Many thanks to my fellow authors and bloggers Rachel Poli and Ari Meghlen for featuring me on the Merry Writer Podcast! If you haven’t yet, listen as I discuss with Rachel how I came to be a writer:
The episode is on Podbean too.
Be sure to subscribe to the podcast to listen to their other episodes!
And be sure to keep an eye out on my poetry and short story pages for upcoming links to the anthologies Fae Dreams and Nightmare Whispers: Madness Echoes from Fae Corps Inc! They’re due to come out at the end of the month! Some links are already available for preorder!
Interesting to note that some of my work that will appear in those anthologies are tied with earlier days of writing. “Crossing the Estuary” was originally a high school creative writing assignment I’d thought lost but rediscovered. “Candlelight” was an assignment in college where we had to write a poem in the style of Edgar Allan Poe’s “The Raven,” following specific guidelines (yesterday was the anniversary of Poe’s death). I recall I actually started writing it on Halloween!

Early writing is never writing to be abandoned. Often it contains us at our most creative. 🙂

Your episode was excellent, I’m so sorry I wasn’t able to be on the show with you, though Rachel did a great job as the solo host while I was away. We will definitely have you back on again.

Pretty cool to be interviewed on the podcast, Andrew. Keyboards are an awesome invention for left-handed writers!

Would you say that writing has been an effective way to deal with your Aspergers tendency? Why?

In some ways, yes, as I learn more about language and slang.
