Raven Radio - Sum it up for us

Raven Radio
As mentioned in Romantic Times Magazine.

Authors Michelle Pillow and Mandy Roth talk about everything and nothing with NY Times and USA Today Bestselling authors as well as those wonderfully talented authors soon to be there. *wink* Authors are often lured into our usually digressed topics where we end up discussing chocolate allergies, beauty products and interpretive dance as well as all things paranormal.

How do the two of you manage to juggle your lives, writing and Raven Radio/The Raven?
Michelle: Lots and Lots of Coffee. And it helps to be work-a-holics.
Mandy: I'm with my conscience (Michelle) on this one. We need IV drips of coffee and we are certainly work-a-holics.

How did Raven Radio come to be?

When we started our free story for readers, Raven Happy Hour, those few years ago, we never expected it to be such an incredible journey. But, nearly 50 chapters later, a paranormal blog, website, yahoo group, cult following and Raven minions, we’ve embarked on our latest adventure—a live, weekly Raven Radio show.

Raven Radio was a natural progression for us. It offered another outlet to express ourselves, our creativity and to invite friends of ours to hang out and share in the gabbing. Fortunately for us, the listeners seem to enjoy hearing us talk about everything and nothing and just generally being our normal, comical selves. We started off prerecording the shows and splicing them together. We’re now up to weekly, live shows. All the more fun to screw up without a net while talking to New York Times and USA Today Bestselling authors as well as those wonderfully talented authors soon to be there. *wink* We’ve had some really amazing authors join us on Raven. To name a few… Jacquelyn Frank, Gena Showalter, Jaci Burton, Lauren Dane, Anya Bast and Caridid Pineiro. And Raven Radio was recently mentioned in Romantic Times Magazine.

All the shows are archived afterwards and uploaded onto our subscriber sites to be listened to at leisure. Our most recent guest was author, Gena Showalter, who talked about her new series, Lords of the Underworld. But, as the interview proves, we often lured her into our usually digressed topics and ended up discussing chocolate allergies, beauty products and interpretive dance. Other shows feature Mandy and Michelle switching roles while Mandy’s live at a coffee shop and Michelle’s left in charge of the controls with no clue on how to run them. Callers were welcomed with the pleasant sound effect of a toilet flushing whenever they called in. Needless to say, Michelle’s controls were taken away and the password changed. *laughing*

Listeners are welcome to join the live chat or call in to the show to talk to us and our guests. The show will move to its new evening schedule, May 28th where listeners can catch us every Wednesday at 11PM to 12AM EST. We have a lot of authors on the upcoming line up and you can see a full schedule of guests here: http://ravenhappyhour.com/raven_podcast_schedule_of_guests.htm

What can fans expect to see from you in the future?
Michelle: We have several joint projects and solo projects planned. My newest release, Recipe for Disaster, will be on bookshelves June 10th.

Mandy: Daughter of Darkness III: Bella Mia releases the end of June. *sings finally, its happened to me*

We’ve got a good number of joint projects in the works as well as individual ones. I keep telling Michelle that the sky’s the limit. She keeps telling me to put more clothes on, I’m flashing people again.
