Nicky on Deadman's Tome Podcast

Hello, folks. It's been quite a while since I posted here. Time for a brief update.

In recent years, Nicky has been pretty silent. He was relocated to MOTY's house in Florida and, amidst the gators and palm trees and surfer dudes, reduced to posting on Facebook and emailing people about projects that never come to fruition. I think the only place that will publish his "writing" is The Book Patch.

On December 7, 2018, however, he was interviewed by Deadman's Tome on their podcast. The result was predictably hilarious and often incoherent as Nicky cannot speak clearly to save his life. Issues familiar to EONs were covered, and yours truly got a mention starting around 56 minutes into the podcast.

Unfortunately, several of my interactions with Nicky were conflated by the hosts--and no offense meant to them as Nicky's shenanigans are vast and varied and no doubt hard to keep track of for those who didn't live through them.

My initial interaction with Nicky on Spinetinglers was mentioned. That was where I made some mild criticisms of Spectral Exile and he went bonkers. That blog entry is still my most visited. Also referenced was my finding his story "The Witch's Party" in the Google cache for The Dark Fiction Spotlight and downloading two of his books for free from Lulu (no link, that was from my dead Xanga blog, and long-time EONs will remember that was where Nicky responded with empty threats to burn down my house.) Nicky also rambled on about me pirating some of his work.

The podcast is almost two hours long but might be amusing for some. Check it out if you have some time to kill!
