This week the Dead Robots discuss how to handle a slump. Sometimes you should wait it out, and sometimes sweat it out, but either way, you have to deal with it. Listen in and see if you agree with the different techniques they offer up. They also finally catch up on the feedback! w00t!
Duotrope.com was mentioned, and it is an excellent resource for those looking to submit their work.

We bring you again the latest issue of Ray Gun Revival, which is again overflowing with goodness, and not just because it includes part two of my four-part short story series entitled “The Ties That Bind.” I hope you enjoy it, and please let the fine folks at RGR know how much you do.

This week the Dead Robots try and get caught up by talking about their recent creative endeavors. They discuss things they’ve learned, problems they’ve come across, and what happens with the fires burn low. And then, in the second half of the show, they finally review the book “On Basilisk Station” by David Weber. We hope you enjoy.
Also, our next book to discuss is the new horror novel, “The Strain,” by Guillermo Del Toro and Chuck Hogan. Justin describes it as “Outbreak” meets “Salem’s Lot,” and he hopes everyone loves it as much as he does.

Sorry this week we don’t have a new discussion episode. I suffered a death in my family, and the guys were kind enough to give me the time I needed to deal with it. And, fortunately, PG had more audio from Balticon to share. This was a panel about creating and handling a mutilple-voiced podcast production. It was called “Hearding Cats,” which is entirely appropriate. If you’re interested in doing podcasts of your fiction, and you want more voice than just your own, give this a listen. Thank you, and enjoy!

Hey, everybody! We’re back! This week the Dead Robots settle in for a roundtable discussion, something we haven’t done for a good long while. It felt good. And, as an added bonus, we had Nathan Lowell join us as a special guest host to help us talk about plotting a story. So, settle in, dim the lights, and enjoy!

Last year, author David Williams published his breakout science fiction thriller “The Mirrored Heavens,” a novel Steven Baxter said was Tom Clancy meeting Bruce Sterling. Now that story continues in William’s latest novel, “The Burning Skies.” The life that U.S. counterintelligence agent Claire Haskell once knew is in tatters. Her mission was betrayed, her lover is dead, and the defeat of the mysterious insurgent group Autumn Rain isn’t as complete as some believed. What is quickly becoming clear is that their ultimate goal isn’t simply to destroy the tenuous global alliances of the 22nd Century, but to rule all of humanity. Now it’s up to Claire to win an impossible war. She must be ready for the Rain’s next move, but the true enemy may already be inside her head.
To learn more about “The Burning Skies,” please visit www.autumnrain2110.com. There you will discover more about the incredible world that David Williams has created, as well as learn about the author himself, all of which should prepare you for next year’s release of William’s forthcoming novel, “The Machinery Of Light.” “The Burning Skies” is available for purchase at Amazon.com and all fine book retailers.
