Hey folks.

You may know that I’m a writer and a podcaster. You may also have guessed from the title that today (May 19) is my birthday. As such, here are two things you can do for my birthday gift, if you felt so inclined. One costs money, the other is free, and you can do either/or. Or neither, ya silly goose.

Rate My Podcast

If you have an iPhone, go to PODCASTS and search “CREATIVE OPS”. Open the show, rate it out of 5 stars, and write a short review. Even if it’s a simple sentence.

Why? Well, because Apple notices when people leave reviews. When Apple notices, it’s more likely to show it to other people. So by rating and reviewing the podcast, you’re kind of helping me spread the word.

And I appreciate that.

Buy My Book

It’s called Switchers and it’s about teens in 1996 who face off against malevolent time travelers in a fight for their lives. And some of the time travelers are older versions of themselves. (No, it’s not a true…ya know what, sure, it is a true story (all the more reason to buy it (ya silly goose)).)

Anyway, the e-book presale is on and it’s less than $5 (at least for now).

If you like thrillers, scifi, and/or horror, I think you’ll be glad you read this one.

Alright folks. Don’t forget to listen to the podcast!

Goodbye, folks! (For now…) – Creative Ops

Find me, Christopher Tallon, slinging my novel Switchers in-person the next few weekends: September 8 & 9, 5p-11p, After Dark Art Market, Canal Park in Grand Rapids, MI (shout out to Lions & Rabbits Center for the Arts for the event) September 16, 10a-1p, Author's Alley, Hyne Alley, Brighton, MI (thank you to 2 Dandelions Bookshop for the opportunity) .   .   . Goodbye, folks! (For now…) I'm not "ending" the show. Let's be clear there. I just need to free up time. I'm in the middle of writing another novel and I still have yet to record the audiobook for my first novel. So I'm going to be doing those two things mainly in the time previously spent booking, recording, editing, and promoting the podcast. HUGE THANKS to all the listeners who got a copy of my debut novel Switchers. You guys are amazing, creative, supportive people. I appreciate you very much. For the first few months, you were the only audience I had. I hope you'll stay subscribed so we can catch up when the show returns. And I might do an episode here or there while on hiatus. There are people and things I still want to talk to and/or about. And I'll probably use the podcast to give updates on the new book as it progresses and whatnot. Stay creative. Thanks for listening. I'll talk to you again.   Your friend in creativity, Christopher Tallon
