Today we are letting the Wayback Machine take us back to January 15th, 2011. We didn’t have any guests, so this one is just me, Scott Roche, Zach Ricks, and Jeff Hite. Join us as we send up Star Trek captains, self publishing, and author love. And somewhere along the way we actually managed to have a semi-serious discussion about the craft of writing. Give it a listen!

Once again the Wayback Machine provides us with another Galley Table episode. This one was released into the wild on December 25th, 2010. This Christmas present contains special guests Val Ford and David Sobkowiak. Join them and the rest of the panel as we rant about reality tv, passive protagonists, vampires, and fanfic. This is also the episode where Scott decided that I’d done so many episodes of Galley Table that I no longer counted as a guest. [click to continue…]

My second submission to the Every Photo Tells… podcast went live on October 24th, 2010. This story was an interesting challenge. The prompt photo featured a shot of a spooky face graffiti-ed onto a wall, with a man lying on the sidewalk next to the wall and box sitting at his feet. The picture was oddly engaging, but left me confused as to how to proceed. The objects in the image were discordant with each other. They didn’t fit. And that became my hook. They didn’t fit. A man out of place. And that soon became a man out of time. I’ve always been fond of time travel stories, so I wrote one of my own.

Some people fear birthdays. They hide them. They deny them.
Not me.
For me, a birthday is a victory celebration! Another year to stride upon this Earth, win battles, and fight off death for another day. In the end to plunge my banner into the heart of another year and cry to the heavens that this year will not defeat me! I have taken on all that it had to dish out and I remain standing! Victorious!
But not everyone sees it like that.
