So here’s a little project I should mention.
At work, I’ve launched a monthly podcast for Flux, the line of YA books for which I acquire. It’s called Eye on Flux and while ostensibly a marketing tool, it’s turning out to be rather fun.
For those who’ve never met me and have a burning desire to know what I sound like, check it out. So far, I’ve interviewed a few of our authors, given away some free books (see, if you send questions about publishing, Flux, or almost anything and I answer your question on the podcast, I send you a free Flux book), and had a good time making a jackass of myself.
It’s been kinda neat. I get to use my (nearly long forgotten) training in audio/video production (although I’m still trying to get the hang of this modern, new-fangled equipment). Right now, it’s only available via the podcast’s blog but we’ll soon be expanding and be available through iTunes (which is where it’s all at, don’tcha know). There are currently three available for download and each one runs about 30 minutes (although we had special guests in June so that one’s a bit longer).
So, yeah. If you know anyone with an interest in young adult literature, spread the word about the podcast. If you know someone who wouldn’t mind a free YA book, tell them to submit a question and maybe they’ll be lucky enough to have it answered (instructions on how to submit questions are on the sidebar of the blog). We’re small but growing.

Yay! What a great project.
