This guy knows how to ask questions, ones that not only evoke my own passion for the subject matter but also make it easy for me to answer in a way that is hopefully entertaining for readers. Head over to Solarcide now. Read the interview. Learn of my greatness.

Funk&#8216;s review of the story at Spinetinger Magazine. Spinetingler, for whatever beautiful reason, has decided to review a handful of stories from the recent Warmed and Bound anthology, in which my story, along with 37 others, appear for your reading pleasure. Rather than blather on, I&#8217;ll just post a few of Mr. Funk&#8217;s &#8230; <a href="http://www.calebjross.com/media/spinetingler-magazine-reviews-click-clack-from-warmed-and-bound/" >&#8594;</a>]]></description>

I simply could not be more delighted. He&#8217;s already tackled Stephen Graham Jones&#8217; The Bird is Gone: a manifesto and is prepping investigations of Goodloe Byron&#8217;s The Wraith (which I am currently reading), Amelia Gray&#8217;s, AM/PM, D. Harlan Wilson&#8217;s Peckinpah: an ultraviolent romance, and Brian Olu&#8217;s &#8230; <a href="http://www.calebjross.com/media/six-personal-investigations-of-the-act-of-reading-caleb-j-ross-stranger-will-at-the-sri-lanka-sunday-observer/" >&#8594;</a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Literature lover and good natured promoter of all things indy, Jason Behrends offers up his newest episode of the Orange Alert Podcast with lovely side dish of yours truly. He has included my reading of the first chapter of As a Machine and Parts (from a March reading at Method in Kansas City) in this newest episode. Jason was one of the earliest supporters of As a Machine and Parts, so it means a lot to have him include me. &#8230; <a href="http://www.calebjross.com/media/a-rest-from-the-road-to-read-at-orange-alert-podcast-episode-70/" >&#8594;</a>]]></description>

The guy has operated his own publishing press (Brown Paper Publishing) for a few years now, he continuously produces his own amazing fiction (he&#8217;s authored about 43,000 books, I think), he&#8217;s innovative with his means of extracting meaningful dialog between author and reader (see: The Predicate Dialogues, and Norman Court for his latest projects in this space) and he works tirelessly to apply critical analysis to fiction in a &#8230; <a href="http://www.calebjross.com/media/stranger-will-gets-the-pablo-dstair-treatment-six-investigations-of-the-act-of-reading/" >&#8594;</a>]]></description>

I am always looking for more literature podcasts, and I’ve been a fan and friend of Dwyer’s for a long time, so when the two came together I did not hesitate to jump in. Livius Nedin and Robb Olson have not been doing Booked Podcast to very long yet, but they approach the format liked seasoned connoisseurs.

Bradley (publisher, Artistically Declined Press), Nik Korpon (Stay God), and Brandon Tietz (Out of Touch) have a sit down at Bourbon in Washington DC to discuss the hows and whys of author performance. Performance is part of the author’s life.

Everyone from CVS counter workers to street repair people went out of their way to smile and offer a hello. And I definitely don&#8217;t project a aura of respectability, so these people couldn&#8217;t have feared I was in a position to fire them.

		<description><![CDATA[Episode #005 of The Velvet Podcast is now live! In this interview episode I talk with Matt Bell, author of The Collectors (Caketrain Press), Wolf Parts and the forthcoming How They Were Found, both from Keyhole Press. Matt’s short fiction has been published and anthologized just about everywhere and is forthcoming to Ninth Letter, the ML Press chapbook series, and Kill Author. We talk about live-writing with an audience over at Everyday Genius, editing for The Collagist, teaching writing to &#8230; <a href="http://www.calebjross.com/media/the-velvet-podcast-episode-005-interview-with-matt-bell/" >&#8594;</a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Episode #004 of The Velvet Podcastjust went live a few hours ago. Me, Rob Parker, and Mark Jaskowski talk about: Most writers, whether hobbyists or professionals, would defend that writing is a compulsion. Yet despite this apparent need, writers find a lot a lot of ways to procrastinate (creating this podcast being one). In this episode, three Velvet members discuss why writing is so necessary, what keeps us from writing when we know we should, what keeps us writing once &#8230; <a href="http://www.calebjross.com/media/the-velvet-podcast-episode-004-%e2%80%9cwhy-can%e2%80%99t-i-write%e2%80%9d-i-write-or-inventing-trans-fat/" >&#8594;</a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Episode #002 of The Velvet Podcastjust went live a few hours ago. Me, Chris Deal, Bob Pastorella, and Chris Bodenstein talk about: Why the disparity between genre fiction and literary fiction? Why are these two modes so often thought of as mutually exclusive? Though genre fiction (the big ones: mystery, sci-fi, horror) are taught at the university level, there is a palatable disinterest among much of academia. In this episode, four The Velvet members discuss these questions and more.

		<description><![CDATA[Professional Orange Alert kind gent, Jason Behrends, invited me to contribute to his weekly arts and literature podcast. I&#8217;ve been dabbling in podcasting lately (contributing to The Velvet Podcast and getting things in line for next week&#8217;s AWP Conference, where I&#8217;ll have an audio feed to document the event), so to have this additional swath of experience is nice. For this week&#8217;s episode, I read my story &#8220;Our Guy&#8221; which originally appeared at Word Riot.

		<description><![CDATA[Yesterday I appeared on ASNYCNOW&#8217;s Blog Talk Radio where I discussed my book, my role as an editor at the Outsider Writers Collective, my future publications, The Velvet, my upcoming AWP reading, and on top of all that self-promotion, I was inundated with compliments from the unbelievably nice Vicki S. Nikolaidis. Though technical issues had me cutting in and out through much of the discussion, and my voice had a space echo, all in all I had a great time. &#8230; <a href="http://www.calebjross.com/media/interviewed-on-blog-talk-radio/" >&#8594;</a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve been a member of The Velvet for a few years. During that time, I&#8217;ve come to respect the pool of talent over there not just for their writing chops, but for their reading tastes as well. They are my taste-makers. I am glad to now be able to share that camaraderie with you. Episode #001 of The Velvet Podcast just went live a few hours ago. Me, Gordon Highland, and Rob Parker talk about a few things writing, specifically &#8230; <a href="http://www.calebjross.com/media/the-velvet-podcast-episode-001-of-members-and-horse-nostrils/" >&#8594;</a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Blogs have two major purposes: 1) to serve their ego-maniacal masters (hopefully not my site), and 2) to alert the somewhat socially inept to trends befitting their interests (am I’m closer to this one). A couple years ago, Tim Hall directed me to What to Wear During an Orange Alert, which has consistently fallen into the latter category (wow, two uses of the word “latter” in consecutive blog posts. Pompous, I may be). When it comes to music, art, and &#8230; <a href="http://www.calebjross.com/media/orange-alert-caleb-talks/" >&#8594;</a>]]></description>

Craig Wallwork contacted me with a request to ask a few questions about my work and its ethic. Great conversation ensued, supported, I&#8217;m certain, not only by Craig&#8217;s excellent provocative queries, but by the fictional Cat O&#8217;Nine Tails ambiance.

		<description><![CDATA[The interview is a rare opportunity to experience the inner workings of a person. Unless that person likes to call himself a writer, then the interview is just old news to those who&#8217;ve read his stories. Fiction can be the ultimate autobiography, though a structured and controlled autobiography it is. Fiction is makeup.So what&#8217;s a writer to do when he wants to wash away the mascara? He answers some questions in an attempt to categorize his life, similar to the &#8230; <a href="http://www.calebjross.com/media/those-of-a-life-remembered/" >&#8594;</a>]]></description>

And to be honest, the idea of a personal homepage still seems a bit arrogant to me. &#8220;Who cares?&#8221; right? But we all must accept the times, I suppose; must accept our technological evolutionary tendencies.
