Back in January we had a Contributor Appreciation promotion, where we randomly drew four winners from our list of contributors. They received a prize from our sponsor, Channillo.com and the chance to have an interview feature on the show. Today I am delighted to bring you the second of those interviews.
This episode introduces you to Sarah Mitchell-Jackson, whose story, as with our special episode from two weeks ago, was featured on last week’s episode. Sarah was kind enough to jump onto Skype with me and talk about her writing, her inspirations, and what it's like to be nominated for a Pushcart Prize.
I hope you enjoy this special feature, and stay tuned for a new episode with three short stories coming next week.

This episode introduces you to Nels Hanson, whose story, by coincidence, was featured on last week's episode. Nels and I were not able to connect directly, but he was kind enough to record his answers to my questions. It's a fabulous insight into the inspirations of an author, especially after having just heard his story on the show.
I hope you enjoy this special feature, and stay tuned for a new episode with two short stories coming next week.
