I had the pleasure of being interviewed by Amanda Cales and Justin Macumber from the excellent Dead Robot’s Society podcast, and they agreed to let me post the audio in my feed. I’ve known Amanda since our days posting in the I Should be Writing forums, so the interview was fun and I think it turned out well.

On episode 22 I mentioned that I’m running a contest. The details are below, but there is one major change: the contest will run until the end of June, not the end of May.

What do you do?

Between now and June 30, submit a review at iTunes and/or leave a comment on The Caern Line (the voice line at 704-315-5884). If you do one or the other, you get one entry into the contest. If you do both, you get two entries.

Anyone that has previously left a review on iTunes or left me a voice mail is grandfathered into the contest.

But in either case (grandfathered or new), you only be officially entered if you send me an email with the subject line MaAH Contest #1, with your name and email address, plus a description of what you did (name on the review or date you left a voice mail). That way I can contact you if you win.

What do you get?

On July 1st, 2008 I will take all the entries and draw a winner (on video). That person will win a t-shirt of their choice from the official MaAH Spreadshirt store. Also, if I get more than 20 reviews on iTunes before the end of June, I will give away schwag to multiple entrants (prizes T.B.A.).

Details (From the Meetup group site)

“The Raleigh “Write 2 Publish” Writers Group is holding a panel discussion on the topic of “Podcasting, Blogs, and Self-Publishing: New Ways to Reach Audiences with Your Book” with authors P.G. Holyfield, Mur Lafferty, and Elisa Lorello.

As traditional publishing gets increasingly harder to crack, authors are finding non-traditional ways to build an audience. Our purpose is to explore the latest non-traditional pathways that authors are taking to reach bestseller status.

This should be extremely insightful, and afterwards, you’re invited to join us for food and drinks at TK Tripps, adjacent to Quail Ridge Books.”

My note: I hope everyone in the Raleigh area will come to Quail Ridge Books, one of the best independent bookstores in North Carolina, to see me… or at least to see the great Mur Lafferty. Thanks to Stacey Cochran for putting this panel together and hosting the event.

A promo for the event will appear in Ep. 21. It is also located on the sidebar!! Anyone that has a podcast, please play it!
