Also discussed: Books & Beverages library displays, The Podcaster\u2019s Dilemma, poetry clocks, touching, smelling, and tasting podcasts, and a fantasy novel that\u2019s a collection of found and fragmentary historical documents.

I would write these stories whether they were getting published or not. [\u2026] I don\u2019t have a problem with labeling, as long as it\u2019s not too restrictive or conservative. People do try to hammer me into this little slot, but I don\u2019t let them. I write what I feel like writing.\u201d Suggest a genre or book! Fill out the form to suggest a genre or book!
