Welcome to Episode 29 of “The Word Count” podcast!
I really do need a seperate site for the podcast.
The show was a bit delayed (seems to be the story these days…ba-DUM-bum) due to family reasons, but we’re back on track now!
SIX authors, my friends. Count ‘em, SIX!
All are returning guests; all had fun with our them for the show:
That’s when the cameras all turned toward me…
But before we introduce our writers, a bit about the show:
What is The Word Count Podcast?
It is a free broadcast by writers for writers. Simply put, a theme for each show is announced via this site, Twitter and Facebook and writers are given a week or two to write AND RECORD their stories based on said theme.
Why?
Why not, says I. It’s a great way to practice writing and public speaking. It’s another way for writers to get their work “out there.” And I love to meet fellow authors and have a blast putting the show together. It’s just that simple.
Okay. Where can I find it?

Our guests this week:
Bill Kirton “Turning the Tables”
Before taking early retirement to become a full-time writer, Bill Kirton was a lecturer in French at the University of Aberdeen. He’s written stage and radio plays, short stories, novels, skits and songs for revues, and five non-fiction books aimed at helping students with their writing and study skills. His five modern crime novels, Material Evidence, Rough Justice, The Darkness, Shadow Selves and Unsafe Acts are set in north east Scotland and his historical crime/romance novel, The Figurehead, is set in Aberdeen in 1840. The Darkness won the silver award in the mystery category of the 2011 Forward National Literature Awards and his spoof mystery, The Sparrow Conundrum, was the winner in the humor category.
He’s had radio plays broadcast by the BBC and the Australian BC. His short stories have appeared in many anthologies, including three of the CWA’s annual collections, and one was chosen by Maxim Jakubowski for his 2010 anthology of Best British Crime Stories.
Writing as Jack Rosse, he’s published a novel for children called The Loch Ewe Mystery.
He’s been a Royal Literary Fund Writing Fellow at universities in Aberdeen, Dundee and St Andrews.

M. Holder “Sick”
M. Holder lives in Georgia with two guys, cats and a 8 year old girl. When not writing or attempting to catch up on The Walking Dead, she studies Taekwondo and trains for a 5k.
“Sick” was inspired by a response to a Tweet, a two-week cold and the smell of barbeque.
Tristan John S. “The Redemption of Robert Peppler”
Born the eldest of non-identical twins in Kent, Tristan’s first ambition was to become a writer. Having trained as a Junior Exhibitioner at the Royal College of Music, London from 1995-2001 on a joint first study of violin and piano, he went up to Cambridge University where he graduated with an MA in Theology and Religious Studies. Since 2008 he has been a Qualified Secondary Teacher of Music and RE.
Tristan started writing poetry as a teenager and then turned his attention to prose, completing his first novel whilst still at University. He has written five plays, three of which have been produced and is now seeking publication for the first in a series of novels for young adults, The Lesser Evil.
Having left full time teaching, Tristan now works as a freelance musician, writer and private tutor. He is also an avid film maker and directed a feature film adaptation of the beloved book “Blitzed” by celebrated children’s author, Robert Swindells in 2010, in collaboration with a local primary school.
