The story is about a boy named Steve who is transported to the wacky fantasy world of Eyri with his Uncle Shameless.  Once in Eyri (pronounced AIR-EE), Steve finds out he is part of a prophecy to free the land from the rule of the wicked Hawk King. </itunes:summary>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>This is audio from another panel discussion at <strong><a title="con!" href="http://penguicon.org">Penguicon 2010</a></strong> I was a part of, called &#8220;Humor in Science Fiction and Fantasy.&#8221;</p>
<p>Joining me on the panel are <a href="http://jimchines.com"><strong>Jim C. Hines</strong></a>, author of the Goblin Quest and Princess series and Brian Briggs, creator of the geek humor site <strong><a href="http://bbspot.com">BBspot.com</a></strong>.</p>
<p>I loved being on this panel. It was a hoot. We talked about writing humor in genres vs. traditional fiction, and even in non-fiction. Jim teases me for taking food home from the laundromat. And we learn that Batman makes anything funnier.</p>
<p>Jim was also a guest on an episode for the other podcast I&#8217;m a part of, <a title="also funny!" href="http://talklansing.net/lansingnext/2010/3/31/lansingnext-7-laundromats-and-ponies-and-b-movies-oh-my.html"><strong>LansingNext</strong></a>. I am the co-host, and bring my lovable geek humor to the show.</p>
<p>Oh and last week&#8217;s podcast made it to the front page of <a title="woo hoo!" href="http://www.boingboing.net/2010/05/06/howto-adapt-a-novel.html"><strong>BoingBong</strong></a> last week. Awesome!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I decided last night that I&#8217;m going to release the next podcast episode on Wednesday (11.11.09).  A friend who specializes in Internet marketing, etc. told me that the best days for Web traffic are Tuesday through Thursday.  Makes sense.</p>
<p>I&#8217;m curious to see if releasing an episode in the middle of the week will make much of a difference in my own traffic.  Considering I only release stuff every other week, this is probably a good idea&#8211;as not too many people check websites on Sundays.</p>
<p>This also gives me the whole weekend to finish an episode if I don&#8217;t have it done in time.  Come back on Wednesday!</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">#</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">In writing news, I am now the <a href="http://www.examiner.com/x-28522-Lansing-Restaurant-Examiner?showbio">Lansing Restaurant Examiner</a> for Examiner.com.  I do reviews of restaurants around town.  I&#8217;m enjoying it so far.  I also started doing a weekly<a href="http://illegalcurve.com/2009/11/02/high-noon-fantasy-hockey-missing-malkin-goodbadugly-young-guns-the-show-down/"> fantasy hockey column</a> for IllegalCurve.com.</p>
