Lend us your ears!<\/span><\/em><\/h2>\n<p>Along with author pals Vance Bastian and Jayne Lockwood on a slightly audacious endeavor &#8211; we&#8217;ve put together a M\/M podcast where authors (and their readers) roundtable topics, the art of the craft, and the worlds we create. It is intended to be a forum for authors from across the multiple sub-genres who want to discuss their works\u00a0<strong>from the author&#8217;s perspective<em>\u00a0<\/em><\/strong>that they may not have much in the way of opportunity to do. Interviews are often limiting, and the range of what can be discussed is usually fairly focused.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/soundcloud.com\/3mmusketeers\/3-mmusketeers-podcast-ep001-all-for-fun-and-fun-for-all\">https:\/\/soundcloud.com\/3mmusketeers\/3-mmusketeers-podcast-ep001-all-for-fun-and-fun-for-all<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>This isn&#8217;t that type of podcast.<\/p>\n<p>Authors will grouse. Authors will praise or rant about others in the field or works that were an absolute struggle to get out into the world.<\/p>\n<p>And we&#8217;re not limiting it to authors alone.<\/p>\n<p>READERS! You too, can be part of the conversation. The intent is to foster and engender that sort of discussion not only amongst ourselves as authors, but also with the readers who buy our works. We invite this sort of discussion across the table between the two parts of producing and consuming the works.<\/p>\n<p>Episode one will be out shortly (within the week if we can swing it &#8211; the ep is recorded and edited &#8211; it&#8217;s just up to distribution to get it out there).<\/p>\n<p>You can find us on the web at <a href=\"http:\/\/3mmusketeerspodcast.akwekon.com\" target=\"_blank\">3mmusketeerspodcast<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Our Twitter account is &#8211; @3mmusketeers<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/Facebook.com\/groups\/3mmusketeerspodcast\" target=\"_blank\">Facebook Group Page<br \/>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<p>You can email us at <a href=\"mailto: 3mmusketeers@akwekon.com\" target=\"_blank\">3mmusketeerspodcast@akwekon.com<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Please join us for the release &#8211; (to be updated when we have a firm date this week).<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>3M\/Musketeers Podcast<\/strong> is a <a href=\"http:\/\/www.akwekon.com\" target=\"_blank\">Akwekon Media<\/a> production in association with <a href=\"http:\/\/www.vancebastian.com\" target=\"_blank\">VanceBastian.com<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ladyjauthor.com\" target=\"_blank\">LadyJAuthor.com<\/a>, and <a href=\"http:\/\/www.sacollins.com\" target=\"_blank\">SACollins.com<\/a>.
