Welcome to Biome. This is Alex Zubin, your host, narrator, and the elf who is totally not giving you the wrong directions in the deep dark woods. [upbeat music] I'm so glad you're joining me today for our latest author interview. Last week's interview with Steve Zisson was posted in written form, which is available for free on Patreon, and you can find that link in the show notes. The story behind the story is often just as interesting as the story we read on the page. That's why today, I'm excited to share my interview with M.D. Smith, author of our eighth story, Bright Eyes and the Lantern Path. Listeners voted this story as the number one most favorite story of season one, so it's a real treat to get to chat with M.D. Bright Eyes and the Lantern Path is a wonderful story about a friendship between Bright Eyes, the cat, and his person, a witch named Tarantulina. In this story, the duo face not one, not two, but three villains who threaten the peace of old New Orleans. M.D. Smith IV of Huntsville, Alabama, writer of over 350 flash stories, has published digitally in Spillwords, Flash Fiction Magazine, Flash Phantoms, and many more. Retired from running a television station, he lives with his wife of 64 years
