Hey folks! Little late on getting this blog post up, but have no fear, SPRT is here!
This week we’re shy one Michelle Read (She’s currently struggling to find a way out of the mountain of manuscripts she’s been writing away at). But don’t fret! We’ve got Liam Kingman filling in for Michelle, and to top it off in the main guest seat we have none other than horror author Armand Rosamilia.
With over 100 books on his Amazon page, Armand’s stories will range from zombie massacres to Lovecraftian horror, dark fantasy to contemporary fiction.
Join us as we talk about all things that go bump in the night, as well as Armand’s work with the Horror Writers Association, the numerous conventions he’s been to, his charity work with Authors Support Our Troops, and that strange fabled place known only as ‘Hollywood’.
Check out his website HERE.
And his books HERE.
Back from vacation and ready to rock the hosting duties. “See” you all tonight!
writerwade Back from vacation and you get stuck with me. Sorry bout that.
Liam Kingman writerwade No, no apologies. Liam is in the house!
Howdy folks.
johnlmonk G’evening John!
xgranville johnlmonk 🙂
Hello folks!
xgranville Greetings to you and to all 🙂
Over a hundred books?! Holy wow–he makes me look like a candy ass! *gets to writing*
Neil Peart is one of the most overrated drummers ever… and I’m a drummer who loves prog
Totally reviewed you the other day. They won’t let me do it again! 🙁
Don’t like Canada, eh? Interesting…
I just wanna run my fingers through his beard. Is it just me?!
ZachBohannon I agree, but I am a huge fan. I don’t think he’s as amazing as they say. Just solid.
johnlmonk He’s certainly giving Patrick Rothfuss a run for his beard hair, isn’t he?
Philip Harris Tonight’s debate showed most of Canada doesn’t like Canada haha.
Other pantsers: Dean Koontz, Dean Wesley Smith, me…
johnlmonk Stephen King I’d call a pantser but he would never admit it.
xgranville ZachBohannon Solidly awesome! It’s either him or Carl Palmer for me.
johnlmonk Yo!
PatrickStemp johnlmonk I’m not supposed to see you until Tuesday — bad luck, bad luck.
johnlmonk I’m convinced now that Lee Child uses Danielle Steele’s computer program to plug in places and names and it writes the rest of the book for them.
johnlmonk PatrickStemp I’m not wearing my dress, so it’s cool.
PatrickStemp johnlmonk haha
How did Armand get into the adaptation work?
My favorite short story by Armand: had a blue cup in it. I forget the name.
Wut ^ y’all
matmorrisauthor howdy 🙂
matmorrisauthor G’evenin, sir!
xgranville johnlmonk Huh? He readily admits that he just sits down and writes.
PatrickSzabo xgranville johnlmonk I remember once he said something about being an ‘acorn writer’. He’s got this little acorn and he just keeps adding to that haha
matmorrisauthor Hello (again)
xgranville PatrickSzabo johnlmonk Ah okay. Gotcha.
PatrickSzabo xgranville johnlmonk Admit it. You’re a goddamned pantser! NOOOO!
Philip Harris matmorrisauthor Yo yo!
ZachBohannon Peart’s my first musical love, when I discovered Rush. So he has this golden throne in my head. Btw, sent you a reply to that thing you asked me (not sure if you saw).
Questions for Armand?
writerwade How’d he go about getting his first reviews?
Question for Armand the horror writer: Sleepless in Seattle, or French Kiss with Meg Ryan? (I’m a French Kiss guy).
writerwade Just posted one 🙂
johnlmonk French Kiss all the way.
I wanted to write a couple Executioner novels. This sounds much better.
Do you have a mailing list and if so, how do you handle the fact that you write in different genres? Multiple lists? One list?
Meg Ryan >>>>>>>>> Jennifer Aniston
matmorrisauthor Maybe 30 years ago, but OH that plastic surgery is bad.
PatrickSzabo matmorrisauthor She’s looking better these days…
matmorrisauthor Totally agree. She’s just cool.
matmorrisauthor PatrickSzabo Time machine?
If you want the kids you need to be on INstagram and Tumblr and sites like that.
David Lee Roth or Sammy Hagar?
PatrickSzabo Seriously? One of them sounds like a rooster. The other is David Lee Roth. Not saying he’s any better…but Hagar is a chicken-man.
xgranville PatrickSzabo Hagar is one of the most consistent and best rock n roll singers evar. But DLR is the much better frontman.
12 mins left. Get them questions in!
Been real, y’all… gotta go mix and upload the live show we did tonight so ASP has an episode for tomorrow.
PatrickSzabo It’s called “Van Halen” not “Van Hagar” (Joe Dirt).
PatrickSzabo xgranville I won’t argue his KFC-esque consistency.
PatrickSzabo David Lee earlier days
matmorrisauthor Seeya man.
johnlmonk PatrickSzabo I prefer the Roth years but there isn’t a bad song on 5150.
There’s a thing called “Dark Romance” that’s pretty popular, where the “R Word” is implied, without sealing the deal, so to speak. I learned about it from a pretty popular romance writer. Otherwise, never would have known about it. Apparently it is hugely popular.
johnlmonk Yeah. Weird haha. But interesting.
All right I need to head out. Later y’all!
acdc rocks, xavier. omg.

Best puppet movie ever… http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0097858/?ref_=fn_al_tt_1
johnlmonk Bon Scott is hit or miss. But I can’t stand Brian Johnson
