Is there anything Rocky Mountain Fiction Writers doesn’t do for its members (and all writers for that matter)? Not too much. One of the newest offerings is a series of podcasts that features a variety of professionals to entertain and enlighten all those who tune in. Hosted by Mark Stevens, the podcasts are another great way to meet RMFW members and Colorado Gold guests.
The link to the most recent podcast was posted just this week. Featuring two of the three finalists for Rocky Mountain Fiction Writers of the Year, Susan Spann and Cindi Myers, the panel took place at the downtown Denver Tattered Cover in August. Tune in to hear these two authors discuss their writing lives and offer advice based on their own experiences. The third finalist, Joan Johnston, was unable to attend.
The podcast posted at the end of August featured long-time RMFW member and volunteer, Mario Acevedo. His focus was on the Sept. 5 workshop held in Grand Junction: “Everything You Need to Know About the Next RMFW Anthology.”
Mario, who has agreed to step in as editor for the anthology, talks about the submission schedule and selection process and reveals the selected theme. In addition, Mario talks about writing short stories and about his ongoing series featuring vampire Felix Gomez. If you think you’ll want to submit a story for consideration in the anthology, you might want to check out Mario’s podcast.
The previous interview was with one of the Colorado Gold keynote speakers, erotic romance writer Desiree Holt. In this podcast, Desiree chatted about her six series of books, her daily writing schedule and a preview of the three classes she will be teaching at the Rocky Mountain Fiction Writers Colorado Gold Conference this weekend.
The podcast before that featured Aaron Michael Ritchey, a highly productive writer and frequent workshop presenter. He’ll participate in three writing workshops at Colorado Gold Conference. He talks about his daily dedication to writing and the series he’s producing for WordFire Press called The Juniper Wars. As he puts it, the series is “cowgirls with machine guns on a post-apocalyptic cattle drive.” Aaron is the author of three books–The Never Prayer, Long Live the Suicide King and Elizabeth’s Midnight. He is also the author of numerous collaborations and short stories, including a story in the upcoming Nightmares Unhinged, an anthology from Hex Publishers.
