The Word Count Episode 35

Welcome to Episode 35 of “The Word Count” podcast!
Occasionally on the show, we divert from our theme based original story format to feature a writer and his/her current work—inclusive of a snippet read by the author themselves.
And thus, I am proud to say, I give you this week’s very special guest, Mercedes M. Yardley
In her own words:
“Hi. I’m Mercedes. I have two broken laptops, three kids, a husband and no time to write, although I try my very best. I like to write stories. I like to write poems. I like to write essays and sometimes they’re funny, sometimes they aren’t. I’ve written a few novels, and I’m shopping the last one around. It’s challenging, and I like it that way. I’m a member of the SFWA, the HWA, and I’m the nonfiction editor for Shock Totem: Curious Tales of the Macabre and Twisted. Check us out at www.shocktotem.com.
I know how to throw a tomahawk and I wear red corduroys because they make me happy. That’s also why I write: I like being happy.”
Mercedes is a fabulous writer and person, and as you will here on the show, we gone along instantly. We talk about her first novella, Apocalyptic Montessa and Nuclear Lulu: A tale of Atomic Love and she does a reading from it as well. You can find her on the ‘net:
