\"noir_detective2\"Welcome to Episode 28 of \u201cThe Word Count\u201d podcast!<\/span><\/p>\n

I blame C. Thomas Smith for the lateness of the show this weekend.  I tried to read his bio numerous times on the \u2018cast and ended up laughing each time.  So I skipped it and posted it below.  Along with the bios of our six other guests.<\/span><\/p>\n

It\u2019s a special hour-long Word Count this week so I hope you enjoy it!<\/span><\/p>\n

The theme our writers used for the show this week is:<\/span><\/p>\n

One. Two. Three. He caressed each bullet in the palm of his hand before slipping it into its chamber…<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

But before we introduce our writers, a bit about the show:<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

What is The Word Count Podcast?<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

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.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

Why?<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

Why not, says I.  It\u2019s a great way to practice writing and public speaking.  It\u2019s another way for writers to get their work \u201cout there.\u201d  And I love to meet fellow authors and have a blast putting the show together.  It\u2019s just that simple.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

Okay.  Where can I find it?<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

\"KRSTVR__DINGIR\"C. Thomas Smith<\/b><\/span> \u201cOur Hero\u201d<\/i><\/span><\/p>\n

<\/i><\/span><\/p>\n

I have been remiss here on the Word Count Podcast in the past. I see that others take this bio malarkey as an opportunity to tell the world about their writing, to showcase their talents and their achievements and all that other good stuff. So here, for your own edification are some recent quotes about my work.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cDon\u2019t read this, please.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThis book gave me crabs.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s a rectal prolapse as prose.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThis book is so badass, it took my dog out back and shot him twice in the face before ravishing my woman and sailing off into the sunset with her while sipping champagne and curling its evil moustache. Now my kids call me, \u201cour other daddy\u201d.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThis book totally changed my life. Now I cry every morning when I wake up.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s like sucking the tongue of a ten dollar hooker who you just paid fifty dollars to slurp the ass of a neighbour\u2019s cat after you fed it a mortal dose of super strength laxatives.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Granted the above quotes are mine but they are all true and really sincere. I take myself very seriously and hope you don\u2019t remember the prolapse quote or the super strength laxative out of a cat\u2019s ass quote the next time you chew down on a warm sticky chocolate muffin or slurp a mouthful of luke warm coffee. As ever, I remain your faithful scribbler at large. Now I must write an apology letter to my neighbour. I hope she has a strong stomach and sees Twinkles death as art rather than blatant insanity.<\/span><\/p>\n
