The Internet will be awash with writer Rod Miller in the weeks ahead.
First, tune in to Matthew Pizzolato’s Dusty
Trails and Tall Tales podcast Thursday, September 18, at 5:00 p.m. Mountain
Time (your time zone may vary). You’ll hear (and see) a panel discussion about
a recent anthology of short fiction, Silverado
Press Presents: Western Stories by Today’s Top Writers.
On the panel will be Jeff Mariotte, editor and publisher (as well as an author)
of the anthology, contributing authors Del Howison and Kelli Fitzpatrick, and
yours truly.
In addition to discussing the anthology, the conversation may range to what the
various writers are up to, and maybe what we think about western books and movies.
It’s anybody’s guess. My contribution to the anthology is a story titled “The
Incident Above Mentioned,” historical fiction about the beginning of The Black
Hawk War in Utah in April of 1865.
Tune in (or log in) Thursday, September 18, at 5:00 p.m. Mountain Time for Dusty
Trails and Tall Tales.
Then, two
weeks later, listen to (and watch) LA
Talk Radio when hosts Bobbi Jean Bell and Jim Bell, with guest host Henry
C. Parke, Film Editor for True West Magazine, will interview author Michael
Norman and me on the Rendezvous With A
Writer broadcast. The topic of discussion will be our recently released
collection of award-winning short stories, Shiny
Spurs and Gold Medallions. The two-author collection includes stories
that have won and been finalists for the Western Writers of America Spur Award,
Will Rogers Award Medallions, the Western Fictioneers Peacemaker Award, and
other recognition.
You can hear and see the interview live on Thursday, October 2, at 7:00 p.m. Mountain Time (again, your time zone may vary) at LA Talk Radio. The next day, the program will appear on the Rendezvous With A Writer Facebook Page.
Tune in, log in, or link in to these interviews and discussions with Western
writers for some thoughts about writing about the American West that may set
you to thinking.
