Local Author Reading
June 1, 2024 I was hosted by Parkville Coffee in their author readings series. I read from an early chapter of My Soul to Keep to a wonderfully responsive audience. Thank you Parkville Coffee and thank you audience members.
My grandson helped me at my bookselling table when I appeared at the Mid-Continent Public Library’s 6th Annual Story Center Local Author Fair.
Podcasts
Mysterious Goings On (MGO) is a podcast hosted by Kansas City area resident, J. Alexander Greenwood. We follow each other on Twitter. I am honored to have been a guest on his show twice. We talked most recently on May 12, 2022.
Listen to the May 12, 2022 episode where I discuss finishing my novel, If I Should Die, during a time of personal loss and using real-life settings in fiction.
Don’t forget to listen to my first appearance on MGO in 2020 where I discuss learning to shoot like a sniper for a novel I’m working on.

He is best known as the author of the John Pilate Mysteries and host/producer of the Mysterious Goings On podcast and the PR After Hours podcast.

Interviews and Appearances on Other Blogs
Read my interview on Bold Journey. Done in March 2024, I talk about how to gain confidence and self-esteem and what traits help make one successful as a writer.
CanvasRebel interviewed me about what it takes to be a successful writer on January 11, 2023.
Claire Buss hosted me for an interview in March of 2019 on her website, But I Don’t Like Salad. I like her domain name, don’t you? Having been a published author for a mere seven months, was my first guest appearance. Thank you, Claire!
Claire Buss is a multi-genre author and poet, completely addicted to cake. Find all her books on Amazon. Join the discussion in her Facebook group Buss’s Book Stop.
Jan S. Gephardt has been a friend of mine for many years. You could say we were baby writers together. She had an idea that we could write a twinned interview. We posted it on the same day in September 2021 on each of our sites. See it on Jan’s website.
It was not only fun to do, readers thought it was a fun and interesting post.
About Jan
Jan S. Gephardt commutes daily between her Kansas City-area home and two other universes: the sunny balcony in the Wizards’ Village where she makes her paper sculpture, and a habitat space station the size of New York City, far from Earth and several hundred years in the future, where she writes science fiction novels about a sapient police dog.
Appearances on YouTube
I have the first six chapters of the first draft of If I Should Die recorded. I hope to do a variety of recordings to share with you. Here’s the first one:
