In other news, my allergies are really bad today. Like, really bad. How are you?

Scott Garson is the man behind Wigleaf, one of the very best online fiction journals there is, and his most recent book is a fantastic story collection called Is That You, John Wayne? (Buy links, review blurbs, even tour schedule here!) Scott took some time to talk to me about his new book, as well as reading one of the collected stories, and talked about this year’s Wigleaf Top 50 and the state of short fiction in general. Enjoy!

Thanks to Elderlemon Design, At the Meade Bed & Breakfast has a great new look, and to celebrate, I’m making it free for the next week on Kindle (UK readers click here). So please download the ebook — which contains “At the Meade Bed & Breakfast” by me and Dave, as well as two bonus stories, one by Dave, one by me, and an author conversation — and help spread the word. It’s FREE!

Denise Kiernan is the New York Times bestselling author of The Girls of Atomic City: The Untold Story of the Women Who Helped Win World War II. Since the novel’s release less than a month ago, Denise has appeared on The Daily Show with John Stewart, MSNBC’s Morning Joe, and The Cycle, as well as been featured on PBS and NPR. And all of it has led up to this podcast, where we discuss the novel, how Denise came up with the idea, and everything that has happened since the book’s successful release. Be sure to check out The Girls of Atomic City (seriously, it’s a great book!), and definitely check out the special The Girls of Atomic City website, as well as Denise’s Tumblr page.

There’s still some time (but not a lot of time) left to enter the giveaway at Steve Umstead’s blog to win a digital copy.

The paperback retails at $9.95, but right now Amazon has it priced at $6.56, which is over 30% off! Seriously, that’s a great price, so grab it if dead trees are your thing.

Finally, remember that Monday night I’ll be doing a reading here at 8:00 pm EST. Hope you can make it.

Steve Umstead invited me to talk about Walk the Sky and Westerns in general at his blog, where I’m also offering up five free copies of the book if you participate in the comments section.

Four copies of the paperback are up for grabs via Goodreads.

The book hasn’t even been out a week and already it’s cracked the Kindle top 100 for horror. As I write this, it’s currently #67, but that’s likely to change in the next hour. Fingers crossed that the ranking will go up, but more than likely it won’t. Still, thanks so much to everyone who’s purchased a copy so far. You’re the best. I really wish Dave was still alive to see this. I’m sure he would be thrilled.

I believe Thunderstorm Books still has a handful of the limited edition hardcovers left, signed by both me and Dave. For those who pre-ordered the paperback, those should be shipped out later this week (I’m still waiting on copies). If you’d like a signed paperback, email me for details.

I hope you check out Walk the Sky and enjoy it. If so, please consider leaving a review at Amazon and Goodreads.

Finally, on Monday, April 22, I’ll be doing a live reading here at my website. I’ve done these before with varying success. Basically, come here at 8 pm EST, and I’ll be reading a chapter or two from Walk the Sky. I might even read something from my work in progress, which is a standalone novel that takes place in the Man of Wax universe (it’s a prequel of sorts to the trilogy). As always, I’ll welcome questions, like why the sky is blue and why do the birds and the bees constantly fight. Oh, and other stuff.
