I hope everyone enjoys!

It was great! He was a pleasure to talk to and I think everyone here will enjoy it. It will be released next Tuesday and I'll email everyone the link (pre-recorded to be played during our live slot on the air).

Happening in about 3 to 4 minutes.

Thanks everyone so far! You have until Tuesday to get a question in!

I will soon be interviewing the NY Time Bestselling author F. Paul Wilson on my radio show Whispers. Originally I was going to invite everyone to stop by and call in with questions but it will not be a pre-recorded interview. I will still love to hear what questions you've always wanted to ask him and I ill make every effort to ask your question on the show. To recommend a question ask below!

This is the most ludicrous statement I heard in the last 2.5 years since I bought Son..."

EH. I just buy a few at a time...

1. Have you read a book on Kindle, iphone, or other ebook platform? If so, how would you compare the experience to reading a hard-copy book or a PDF on computer? Were there parts you enjoyed more? Less?

I have for years. I used to use a Sony Clie but I just bought a Kindle 2. I enjoy the experience and find them easier to read in bed.

2. Do you own a Kindle platform? If so, what are your thoughts on its quality and cost?

Yes. I think the price is high but the quality is high also.

3. If you own a Kindle, what do you think about the cost of ebooks for the platform? Too much, too little? Is there a happy median between ebook price and hard-copy price?

Book prices are very reasonable!

4. Do you think the ereaders will have as much of an impact on the publishing industry as digital music has had on the music industry? Is this an apt comparison? Or are they apples and oranges?

I think there will be two different markets for paper and digital books.

5. What great fantasy and sci-fi books have you found that are available on the platform?

Magic Kingdom for Sale... Sold by Terry Pratchett for FREE!

6. What fantasy/sci-fi books are not available that you would like to see?

Not found any yet...

7. Any other thoughts, observations, worries, hopes?

Kindle 2 with free wireless internet is great for traveling!

I'm 30 and married! No chance there!

Congrats Sarah and Kevinalbee! And thanks everyone! Now to find a job...

This past Saturday I graduated from college with a Bachelor in Secondary Education concentration in English and Social Science!

I just posted the show!

It was a lot of fun!

Hello,

As many of you know, I am a talk show host for a paranormal themed radio show in Wheeling, WV, Whispers Radio, that is also distributed as a podcast on the net. Tomorrow we are interviewing Jim Butcher on the show about the release of the latest Dresden Files book, Turn Coat.

Learn more about our show here:

You can listen to the show online and live by going here:

If anyone wants to call in and ask him a question we are doing the interview at 7:00PM Eastern Time. The number to call in is 1-866-514-1600

Feel free to call in! It helps to show the station manager that I am bringing listeners to the show and will hopefully entice advertisers to spend money on the show. If anyone is looking for a popular podcast with inexpensive advertising rate, drop me an email!

If anyone is wondering why I've not been around lately, I am still student teaching and still very busy. Less than a month left now!

Nick
