After mentioning me and Blood Game at the start of the podcast, you have to wait until about the 52:23 mark before my 25-minute interview begins. But as a bonus, when they’re done talking to me, one of the hosts and one of the fans of the podcast compete in a trivia contest about my book. It’s pretty cool! Check it out if you haven’t already. The Spotify link if below, but you can also find this wherever else you get your podcasts.

It was a little bit of wish fulfillment getting on that show, because I’ve been a fan of it for … jeez … I’m not even sure. Four or five years, I’d guess. Since whenever it was I first stumbled onto it, during COVID quarantine probably.

And in the wake of this podcast, I’ve been invited onto “Indie Author Reads,” to record an episode that’ll probably air in late April or early May. This one will be me reading an excerpt or two from Blood Game, and talking to the host before and after and maybe in-between.

In the mean time, I’m still scoping out book conventions and other opportunities to do book signings. And I’m waiting on information about whether Blood Game will be nominated for awards. I should get the first information about that sometime in the next month.

In other words, I’m doing all the things authors are supposed to do, except … I’m not spending as much time writing as I probably should. I need to work on my time management, as well as the resilience to keep on churning out the words no matter good and bad directions life pulls me.

So back to the writing then. I’m about 17,000 words into the first draft of Book 3, a.k.a. Drawing Dead, and it’s long past time I kicked that into a higher gear.
