Hi Friend,

So on to the podcast interview and an upcoming events, including one tomorrow!


re: the podcast - I really enjoyed interviewing Rachael about her sci-fi western. While editing the interview, I read her first novel, loved it and recommend it. Can't wait for the next book in the series.


How are you doing? How's the writing going? I'd love to know.

On to the podcast...

Interview with Western Science Fiction novelist, Rachael Clarke, Part 1

“I'm passionate about sci-fi and I was thinking, I just I love horses so much, ... what would a horse be like in the future?”

-- R.A. Clarke


In this episode, I talk to Science Fiction Western novelist, Rachael Clarke about her novel published under her pseudonym R.A. Clarke called Race to Novus. We delve into the inspiration behind the world building for the novel (so fun!) plus the benefits of having a support team around you when working on a novel. (Support is everything!)
