As another one of Samhain’s 2007 debut authors, I can say without a doubt how excited I am to be a part of this wonderful publishing family.

Terrific interview Angie!

I’ll jump on the Samhain-loving bandwagon. It really IS all about the story, and that’s a wonderful thing for such a schitzo muse as mine. No content requirements or restrictions…love it!

Mal/Simon fanfic? Hmm…not so much Simon for me. But I don’t think I’d like Mal/Jayne fanfic any better. Nor Wash or the Shephard. Huh. Mal/bounty hunter from the last episode? He was cool.

I’m proud to be part of Samhain. I have nothing but awesome things to say about the whole process and Angie does indeed rock. She really helped me with Of the Moon, polishing it up to make it shine!

Bam, for god’s sake … don’t stop writing that! Just post it on your blog.

Agree with all of the wonderful things said about Samhain. I’ve been turning to them first more and more lately when I need a quick fix — and they have quite a few authors that I follow.

Angie, thanks for giving me the awesome plug. My first experience with Samhain was a pleasure, and all the authors only have good things to say. I look forward to a great continuing relationship.

Cap’n Tightpants melts my drawers! OMG, I started writing this futuristic m/m, but had to stop when I realized it was a thinly disguised Mal/Simon fanfic. :(

I would certainly consider it as such, yes, since it fits the elements of space opera. Larger than life, well-developed characters, romantic elements, very good/evil characters, and large, otherworld settings. Very bold, colorful, descriptive and easy to visualize details (harder to say that about a movie since the visualizations are done for you, but you get what I mean). Dramatic and big is how I think of soap operas, but not necessarily overly so.

I actually know someone who has a work in progress (a la Firefly, which she loves) and she keeps telling me to stop asking for western space operas because she doesn’t want the darn competition.

One can never have too many Cap’n Tightpants stories. ;)

I suspect that this is a very stupid question, but is Star Wars considered to be a Space Opera?

Ya know, i lurv Firefly. Must think on that one-

Glad I stopped by here today! Great interview, Angie!

Just have to say I’m very proud to be a part of the Samhain family. In addition to writing, I also read a lot of ebooks and can honestly say I’ve never, ever, read a clunker from Samhain. ;-)

Terrific interview! And woo, there’s my Viking cover. *g*

Samhain is a fantastic organization, well run, and growing!

One thing that I have noticed is that more well known authors seem more willing to write for Samhain, than EC these days, why do you think that is, considering that Samhain is basically the new kid on the block in comparison?

I do know that some pretty good authors have been turned down by EC, but have been able to find a home with Samhain, which probably explains a lot.

Like a few others have mentioned, I love buying at Samhain, it’s quick and easy, and the website doesn’t make my eyes hurt. Oh yeah, the books aren’t bad either.

Awesome interview!

So glad to be part of Samhain. Hopefully, I fall into the category of hot new talent debuting throughout the year ;)

Samhain is a quality organization from publisher to editorial to the highly talented author pool and the always welcoming readers. I couldn’t be happier to be part of this organization.

And Angie rocks ;-)
