This is K.M. Loyland and you are listening to the six hundred ninth episode of the Helping Writers Become Authors

0:14.6

podcast. Before I get started today I do have a couple pieces of news and the

0:20.5

first is that as you may have, there was no podcast last week.

0:25.0

And that was because I got the opportunity to share a guest post as the final part of my genre tips series. And this one was on how to write horror. So if you're

0:36.3

interested in that, hop over to my site at helping writers become authors

0:40.3

com. At the time today's episode goes live the horror post will be the second one from the top.

available as an early access e-book when you buy direct off my

Quite a few people have been asking about the audiobook
