tctpod-season1-04: The podcast based on the book based on the movie (with Kate Maruyama)
In this podcast episode, I talk to Kate Maruyama. She is the author of the novel Harrowgate, which just came out in September and hit #3 on the Kindle horror bestseller list. Kate and I usually check-in using an ancient telephone contraption, but I tricked her into Skyping so I could record some of the cool things she says about the writing process. Two things we focus on: Kate’s background in screenwriting, and her keen editing abilities. Enjoy!

Have I overused the word “kick ass” in these show notes?
I fear that I have.
Sorry.
It’s not you, it’s me.
I’m full of shame.
Really.
