I ran freight and wagon trains for years from Missouri to Santa Fe. Courted death from arrows to snake bites, drowning to dysentery, each and every trip. Came through all that only to be dealt a bad hand in Deadwood. Got myself killed.Now the Grim Reaper is swinging for my boys, too. They're men, actually, and I won't let them end up dead like me. Same goes for their friends, Clementine the Amazon and Hank Varney.First thing, we need to reckon with that smokey Egyptian devil. His no-good henchmen are searching for something underneath the streets of Deadwood. One thing's for sure—it's not gold.Second, the Pinkertons tracked my boys all the way to the Black Hills. I figured they would, but hoped they wouldn't. My boys will end up in jail yet.Not so long ago, Deadwood seemed like a good place to set up a freight office, but now the Hills are hip deep in bad company. Sooner or later, the devils around here are going to kill us all. Well, not all, unless you can kill a fella twice.Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/houseofmysteryradio.

Technology consultant Ann Charles on the future of podcasting after Spotify ditches some of its highest profile - and highest paid - broadcasters. Tom Nunlist, senior analyst at Trivium China, on how the authorities in Beijing are trying to regulate AI. And Alasdair Keane reports from Berlin's Green Tech Festival.

Ann and Charles are in their early thirties and found each other a few years ago. They both came to the partnership with backgrounds in non-monogamy.   Ann has been polyamorous her whole life but became self-aware of this about nine years back. Her experience was mostly in polyamory and the kink scene. Specifically, the DDLG/CGL (daddy dom little girl / caregiver little) communities. Charles on the other hand, came to the partnership with a few years of experience in the swinging lifestyle. Together, they have opened one another's eyes and worlds to new possibilities and adventures.   There is a third partner who is also part of the relationship and our conversation today: Jason. This interview was supposed to happen last year but sadly Jason was killed in a car accident. Our interview today focuses primarily on the partnership between Ann and Charles, but Jason is a big part of their lives.   We are so grateful to both Ann and Charles for sharing this powerful story and for offering to be a resource for anyone who may be experiencing a similar loss while exploring polyamory.   Check out the full show notes here.   Join the most amazing community of open-minded humans on the planet!   Skip the ads and sign up for the Premium Feed!   Click here to order your very own NNM shirt!

Ann reads an excerpt from her latest book in the Jackrabbit Junction series - Twisty Tortoise Tussels. Jackrabbit Junction Series

Overview Ann attributes a lot of her success to her marketing. She isn't talking about only advertising. This is a great discussion from an author making a living with their writing. Gain insight into what she does to keep her books flying off the shelves. YouTube Transcript [00:00:48] Stephen: great. And you've been writing for a while. You're not brand new which I think is great. What have you learned that you do different now than you used to do? Or what are some [00:01:00] things that have changed that you're looking at different or however, in the whole publishing writing thing? [00:01:06] Ann: Biggest thing that changed. It used to be yearly, but now it seems like every six months is marketing and the way I market, which is unfortunately. Marketing is a huge part of this business. If you want to, if you want to make money at this, you have to learn how to do some of the marketing things and you can adjust it to your own style. So it doesn't, maybe I'm on, social media more than you feel comfortable. That's fine. But you've got to find another way to get yourself out there and be heard above all the noise. And I don't mean just other books and other authors. Telephone. Like we were talking, there's so many different options now that you can sit in front of the TV and just go away for days and days. How do I get them to look away from the TV and read my books and give that a try or listen? Cause I am on audio for all of my books as well. So marketing is so important. And I can tell you [00:02:00] back, like I told you, in an earlier in 2011, I did the Kindle unlimited free and it went huge way bigger than it does now, but that's because it was new and not a lot of authors were doing it yet. The market wasn't as saturated. I can't even remember how many books now you are on Amazon. It's millions. Yeah. And back then, I think there was, when I started, it was like 800,000 books were on Amazon, so it was much easier to be heard and seen and get yourself out there. So that is something that it's constantly changing. And I have to rethink my plan every year on what I'm going to do. For example, Facebook, which was so big for so long is really starting to fade and I can see it. I can feel it. And I know. Instagram's got, has some people, but that's even, take talk is now the thing. And if you're 20 or 15, like my kids in their teens, [00:03:00] they just go, yeah, just do this. But my old getting the older brain just keeps going. What? That's changed. And then my writing over the years, I've written, I think now 32 stories that I have. And I don't want to ever have someone come up to me and say, that book felt the exact same as the one before it. And the one before it, I don't want them to feel like, what are you doing? You're not even trying anything new anymore. So one of the things that I really work on with every story even novellas, I wish I could just sit down and, put out a story really quick, but I have to have a theme. There has to be a reason. There has to be something behind the story that makes it, why my brain even wants to tell it. And so I've really worked over the, especially the last five years on, on learning different ways to build the structure of a story. Writers know you've got a skeleton behind it, all that you're building and how you do that. So I've worked with different themes. I've [00:04:00] tried. Pacing things for different books. For example, book nine of my Deadwood mystery series is called gone hunting haunting. And that one is a lot of action. Most of that story is an action novel. It's just constant round room. I give you a few breaks here and there to catch your breath, but we're just action. Action. I look at my whole series and I go, okay, we really had a lot of action here and we had some here now let's, I make it a rollercoaster ride basically. And I didn't use to ever think of it that way. But now I think of every book as, as a coaster or,

Overview Ann Charles is the first USA Today Bestseller I've had on the podcast. And she didn't even know she was a bestseller when it happened. We discuss her publishing journey, which isn't what she intended to do. Originally she wanted to be Indiana Jones, and tells us the ironic reason she didn't do that. If you remember kindle worlds, it helped get her started. She has multiple series, one of which she writes with her husband, and we discuss the latest. Website https://anncharles.com/book_cat/jackrabbit-junction/ Book Favorites Louis Lamour - Flint https://www.amazon.com/One-Navajo-Family-Blessings-Book-ebook/dp/B01M0NH3VV/ref=sr_1_1 YouTube Transcript [00:00:44] Stephen: Welcome to another great episode of discovered wordsmiths. And this is an exciting episode because today I have the very first USA today, bestseller that is on been on my podcast. Now, normally I wouldn't even come close to having someone [00:01:00] like that on here because. That's not what I focus on. I focus on new authors, still working hard for their career. But Anne is a little different. I know a lot of you probably have any unheard of her and she got the USA bestseller kind of by surprise didn't even expect it. But that doesn't mean that she didn't deserve it. So it's an exciting one for me, because she's still unknown. Somebody that everybody talks about and fits very well on the podcast and has a whole lot of things that can help to help other authors and things to talk about for other authors plus has some really great books. So that's always the best part of it is finding some really great books that people can go out and read. So I'm not going to sit around too much longer here. I know Anne's been waiting to get this podcast episode up anyway, so here. All right. So today discovered will wordsmiths. I've got an Charles and I'm really excited to [00:02:00] talk to you. How are you doing today? I am. [00:02:02] Ann: I'm doing great so far, tomorrow's the big Turkey day for us here. So I'm making a lot of, not eating much today so I can eat so much pie tomorrow. I just got. [00:02:12] Stephen: Yeah, we've got way more pies planned and I think should be humanly feasible, but [00:02:17] Ann: I don't know. There's never too much pie for those of us who love [00:02:21] Stephen: desert. I'm the, obviously I do the Turkey, that's my things. And I've got a really good system and I'm just so proud of. I actually remembered all the steps so far. It took it out, put it in the brine. I, usually I miss something, so all good. I was [00:02:36] Ann: just going to ask if you have it bright if you're brining it yet. So here on, [00:02:40] Stephen: yeah, I, I am my wife wants to do like a oil roaster one year. We haven't done that yet, we'll see. And we're chatting a bit, but tell everybody a little bit about who you are, where you live, what you like to do. [00:02:53] Ann: Besides writing and Charles and I live in Prescott, Arizona, we're up in the mountains for those of you. Aren't [00:03:00] familiar with Arizona. We're not down in the desert, like the Phoenix folks and outside of writing. Of course I like to read, but I also love to watch movies. We were talking about your star wars and Raiders of the lost Ark and all that good stuff. So I love all kinds of movies, but action, adventure. Saifai anything fun? Humor, my favorites. And I actually, I really like to watch movies instead of read books because. It recharges me in a way that's different. I do love to read books. Don't get me wrong, but there's something about, I think I'm a visual learner. So watching movies really helps me think about how to create dialogue and set up a scene and things like that. When I go to sit down and write a story [00:03:45] Stephen: it's a quicker process that you can rather than spread out over, an hour and a half. All right. Yeah. I see that [00:03:53] Ann: too. Yeah.
