Thank you!It’s Episode 201 of our silly little podcast, so we discuss a significant movie from our youth: 2001: A Space Odyssey. We thoroughly spoil this fifty-six year old movie, but it’s for a good cause because it is one of the greatest movies of our lifetime. This Clarke/Kubrick masterpiece is complex, visual, mind bending, and hopeful. From the opening sequence

Press Release

2024/11/03

Ep 196 of our writer’s podcast for writers is “Press Releases.” With CC’s International podcast award, we found ourselves unprepared to take immediate advantage of the good news. We had to sit down and develop a press release on the fly. This led to entries in our local news papers and a live appearance on KOLO TV in Reno, Nevada. Why do you need a press release, you may ask, if all you’re doing is publishing an independent book to Amazon? Because that little extra bit of attention that you

We talked about those challenges and two book cover contests today: Serving Salvation and Zoey.
