Switchers by Christopher Tallon

How do you do, sir and/or madam?

If you clicked on this for one, two, or all of the authors in the title, here’s what I’m talking about. I looked at my book’s Goodreads page and it said this:

Switchers by Christopher Tallon
My book!

And I already checked out Holly and Luther. I’ve actually been in touch with both of them and plan to have them introduce themselves and their books to my listeners over at America’s favorite podcast, Creative Ops.

So look for them, probably towards the end of summer, on Creative Ops–wherever you download podcasts!

a podcast for creative people, by creative people

And in the meantime, here are a few writer episodes you can check out. The ones that say BOOK RELEASE focus more on my book, Switchers, and I talk to my crew that helped me get that thing into the world.

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
