This week's interview over on my website is with Nathan Schilz, the composer-lyricist of "Nightmare Man: A Musical," based on a Jeremy C. Schipp short story.  There's about a week left in the Kickstarter project to fund the musical's first performance, and I'm hoping the interview will help him raise the rest of the money he needs. So please check ( Read more... )
