Our own Paul Christian Glenn has graciously agreed to an interview
with Taylor Kent, aka The Snarky Avenger. Taylor typically interviews
one or two people per podcast episode, and appears to have devoted
much or all of this week’s podcast to Ray Gun Revival, Firefly, Space
Opera, and a wide range of other semi-related topics.

Paul hates the sound of his voice and is self-conscious about how he
came off, but I think he did really well from what I’ve heard thus
far. I mentioned to him that Johnny Depp doesn’t watch /any/ of his
films after they’re finished, never sees the final finished product
that we fans see, and that’s likely for the same reason. Therefore,
we should feel free to enjoy the podcast on Paul’s behalf (and then
praise or taut him mercilessly forever after, bwahaha).

That is, I am very grateful to Paul for being Ray Gun Revival’s
‘voice’ in this interview, and hope that there will be many occasions
to come for him to abhor (if you know what I mean).

It’s late and I’d better stop before I compliment him until doing me
bodily harm. ; )

Thanks to Taylor Kent (for the interview and for a lightning-fast
turnaround getting it all produced and up on the web in the space of
one night) and to Paul for representing (as they say in the ‘hood).

DragonKnight, by Donita K. Paul

Filed Under (Writing Stuff) by Phy on 18-06-2006

I was sent an advance copy of an upcoming release by an author I know through The Sword Review and the CSFWA, Donita K. Paul. Her latest novel is DragonKnight, the third in a series with DragonSpell and DragonQuest. I haven’t read it yet, but it is on my shortlist after I finish Cordelia’s Honor, a collection of two books by Lois McMaster Bujold, comprising “Shards of Honor” and the Hugo award winning “Barrayar”. Of DragonKnight, the blurb goes like this:

The lost knights of Paladin are trapped in an evil spell. Bardon is on the way, but the road is fraught with perils he must overcome to reach the chamber and break their bondage with the powerful words of Wulder. DragonKnight is the third in a series of fantasy novels with solid life lessons.

The novel is published by WaterBrook Press and will be available for wide release on June 20th.
