Shaun Farrell returns for the second part of his podcast interview with Matt Bialer, poet, street photographer and literary agent. Part One (AISFP 227) centered on his newest release, Black Powder, an epic poem for fans of urban myths. Head over to that post to enter the GIVEAWAY for Sea Change by S.M. Wheeler. In this episode, Matt shares some excellent publishing advice from his experience as a literary agent, including changes in quality of submissions, the landscape for selling Epic Fantasy onto Television and whether writers should publish in multiple genres.

Schisms, by V.A. Jeffrey, is the first book in the Red World myth-fantasy trilogy. Think Antiquity and Mesopotamia on ancient Mars instead of Earth, with prophecies and gods. In the old kingdom of Hybron, violent and in deep decline, an outsider priest is kicked out of the powerful and corrupt Golden Temple. He sees a new vision that spurs him to set his sights on a new mission – to overthrow not only the Golden temple but the corrupt throne of Hybron itself! Schisms is currently on sale for $0.99 on Amazon.com, Smashwords and B&N online and the second book, Cryptic Tongues was newly released this summer. For more information on V. A. Jeffrey’s books, go to www.epistlepublishing.com
