Welcome to Chapter 72!

I’ve got an incredibly fun conversation for you this month with the folks from Goblin Booth Productions which is a media production company from Norman that moved into the world of publishing in May by releasing their first book - First Degree Magic by J.M. Linkhart. In this conversation, I’m joined by the author of First Degree Magic, Jessica Linkhart, (who also happens to be the creative director of Goblin Booth Productions) and two other members of the GBP crew - Jamie Sykes (who handles the business side of Goblin Booth) and Mitchell Lewis (Goblin Booth’s art director and designer). We talk about First Degree Magic, how Goblin Booth got started, their work in the podcasting and audio space, the challenges and opportunities of independent content creation, and we get to the bottom of why they are called Goblin Booth.

The Brothers Ortiz

The Brothers Ortiz

The Brothers Ortiz is the story of two brothers–both successful, but in very different ways. Gabe Ortiz becomes a third-highest ranking officer in all of Texas while his younger brother Larry climbs the ranks in Puro Tango Blast, a notorious Texas Prison gang. Gabe doesn’t know all the details of his brother’s nefarious dealings, and he’s made a point not to ask, to protect their relationship. But when Larry is murdered during a home invasion in a rented beach house, Gabe has no choice but to look into what happened that night. To solve Larry’s murder, Gabe, and the whole Ortiz family, must ask each other tough questions.
