Lisa Paitz Spindler, Danger Gal

On Tuesday, I will be joining author Ella Drake and blogger Doug “SciFi Guy” Knipe on December 1, 2009 during Rowena Cherry’s Crazy Tuesday podcast.

On the first Tuesday of each month, from 10:00 am Eastern until noon, sit back, and hang loose with unrehearsed, unscripted, freewheeling, live chatter between authors, reviewers, pr people, and booklovers.

I will be appearing in the 11:15-11:40 AM EST.

Join us for the live chat where we will be discussing the unique attributes of the Science Fiction Romance genre. Please text questions to the show at (734) 277-2733. If you have any questions for me, feel free to Tweet me before or during the show.

With The Galaxy Express at the helm, starting Sunday, December 6, the science fiction romance community is launching the SFR Holiday Blitz.
