 is the first half of my interview with Paulette Jaxton. This was one of my very favorite podcast novels of 2010 ... or any year. When I was surprised at the news that "The Empress Sword" was available, I immediately did 2 things. 1) Put my order in for my paperback & ebook versions & 2) Contacted Paulette about being on the show. Find out why the book and the author are so awesome in this interview. :)(Yes, since the interview an epub version has been released and it is on my e-reader right now!)You can find an audio promo for "The Empress Sword" at http://empresssword.com/wp-content/audio/TES-promo-90-01.mp3 .The large version of the cover image is at http://paulettejaxton.com/wp-content/images/EmpressSwordBookCover_large.jpgYou can find all things Paulette Jaxton at:Web site: http://paulettejaxton.com/Twitter: @PauletteJaxtonWeb site for her book at:"The Empress Sword" - http://empresssword.com/Buy her books at:Paulette's site - http://paulettejaxton.com/Dragon Moon Press:paperback - http://www.dragonmoonpress.com/joomla/index.php?option=com_ecwid&Itemid=#ecwid:category=404662&mode=product&product=2157408ebook - http://www.dragonmoonpress.com/joomla/index.php?option=com_ecwid&Itemid=#ecwid:category=200163&mode=product&product=3650755Amazon - http://www.amazon.com/Empress-Sword-Paulette-Jaxton/dp/1897492243/Kindle Store - http://www.amazon.com/dp/B004SHF3T4Amazon UK - http://www.amazon.co.uk/Empress-Sword-Paulette-Jaxton/dp/1897492243/Amazon Japan - http://www.amazon.co.jp/Empress-Sword-Paulette-Jaxton/dp/1897492243Barnes & Noble - http://search.barnesandnoble.com/The-Empress-Sword/Paulette-Jaxton/e/9781897492246/Podcast version of "The Empress Sword" - http://empresssword.com/podcast-2/episodes/Mentioned:Cast of "The Empress Sword Podcast" - http://empresssword.com/cast/The "Into the Blender" podcast - http://www.intotheblender.com/"Girls' Rules" podcast - http://girlsrules.org/Bumper:Jack Holsey and Meagan - http://www.wanderradio.com/Promos:Podiobooks.com - http://www.podiobooks.com/"The Gearheart" - http://www.thegearheart.com/I can be found and contacted at:Web Site: http://gowmainframe.com/ or http://geekoutwithmainframe.com/Twitter: @mainframe (or @gowmainframe for tweets just about the podcast)Email: gowmainframe at gmail dot comVoice Mail: 206-350-0528Songs used are "Space Ride" & "Around", from the album "Around" by Oursvince at http://www.oursvince.com
