A year ago I had the great pleasure to sit down with Kase Johnstun up in Ogden for an author podcast beautifully entitled LITerally that I feel worked pretty well. I don't think I ever shared it properly before. It's full of good stuff. I read a bit of THE BRAND DEMAND and ELEANOR and have a good talk about authors and artists, publishing and the life. It's good fodder for authors and artists, podcast enthusiasts, people with ears. I'm editing today so I'll just leave this here.
