The Sample Chapter Podcast

SciFi/Dystopian author, Anne Joyce is our delightful guest this week! Along with reading a sample chapter from her latest book, Arid, we also discuss her childhood writing and poetry and how that not only entertained her family but gave her an outlet for the trauma she was going through. We also discuss her other influences and getting back to writing after an extended break.

Award-winning horror author, Ken Stark is our guest this week! From his zombie-filled Stage 3 series to the infested pages of Jitters, Ken's work is sure to creep you out and have you hiding under the covers at night. But you'll see that Ken himself is as soft-spoken and humble as they come as we discuss his characters, a love for painting and more before diving into a sample chapter of Arcadia Falls.

We take our first trip to Australia with this week's guest author, Chris Rosser. Originally from the UK with dreams of being an archeologist, Chris and I talk about first book jitters, blogging to find your voice and locations that inspire our writing. Then Chris reads a chapter from Weaver's Boy that is particularly spectacular as it was done in his own studio!

After a long bout of illness and technical issues, we're back with our first Author Sample Chapter of 2019! Lee Blauersouth (pronounced just as it looks) is a mental health therapist and comic creator from Minnesota who joins us with her first novel in the Second Sentinels series. We discuss her history in comics and how it became her own source of creative therapy eventually leading to her first book. It's fascinating to note that she features four main characters that are split into parts of each chapter. Listen in as she reads two of those parts from Chapter One!
