Podcast - Author Interview with Jon Teetsell

I had a great time chatting with Quinn Barrett of Wise Bear Books.  Although I was nervous at the beginning, it quickly turned into a chat about Science Fiction and eventually my book Alorya.  The most interesting part of the interview for me, was that she asked me questions about Alorya that no one had ever asked.  By asking me about some of the complicated names in Alorya, it brought me back to questions I had been preparing for back in 2008 when I finished writing my first "acceptable" version of Alorya.  To be honest, the interview was exactly what I had been expecting back in those days.

When I first shared my work with friends and acquaintances back then, they had asked me about Scarlett or Aiden.  Soon, the line of questions came to be about the Jaadugar and the Sorcerers.  All in all, it was questions like this which led me to kind of expect the unexpected.  It was because I didn't know what to expect that I became so nervous.  Prior to the interview, Quinn had provided me a list of questions she might ask so I could prepare myself, but when she actually asked me about Mercer, I was thrilled.  He was definitely the character I had the most fun writing about.

Please enjoy the podcast!  With experiences like this, I hope to make many more.

Wise Bear Book - Interview with Author Jon Teetsell


To say that I'm nervous, is like the sun asking for air conditioning and perhaps a little lemonade.

This will be my first ever recorded interview.  I'll be doing a little Q & A with Quinn Barrett of Wise Bear Books tomorrow at 1PM EST.

Quinn Barret is the author of Invisible Snow available in Paperback and on Kindle.

Not that I expect anyone I know to call in, but I'm putting it out there:

Call in to speak with the host

Of note:
  •  I'm very soft spoken and once, I was told I sound like Jim Henson's Kermit the Frog.
