The Body As Haunted
The Body as Haunted is the debut poetry collection of Pixie Bruner. Like a cat, she has led many lives. This themed collection centers around the theme of the body and all the ways it is, and can be haunted, for good and ill, yet carries on. This is her family ghosts, the dead, her almost death and rebirth from cancer, madness, passion, her fears, her fury, and so much abundant and dangerous love, told without mercy and contains selections covering over 30 years of spoken word pieces and poetry.

Can someone explain to me what is so punk about steampunk? Or any of these subgenres. Why slap punk at the end of it? Why not give these subgenres their own unique name instead? I haven't seen anything punk about steampunk. I like the whole concept behind steampunk, but I don't see anything punk about it.
The name was derived from the term cyberpunk and was coined by author K. W. Jeter. Fringe societies or the concept of anarchy are often themes in these books, so yes, there can be a "punk" element to the genre.
Great interview!
Thanks so much for this lovely review! I just found the video today.
This looks very fun and cool.
Thanks.
Love it keep it up❤🎉😊
Love the cover examples to illustrate the point! Nice work
Category search vs keyword search having different targets--good point
did i reach my comment quota? it's not letting me add any more...
Are you a Historical Romance or a Romantic Historical? Hmmm... would that come down to tone or ending, do you think?
I would amend my metaphor about targeting the whole genre from spaghetti on the wall to... pi$$ing in the wind lol
A romance genre always comes down to the ending. If it doesn't have the Happily Ever After or Happy for Now, fans will say not romance.
I can't remember if it was this presentation or another one, but someone asked about 'YA' being a genre, and I thought that was an important delineation: an age category tells you nothing about the story, but it does tell you about some expectations, namely age of protagonist and probably no graphic violence or sex. But it might be confusing for people thinking about genre to have that thrown in! (not that you did, Anita, but in general) 😇
YA is technically not a genre, but a marketing category and label. But the edges there are a bit muddled.
wow very very nice work
Just a quick update. In the video I mentioned and briefly demonstrated Publisher Rocket (no affiliation). They are coming out with MAJOR updates and the price for new buyers will increase in early July as a result.
Caught this on replay and Wow, what a wealth of knowledge. Especially loved the cover comparisons. Thanks!
Glad you enjoyed it and found it helpful.
Great interview will you interview other poets ?
Not sure. I'm not doing the regular interview show anymore, but it's possible I may interview some poets in the future.
Beautiful ❤️ Thank you for narrating.
Glad you enjoyed it.
A gorgeous form I need to explore! A theme very near and dear to me!!
I like 'akimbo' when it shows up! Also, I just learned about a form called the Golden Shovel, of all things! Have you tried one of those??
No, I haven't tried that one. I'll have to look it up.
Beautiful villanelle!
Thank you.
Love the internal rhyme there at the beginning and in the repetition of those lines later. Thank you for sharing 💙
Glad you enjoyed it.
Congrats on the podcast! 🎉 I’m happy you participated. I’m actually seeing this after your wrap up. 😂
I had fun. I didn't think I would participate until I remembered I had The Undertaker's Assistant in my Kindle. It fit the Readathon perfectly. And I actually stumbled on The Seamstress of New Orleans through the Undertaker's Assistant's Goodreads page.
@@AFStewart I made a note of both of those titles for possible future reads. 😀
I love the cover of The Undertaker’s Assistant. Beautiful purple. Yes, you 100% participated. The Seamstress of New Orleans also has a beautiful cover. Thanks for participating, Anita! 💛💚💜
Yeah, both covers are beautiful.
Great vudeo ! I need to read more things from you
Thank you.
Nice!
Thanks.
I think the square graphics offers opportunities to create a beautiful layout of the book. Oh no for your computer crash! I'm so sorry to hear that happened. Thank you for sharing the walk through! I started this, but got burnt out at the end of last year, and never completed it.
Yeah, I started and stopped a few times myself before I got it up and running.
Story of the author's life! @@AFStewart
Thanks so much for sharing a demo! 😃
She made it look so easy! I'm sure this will be a great hit with people on StoryOrigin. Thank you for providing this feature!
Waves hi!!! Yay for the new podcast!
Thanks. We have some interesting episodes coming up.
This was really comforting. I have been writing my first book, which is daunting enough, but have felt so discouraged lately like it won’t matter because of looming AI. People in my life telling me “oh just ask chat gbt to make your characters up”…. same with art. I’ve stopped painting due to the discouragement… people bringing me their AI art and acting like it’s the same as a painting that took me a month. What a weird time to be alive
Yeah, this AI stuff is a mess of confusion, glad I could help. And I know it's easy to become discouraged, but don't stop painting. If you enjoy it, do it for you.
Sometimes I hit too many buttons, which end up being the wrong ones. I think I worked it out.
Oh, I didn't know you were going live...I fell asleep. Margaret also tagged me on this. I love the creepy props in the background! Oh right, all the editing that will have to be done on your productivity 😆 Audiobooks are hard for me bc of being partially tone deaf. Thanks for sharing all your thoughts!
Yeah, lots of editing work for me next year. Your streams were a big help in getting the writing done.
@@AFStewart I'm glad to have you there to motivate me, too!
That's a great interview. Your channel looks great!
Thank you.
I will be reading it very soon. Once again, congratulations!
Thank you.
This was a great excerpt even though sleeping beauty is not one of the fairytales I like interesting twist
Thanks. Glad you enjoyed it.
Oooo, so pretty. Will you have a paperback, too? I'm assuming you probably will, and you're just waiting until it publishes. I have the first book in paperback so want to add this one to my collection! Okay, you just said it will be ready on the 27th! Looking forward to it coming out. 🥳🥳🥳
The paperback is scheduled for Oct 27th on Amazon. There will be a wide paperback later, through Ingram.
That is a lovely cover. I am very excited for this. I've had the ebook preordered for awhile now and look forward to purchasing a physical copy when it comes out.
Thank you.
Yay! 🎉 The paperback edition looks great. 😊
Thanks.
Religion...the original monster-creators??? 😬
Great points about appropriation and appreciation, Lucienne. 👏
Yes, such a great answer.
'How have you played with monsters' is SUCH a leading question, Anita! LOL Great panel assembled! 🧟♂
I’m excited for the release of Fairy Tales and Nightmares. 🎉 Perfect for my Folklore February readathon. I’ll try to make the launch party. I’m also not sure if I’m doing NaNoWriMo this year either. If I do, it will be about my trip to Sicily. 😊
A trip to Sicily sounds like fun.
A sale for the horror hop--brilliant! 👻
I was on a live and missed this! Ooo, love the idea of the different monsters. Notification on. I probably won't remember the Facebook party as I spend as little time as possible on that platform, but I'm very happy for your upcoming release!!
Thanks.
UPDATE: IngramSpark has made some changes to its wholesale discounts for retailers that affect author royalties. This means charging higher prices for books (for the US anyway) or lower royalties. And while IngramSpark still reigns supreme for distribution, this change puts Amazon as the frontrunner with higher royalties at lower costs for readers.
Great info!
Glad you found it helpful.
Very cool! 😊
Thanks.
Hey, there! 😊 It was nice meeting you on Margaret Pinard’s Fireside Chat. 🔥 This looks awesome! I host Folklore February, and this book would be great to add to my reading pile. 📚
It was nice meeting you too. And thanks for your interest in my book. It will be out in October if everything goes according to plan.
Ooooo, looks so interesting! This caught my attention, and I didn't even know it was you!
Thanks.
Rum-running in Nova Scotia! I love it! And we'll have to see if this is my type of cozy... I'm a hard customer to please, LOL
Hurray! Had this on my Watch Later, but was out at the grocery store during the time. Ooh, big news! Yay, Crystal Lake! 👏🥂
Thanks.
It's taking me a minute to get caught up on all the videos I have missed over the last month and a half. I really enjoyed this and find this very valuable! There wasn't a single thing that you said that I wouldn't have agreed with, although I don't have nearly experience you have. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge with us!
Thanks, glad you found it helpful.
Love this! On the next one put the voice-over text on screen
Good tip.
