AIRS THURSDAY APRIL 16TH @ 7PM PST/10PM EST
Joining us this week on the Self Publishing Roundtable is special guest Anthony Melchiorri, author of The God Organ and the Black Market DNA series.
But unlike most speculative fiction authors, Anthony also works as a biomedical engineer– something that most writers only would…say, speculate about.
Anthony is currently developing cardiovascular devices for tissue engineering to treat children with congenital heart defects, and still has the time to write the novels that his other work brings out in him.
Join us this week as we talk about medical and scientific advancements, speculative fiction– and how the two inspire each other!

Hope you all have fun and find this episode very informative. Alas I, BatmanErica, have work.
The site is telling me how doctors are shocked that a sydney mum breaks world record, I think it’s a weighloss spam. Why is there weightloss spam on the site?
I’ll pop in for a little. Crazy days and nights right now.
Well I’m here, but just barely.
michelleread Oh noes! You’re not still feeling sickly, are you?
CateMorgan michelleread Hello Cate!
writerwade michelleread Hey, Wade! How goes edu-ma-cating America’s yute?
CateMorgan michelleread No no! Thank goodness : ) Thank you for asking. I’m just running late!
michelleread Well, that’s a relief! I made us both a cup of tea, just in case. 🙂
Standing by. Where is everybody?
RobertChazzChute Here! Hiiii : )
CateMorgan michelleread Oh I’ll TAKE it. *Makes scrunchy “thank you” face*
RobertChazzChute Oh…helloooooo…..
Evening
MrJohnRead I’m am Petrucci. My guitar goes at the speed of the sun. My fingers are time. I am your God, King and Enslaver.
MrJohnRead Hello John
RobertChazzChute Okay so where is Robert, is the question.
xgranville MrJohnRead Oh thank god, I was afraid no one would know
MrJohnRead Hello there.
writerwade MrJohnRead Hey Wade
CateMorgan writerwade michelleread Wonderful, absolutely wonderful! 🙂
michelleread MrJohnRead Heey Guuuuuurl
MrJohnRead xgranville I’ve seen them thrice. Magini is a fucking beast.
michelleread *sends you tea karma*
xgranville MrJohnRead As was Portnoy
I know there aren’t many of us here right now…..but are there any questions? I’m kinda afraid to ask any because he’s saying words like “Lab” and “Purely in the science world” and “genes/strokes”.
MrJohnRead xgranville I like both, but Mangini live convinced me they made the right choice. Both can play the songs, but Mangini never slows down or seems to tire. He scares me.
RobertChazzChute Hi Robert
xgranville MrJohnRead I have yet to see them live with Magini, I actually “accidentally” saw them at a Queensryche concert…stole the show!
michelleread What’s his writing process like? Is he super organized because of the type of work his does in his day job, or is he completely different in his writing life?
michelleread Do the story ideas come from the science or does the science get applied to the story ideas?
MrJohnRead xgranville That would have been awesome.
xgranville MrJohnRead Yes, yes it was
writerrobynlarue michelleread Robyn he’s talking about the medical imagining and Art inspiring Science and such right now…..is this answering your question?
The feed doesn’t seem to be working for me tonight. Gonna have to jump and jet. Have a good night everyone.
MrJohnRead xgranville And you had a hot date. Oh wait.
RobertChazzChute Sorry Robert
RobertChazzChute 🙁
michelleread MrJohnRead xgranville Well, he was short anyway
RobertChazzChute I ended up loading up youtube to watch it.
michelleread I missed some of it when the feed goobered. will backtrack and pick it up at the end. 🙂
writerrobynlarue RobertChazzChute I might have to do this is as well. Google Plus is turning into Google Minus for me right now. 🙁
writerrobynlarue michelleread <3 I’ll ask it again in a different way in a bit!
Glad to see Michelle back since she was too cool (sick) to have video last week.
ZachBohannon Oh that was just because I was so nervous because you’re so smart.
michelleread ZachBohannon Robert left…looks like I made it just in time.
Ooops….I’m late, but I’m here!
DemelzaCarlton If the feed acts weird jump over to Youtube. Some people have been having difficulties
xgranville DemelzaCarlton yeah, it’s done pixelated thingies a few times and voice distortion. It’s behaving at the moment, though
ZachBohannon michelleread Ooh sick burn!
DemelzaCarlton Demelza!!
I’m really digging his cover art. Who does he work with?
DemelzaCarlton xgranville YouTube is pixelating also, but it keeps running. G+ just froze. So far so good on YouTube though.
writerrobynlarue DemelzaCarlton xgranville What in the world, internet?
Wade’s train
MrJohnRead You found it!
I have a question. Given your background, did you market your book to your colleagues, or just go for online ads?
DemelzaCarlton Ohhhhh, a good question as well.
michelleread MrJohnRead Choo Choo!
michelleread DemelzaCarlton I don’t ask many, lol 😀
I have to ask (you don’t have to answer). As a biomedical engineer, would your zombies be fast or slow? Virus or ??
Awesome 🙂
Romero’s zombies are right up there with Carpenter’s vampires. 🙂
I’m late, sorry guys. But I was in my Post Scandal phase.
reneenbjames Hello Renee!
reneenbjames Like Scandal, the show?
Great tip, thanks! I need to find a brain tumor expert for a book.
writerrobynlarue Ohhhh, good luck!
I need to take a class!
ReneeKelley Right? I’ll just enroll in one college class. For a week. And I’ll be good enough….
michelleread ReneeKelley LOL – I love living walking distance from a university campus. Turn up in authorly clothes and they treat you like a student.
DemelzaCarlton michelleread ReneeKelley …….NOTED
Gosh…..”you know, working in the lab every day”.
michelleread LOL – filtering from one container to another all day…I remember those labs. You need a lot of bathroom breaks…
Any more questions?
Gotta get paid somehow…
