I Get Interviewed Tonight

I'll be on Late Night Jenga Jam tonight at 10:30 PM Eastern. I hope you'll tune in to listen, and that you'll be sending me good karmic vibrations or what have you. I'll be talking about Black Gate, and knowing me, some writing thoughts, opinions on sword-and-sorcery, Robert E. Howard, and Harold Lamb are likely to come up.

You can call in live to the show to ask questions of me or listen to the discussion by calling Talkshoe at (724) 444-7444 then entering the Talkcast ID of 6478

Nice show. :-) Btw, your font size was a bit small, probably a good thing I already wear glasses... Accidental? Or were you just trying to be modest? ;-)
Hmm.. Odd that... Font size is only small on my friends page and normal size on yours... Guess you're not modest afterall ;-)
Glad you liked it. I'm a little modest, but not THAT modest.

The Stentorian Tones of Howard the Cimmerian

Nice show, Howard. It was cool to hear you talk about the stuff you love.
Nice to hear from Ryan, too. Always wondered what his voice sounded like.
So you're on Oprah next?

Re: The Stentorian Tones of Howard the Cimmerian

Yes, first Oprah, then 60 Minutes.
Howard,

Chris and I enjoyed the interview and chat last night. One quick question, if I wanted to listen to it again or look at the chat transcript, do you know of way to do that? Or someone who might know?

Thanks,

Fritz.
Hey Fritz,

Glad you guys were there. If you want to hear it again, head here:

My internet was out last night so I couldn't get it live, but I just listened through the archived episode. A fun conversation, and it was interesting to hear people's voices.

I don't think I'd heard that story about John pulling "Turn Up This Crooked Way" from the slush. In non-me related news, it was interesting to hear the different route you and Ryan took toward the old pulp-stuff.

My own trajectory was almost the opposite of Ryan's: I was reading lots of sf/f in Ballantine paperbacks, so that BB mirror-logo always caught my eye. I picked up one of Chandler's Marlowe novels in a Ballantine edition, thinking it was something else, and was instantly drawn in to the noir stuff.

Chandler's California was strangely like Heinlein's; I felt like I'd been there before.
I have never explored the noir detective writers as well as I should. I'm getting ready to explore some western writers. Eventually I'll get to the detectives...
