I recently joined a group of fine podcasters who call themselves the Slightly Irregular Podcast Network (or SIPNetwork for short). The SIPNetwork is a group of fellas with a passion for what they do... ranging from science fiction, to horror, classic film, the paranormal, the cold war, and everyday shenanigans that happen in our lives. …

https://www.podbean.com/media/share/pb-82n8k-98e1f2 Welcome to Episode 006 of From the Wastes in which I chat with Evan Pickering. Independent author and creator of the post-apocalyptic book series, American Rebirth. We discuss his books, the PA genre in general, movies, video games, Cormac McCarthy and Richard Matheson, using social media for marketing, how he deals with negative …
I recently had the opportunity to chat with Joshua Gayou, author of the post-apocalyptic series, Commune. It was one of my favorite stories of 2017. I'd read Books I and II, as well as listened to the audiobook version of Book I, narrated by R.C. Bray. Mr. Bray brought something really amazing to the story …
I first came to know JJ Shurte through twitter a few years back. He was a very interesting fella from Australia and had what seemed to be a bottomless well of knowledge when it came to post-apocalyptic video games and books. I'd soon find out that he was working on a book himself. When I found …

I know it's 2017, but it's barely 2017 and seeing as how I'd (hopefully) be late for my own funeral, I figured it wasn't too late to talk about my favorite end-of-the-world stories from 2016. I don't keep track of how many books I read in a year... I should probably start doing that. I've …
‘I and the others like me are the human roots left after the Madness. We are like nature’s soul, small as we are.’
It's been at least a couple of years since I first met Drew Avera (real quick - his last name is pronounced "averee"... yeah, I know... I screwed it up too). I'd read a few of his books (in fact, a couple of them were some of the earliest ebooks I had downloaded) and then ended …

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oEGmdjdqDJU I came across Tyler Bumpus early this past winter of 2016 (February, more specifically) when I read the first book in his Swallowed World post-apocalypse series, The Eternal Season. I was enthralled... I was amazed... this was one seriously kick-ass PA story. You can read my review here. There have been two postapoc stories that …
I was recently contacted by author Carrie Bailey, asking me if she could write a guest post on my blog. Naturally, my reply was "Absolutely!". Carrie is self described as a "Writer. Artist. Coffee drinker. Minimalist. Global nomad. Professional information gatherer. Lover of logic. Conversationalist." I know her as an author of post-apocalyptic fiction and an excellent example …
