John and Dave on radio again: 186 stations

Well, John Silveira and I are going to try radio again. We’ll be on “Overnight AM” with Lan Lamphere tomorrow night (Friday) at 9 pm Pacific time. It will air on 186 stations. He has a big audience: 3 million listeners. You can listen live by clicking here, then clicking the “Tune In Free” button at the right. He mainly wants to talk with John about his book, The Coming American Dictatorship.

We finished deadline successfully for the next issue and are now mopping up various anthology and book projects. We’re still pretty busy at the office.

Deadline, deadline, deadline!

Who has time for blogs when it’s deadline? Annie came back from pneumonia and put in five straight 12-hour days. Lenie even longer. I just got home from the office at 7:51 pm and they’re still at the office. There oughta be a law that we don’t have to work this hard! Maybe I should form a union or become a Democrat. Yuk! Yuk!

Claire Wolfe’s “Hardyville” coming up

We may be on deadline for the next issue, but we’re also tackling other projects. One especially important task we’ve been working on is publishing the upcoming book, Hardyville, by Claire Wolfe.

Claire has written for BHM’s print issue off and on since 2001 (Issue No. 70). She has been a regular columnist since Issue No. 106. Her Hardyville series began online at her own blog (now discontinued) years before she began writing for BHM, and the series was renewed at the Backwoods Home Magazine website on Oct. 15, 2003.

This is a timeless collection of stories about freedom in a small town. We thought we’d have it published by now, but Annie’s illness, production of our two big anthologies 15 and 16, and now deadline for the next issue have all conspired to delay things.

But our Rhoda Denning has finished proofing Claire’s manuscript for typos and such, and we should get it to the printer by the end of March.

Claire, by the way, began a new blog Jan. 20, 2010 on the BHM website.

Emergency Preparedness & Survival Guide

The Chile earthquake tends to wake one up to the idea of preparedness. It’s probably a good time to get out your copy of Backwoods Home Magazine’s Emergency Preparedness and Survival Guide and see if you’re ready for an emergency.

Back at the helm again for our next issue

Annie is back to work. Just in time because we have gone into deadline for our next issue. I swapped offices with her so now she has a nice big office that she’s turned into a combo office/ playroom for the grandkids. Erik has gone back to the Marine Corps and will return home for good in May.
