I read a lot of books, drink too much coffee, and usually go to bed early.
I operate a book club you'll want to join at patreon.com/RandyRay
On this channel, I talk about what I’m reading with fellow book lovers. I focus on classics, literary fiction, fantasy, horror, and science fiction—with the occasional memoir or biography sneaking in.
If you're into smart conversation, forgotten gems, and a few surprises along the way, you're in the right place. And if you're thinking about starting your own BookTube channel—do it. It's easier (and more fun) than you think.

Be sure to tune in today for a special episode at a special time. This will be an especially great episode if you're an aspiring writer. Dean Wesley Smith had probably forgotten more about writing n professionally than most people will ever learn.

Join us Friday for a special BONUS episode with guest Dean Wesley Smith. He's a brilliant writer with some contrarian ideas about the business and craft of writing. I, for one, can't wait to hear from him.
And don't worry. @BookTimewithElvis will be there, too. If you haven't already subscribed to his channel, you should do so, and do so today. You don't want to miss any of the cool stuff he's cooking up on his channel.

This week on Books & Banter Live, Mark and I are talking with Gordon Van Gelder.
Gordon is one of the most important editors in modern science fiction and fantasy. He spent nearly two decades editing The Magazine of Fantasy & Science Fiction, eventually became its publisher, and winning two Hugo Awards along the way.
We’re going to talk about his career, F&SF, editing, writers, short fiction, and a whole lot more.
Join me and Mark @BookTimewithElvis Wednesday at noon Central. This should be a fun one.
