NYT Best Seller, father, and Atlantan Jon Fasman
This week’s episode starts out with a few thanks for our friend Kelley Hagen, who supplied the winning coffee pun that we asked for in last week’s episode. Our baristas loved it.
Hagen is also to be thanked for turning me on to Quiet Hounds, an amazing new local Atlanta band. Listen to them right now.
The Word of the Week was originally titillate, but since Nick knew what it meant, we scrapped it in favor of runic. Turns out Nick knew what that one meant too, or at least he did according to his strange fantasy world.
Nick then takes time out to abuse me for wearing Crocs, but not just Crocs: red Crocs that matched my tee shirt.
We then try out a section called Craigsliterature, which leads Nick to very rudely objectify women. Shame!
We then enter into the Nickipedia for a book review of Guilty Wives by James Patterson and David Eillis. Nick is dubious that two people can write a book together, but we go over the plot together as according to him anyway. I think anyone will want to read Guilty Wives as of hearing this.
Last, New York Times best selling author and Atlanta resident Jon Fasman talks about self publishing, his experiences with his novels, The Geographer’s Library and The Unposessed City, and gives some excellent advice for aspiring authors. He also recommends Barry Eisler’s thoughts on self publishing.
Take a look at Jon Fasman’s author page at The Economist.
