Hello from Portland, Oregon, our second Portland this year after our trip to Maine.Episode 181 is a shorter podcast (with no video) as we are on yet another road trip, this time up the northern leg of Interstate 5 with the ultimate destination of someplace in British Columbia, Canada.

Episode 179 of our writers’ podcast for writers is about the evolution from science fiction to science fact in our lifetimes. CC and I grew up in what some may call a “golden age” when we watched how technologies dreamt about on TV and in books became reality. We only have to look at our phones and watches as proof.We discuss how the technological evolution affected our own books, notably my in-progress manuscripts lovingly called The Space Epic. We also chat about our other works in progress and

Thank you!Episode 178 is another look in the sausage-making art of writing a book. This podcast touches on the things that writers do to get words on a page, tasks that “normal” people might find weird or at least a tad abnormal. The key words spoken are “plotter” and “pantser.” We dive into our current projects and we look back at the first half of 2024. What a wild

Know a writer or someone who wants to be a writer? Then forward this post to them and invite them to listen to our writers podcast. Thank you! We recently celebrated our 42nd anniversary, so Episode 175 of our podcast for writers is about the challenge of familiarity. We love to watch and read about new romances, and as writers, those books are relatively easy to write. Think Romeo and Juliet and The Taming of the Shrew (or 10 Things I Hate About You). The steeper climb is writing a book about the

Episode 172 takes us back to our Big A** Trip and what we learned from having our “boots on the ground.” For this podcast, we talk about the surviving remnants of an American-built extreme clipper ship, the Snow Squall. Clippers were cargo ships built for speed over capacity, and extreme clipper ships were especially fast, though their construction era in America was relatively short (1845 to 1855).There is only one surviving piece of an American extreme clipper, and the Maine Maritime Museum has

What would I tell non-writers about writing? Being interviewed is an interesting process and its own art. Have a listen and let us know what you think through our
