admin — Sat, 10 May 2008 02:55:57 +0000

I’m talking to the queen of erotic gay romance on this podcast…Carol Lynne. What got her writing gay romance to begin with? Are there too many gay romances on the market? And is Kansas really the dustbowl I’ve always thought it to be? All these questions will be answered, so make sure you tune in and have a listen.

This time it’s a mutiple personality, Marlene Satter aka Lee Barwood at the transoceanic mic. Oh, the topics we cover; from financial self-help to the therapeutic value of music; from pitfalls for the newbie author to the new sub-genre of ecological fiction. And we also touch upon New Jersey and have a whole lotta laughs. Make sure you have a listen!

28-Mar EDIT: And the podcast has been remastered for better volume management.

11-Mar EDIT: Now that I have a multi-voice podcast finally complete, I’ve been comparing it to other podcasts and notice that it’s very soft (that is, you really have to crank it up to hear anything). I’ll be working on that for next month’s podcast. Still on the learning curve … can you tell?

9-Mar EDIT: The podcast’s audio sounded okay through the headphones but, on replay through speakers, the volume range was too much for comfortable listening. I have smoothed out the variations and replaced the MP3 and OGG files. Something new to learn every day! Thanks for your forebearance.
