The recipient of a Guggenheim Fellowship, a Berlin Prize, the Rome Prize in Literature, and a Whiting Award, she is also the author of What Are You Going Through, Salvation City, The Last of Her Kind, A Feather on the Breath of God, and Sempre Susan, a memoir about her friend and mentor Susan Sontag.

Hoke is also the author of four other books, including a memoir titled Sticker, and his play At Sundown premiered at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe. His other work has appeared in No Tokens, Triangle House, Electric Literature, Carve, and the flash noir anthology Tiny Crimes. Co-creator of the Los Angeles-based Enter>text performance series and the humor editor at The Offing, he has taught at CalArts and the UVA Young Writers Workshop.

It can be easy to relegate Halloween to the realm of a kitsch festival every year but to do so would be a mistake. Here in Ireland Halloween or Oíche Shamhna, was an important festival for both recognising the dead and the beginning of the darker half of the year. There was a recognition that acceptance of that darkness was important. In this week's special Halloween episode I'm going to discuss three poems from three poets, each dealing with the supernatural in their own way. Those poems are:Her Kind by Anne SextonIn The Desert by Stephen Crane The Witches Hex an Enemy by Jessica TraynorEach of these works uses darkness and the macabre in the hopes of unearthing some kind of insight. Does it work? I'll let you be the judge.*A special thank you to Jessica Traynor for allowing me to use her poem.

Niamh Boyce's debut novel, The Herbalist, a 'deeply moving and viscerally powerful novel about the lives of women in 1930s Ireland', was released back in 2013. Boyce's follow-up, Her Kind, the subject of this episode's conversation, is also a historical novel set in Ireland but we have to look much further back to the 14th century for the events that inspired it. The Kilkenny Witch Trial, while historically significant, has been neglected in fiction and Boyce's novel intends to shift the perspective to those central to the trial: Alice Kyteler and her servant Petronilla. Her Kind is published by Penguin Ireland - find out more, including where to buy the book, here (https://www.sublimehorror.com/herkind/) .

For decades, Jeanne Winer was a successful criminal defense attorney based in Boulder. Over 35 years she represented thousands of individuals and her cases have included murder and kidnapping and a death row case.  Jeanne Winer also played a key role in a landmark civil rights case that worked its way all the way to the U.S. Supreme Court. All along the way, Jeanne harbored a dream to write fiction.  In 2012, Jeanne published her first novel The Furthest City Light through Bella Books and now, six years later Jeanne’s second novel, Her Kind of Case, is being published by Bancroft Books. In fact, it comes out next week (Aug. 15) and Jeanne has two upcoming launch events—one in her home town of Boulder and one in Denver. Her Kind of Case has already drawn starred reviews from Booklist, Kirkus and Library Journal. Longtime best-selling mystery writer Stephanie Kane called it “an entertaining story with an immense heart.” As you will hear, Jeanne is humble, under-stated, and has it all in perspective.

Whenever I speak with Kathryn Roy I learn something. I learned a lot when I spent an hour talking to this remarkably incisive thinker. Kathryn has advised some of the most dynamic technology companies of our time including Lotus, Kronos, Phase Forward, IBM, Computer Associates, Avid and Constant Contact. The qualities that make her ideas prized in so many executive suites were in full display during this delightful interview. Here are some quotes from our conversation. “The hardest thing about marketing and messaging is figuring out what you're not going to say.” Speaking about what she calls The Curse of Knowledge she says: “When you're steeped in a technical domain, you start talking to other people as if they have the exact same context in their heads.” Speaking about what companies should put on their websites she says: “What's really important is to let the visitor see, at a glance, what could you do for me? What problem could you solve, and do you solve it for other companies like me?” “I always tell the companies I work with: never brag about yourself. You can get a customer quote, and they can talk about you, but when you brag about yourself, it is totally discounted by prospects.” “I think that's a challenge I see in a lot of companies, because you get marketing people and they want to work on fun things. They want to work on beautiful graphics. They want to have great events. The real benefit or the most important thing that you can do is understand the customer's needs, no matter how boring they are.”   Here are the topics covered during our interview:   Kathryn Roy Bio From Math Major to Harvard MBA Early Incarnation of Artificial Intelligence – Kathryn Roy’s First Experience in a Startup – Product in Search of Market – Classic Problem Described by Geoffrey Moore Kathryn Roy Goes to a Dungeons & Dragons Company Next – Finds Her True Calling – Marketing & Behavioral Economics Not Being Cut Out for Coding Did Not Discourage Kathryn Roy – She Knew Where She Could Better Use Her Acute Powers of Reasoning Kathryn Roy Finds That There Is a Market for Her Kind of Thinking Peace Corps & BBN Planet by Accident By Teaching I Learn – Docendo Discimus – Kathryn Roy Decides to Learn More About Marketing by Teaching Marketing But Ends Up at BBN Planet Instead Phase Forward – More Open Communication with Clients Bought Time to Succeed One of Kathryn Roy’s Marketing Tricks: Give Away Something of Value to Customers Which Is Relatively Easy for You to Create – It Gets You Mindshare – Two Excellent Examples Given Marketing People Want to Work on Fun Stuff – Graphics, Events, etc. – Should Focus Instead on Boring Things that Address Customer Needs Kathryn Roy Finds a Natural Fit between Her Approach to Marketing & Consulting Angel Invest Boston Brings You Outstanding Guests like Kathryn Roy, with Professional Sound Quality, at No Cost to You and with No Commercials – Give Back by Reviewing Us in iTunes & Spreading the Word Kathryn Roy’s Three Bits of Advice for Founders One – Make Sure You Have Critical Skill Within the Founding Team – Hard to Get Otherwise Two – Narrow Your Focus to a Group of Buyers That Have Common Needs & Consider Each Other References Three – Don’t Be Seduced by Fads Founders Frequently Get Into Trouble by Not Recognizing the Differences between B2B and B2C Marketing – Taglines: Less Is More “The hardest thing about marketing and messaging is figuring out what you're not going to say.” How Kathryn Roy Became an Angel Investor What Does Kathryn Roy Look for in a Founding Team?
