Geek Out! with Mainframe

Episode 24 is the second half of my interview with Paulette Jaxton. I love this book so much that we spent both halves of the interview talking about the book and the delightful podcast version. I am looking at my paperbook right now and the epub version is on my e-reader.

Episode 23 is the first half of my interview with Paulette Jaxton. This was one of my very favorite podcast novels of 2010 ... or any year. When I was surprised at the news that "The Empress Sword" was available, I immediately did 2 things. 1) Put my order in for my paperback & ebook versions & 2) Contacted Paulette about being on the show. Find out why the book and the author are so awesome in this interview. :)(Yes, since the interview an epub version has been released and it is on my e-reader right now!)You can find an audio promo for "The Empress Sword" at http://empresssword.com/wp-content/audio/TES-promo-90-01.mp3 .The large version of the cover image is at http://paulettejaxton.com/wp-content/images/EmpressSwordBookCover_large.jpgYou can find all things Paulette Jaxton at:Web site: http://paulettejaxton.com/Twitter: @PauletteJaxtonWeb site for her book at:"The Empress Sword" - http://empresssword.com/Buy her books at:Paulette's site - http://paulettejaxton.com/Dragon Moon Press:paperback - http://www.dragonmoonpress.com/joomla/index.php?option=com_ecwid&Itemid=#ecwid:category=404662&mode=product&product=2157408ebook - http://www.dragonmoonpress.com/joomla/index.php?option=com_ecwid&Itemid=#ecwid:category=200163&mode=product&product=3650755Amazon - http://www.amazon.com/Empress-Sword-Paulette-Jaxton/dp/1897492243/Kindle Store - http://www.amazon.com/dp/B004SHF3T4Amazon UK - http://www.amazon.co.uk/Empress-Sword-Paulette-Jaxton/dp/1897492243/Amazon Japan - http://www.amazon.co.jp/Empress-Sword-Paulette-Jaxton/dp/1897492243Barnes & Noble - http://search.barnesandnoble.com/The-Empress-Sword/Paulette-Jaxton/e/9781897492246/Podcast version of "The Empress Sword" - http://empresssword.com/podcast-2/episodes/Mentioned:Cast of "The Empress Sword Podcast" - http://empresssword.com/cast/The "Into the Blender" podcast - http://www.intotheblender.com/"Girls' Rules" podcast - http://girlsrules.org/Bumper:Jack Holsey and Meagan - http://www.wanderradio.com/Promos:Podiobooks.com - http://www.podiobooks.com/"The Gearheart" - http://www.thegearheart.com/I can be found and contacted at:Web Site: http://gowmainframe.com/ or http://geekoutwithmainframe.com/Twitter: @mainframe (or @gowmainframe for tweets just about the podcast)Email: gowmainframe at gmail dot comVoice Mail: 206-350-0528Songs used are "Space Ride" & "Around", from the album "Around" by Oursvince at http://www.oursvince.com

Episode 22 is the second half of my interview with Philippa Ballantine and Tee Morris, as part of the "Ministry of Peculiar Occurrences" Internet tour.

Our guests for Episode 21 are Philippa Ballantine (gracious as always, returning to the show) and Tee Morris (coming back to fiction in force in a major way). Those of you who have heard other interviews with them will know what to expect - awesomeness! If you have not, then prepare to go all over the place in the best possible way.Their book, "Phoenix Rising: Ministry of Peculiar Occurrences" is THE book I'm most excited about for 2011! I say that, because I know that it is going to be a lot of fun. Between plenty of action, and banter written by master practitioners of the craft; the awesome WILL be brought! Steam Punk, strong characters, explosions, snark .... and that's just in the first chapter ...I have my pre-order in and after you listen to Tee & Pip, you'll know why! :)You can find the audio promo for "Tales of the Archives" at http://www.ministryofpeculiaroccurrences.com/2011/02/27/podcast-promos/You can find all things Ministry of Peculiar Occurrences at:Web Site: http://www.ministryofpeculiaroccurrences.com/Twitter: http://twitter.com/BooksAndBraunWhrrl: http://whrrl.com/k/zc7/blUClBuy the book/ebook at: http://www.amazon.com/Phoenix-Rising-Ministry-Peculiar-Occurrences/dp/0062049763/ref=as_li_wdgt_js_ex?&camp=212361&linkCode=wey&tag=theofficiw092-20&creative=380725You can find all things Tee Morris at:Web sites: http://teemorris.com/http://www.imaginethatstudios.com/http://www.idguardian.com/Twitter: @TeeMonster @ITStudios@IDGuardianBuy his books at:Amazon - http://www.amazon.com/Tee-Morris/e/B002BM9TVG/ref=ntt_athr_dp_pel_pop_2Barnes & Noble - http://productsearch.barnesandnoble.com/search/results.aspx?store=book&ATH=Tee+MorrisOn Podiobooks.com:"Billibub Baddings and the Case of the Singing Sword" - http://www.podiobooks.com/title/billibub-baddings-and-the-case-of-the-singing-sword"Morevi: The Chronicles of Rafe and Askana (Remastered)" - http://www.podiobooks.com/title/morevi-remasteredReviews of his podcast novels at "View From Valhalla":"Billibub Baddings and the Case of the Singing Sword" - http://www.viewfromvalhalla.com/2009/11/15/podcast-review-billibub-baddings-and-the-case-of-the-singing-sword/"Morevi: The Chronicles of Rafe and Askana (Remastered)" - http://www.viewfromvalhalla.com/2010/04/12/podcast-review-24-morevi-the-chronicles-of-rafe-and-askana-remastered/You can find all things Philippa Ballantine at:Web site: http://www.pjballantine.comFacebook: http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=62015834848&ref=tsTwitter: @PhillipaJaneGeek Out!

Episode 20 is the second half of my interview with Brand Gamblin. We start off with a "scoop" about Brand's next project!  I so000 need to get him back on to discuss steam punk (maybe along with another steam punk author or two?) and definitely when this next book comes out.  Hint to other guys who do interviews similar to mine:  Get Brand on your shows.  Listeners, I think you are going to enjoy this episode :) If you haven't listened to the first part of the interview, you can find it here.

Episode 19 is the first half of my interview with Brand Gamblin. Like an onion, "The Hidden Institute" has layers .... LAYERS O' AWESOME! Between the writing, the podcast audio production, and all the touches that Brand brings to to table; I love this book. And it has (wait for it) BEAR POLO!! We get as much into why the book is great as we can without the spoilers. Of course, Brand and I find other stuff to talk about ... but why are you still reading this ... please go listen to the episode now!

Episode 18 is the second half of my interview with J. Daniel Sawyer. I try to keep up with Dan for another hour. Perhaps not all that well, but I have fun trying :) If you haven't heard the first half of the interview, please check it out here .

Episode 17 is the first half of my interview with J. Daniel Sawyer.  If Dan doesn't know something about media creation, it probably isn't worth knowing. ... O.K. that may be an exaggeration, but probably not by as much as one might think.  His original full cast audio novel "Down From Ten" left me guessing until the very end (in the good kind of way).  If you don't know Dan, get going and listen to the interview.  If you do know about him, you probably haven't read this far without listening to the interview first anyway :)You can find all things J.

Episode 16 is the second half of my interview with writer, novelist, podcaster, and really nice human being Arlene Radasky.

She is the author of the historical fiction (with a little fantasy added in for good measure) novel "The Fox". "The Fox" was inspired by the archaeological find know as "Lindow Man" (Wikipedia article at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lindow_Man), so the book appeals to the science & history geek in me as well as its being a well done story.
