More may come when the host gets off his lazy... Anyway, this is the pilot episode of a new interview-style podcast that will not be hosted on this RSS feed. My apologies to anyone who may be confused about this.

In unrelated news, I am at work on a new novel that should hit stores within a few months of a publishing house buying it. When that happens...who knows. They'll probably want me to finish writing it first. Until later...keep on writing.
