A resident of Germany, I interviewed speculative fiction and mystery author, Cora Buhlert on Krampus Nacht. In the midst of our interview, Cora received a visitor. I hope everything's alright.

Cora Buhlert was born and bred in Bremen, North Germany, where she still lives today – after time spent in London, Singapore, Rotterdam and Mississippi. Cora holds an MA degree in English from the University of Bremen and is currently working towards her PhD.

Cora has been writing, since she was a teenager, and has published stories, articles and poetry in various international magazines. She is the author of the Silencer series of pulp style thrillers, the Shattered Empire space opera series, the In Love and War space opera romance series, the Hallowind Cove cozy fantasy series, the Helen Shepherd Mysteries and plenty of other stories in multiple genres. When Cora is not writing, she works as a translator and teacher.

Mikey Chlanda writes crime fiction. No, scratch that, he writes fireman fiction. Well, no, he writes fire fighter history. Actually, he writes it all, and luckily for us, he enjoys telling people about it.

Mikey Chlanda is the author of fourteen books under his own name and two pseudonyms with the subject matter ranging from firefighting to drummer jokes to heist novels. Chlanda writes regularly for Huffington Post, Writers Weekly, and Forbes.com. His work has been published by Village Voice, ESPN.com, Fire Engineering and more. Chlanda is currently working on "Antioch College: The Arthur Morgan Years", due out in December 2018.

Chlanda also talks on writing, self-publishing, and firefighting. In April 2018, he gave two talks at the Columbus library on self-publishing and avoiding scams as an author. He was a featured speaker at the 2017 Indie Author Day event at the Boone County Library. He's also given talks at the Kenton County Library, Louisville Library, and various fire museums. He was born in and raised in New York City (born 1961 - ). Chlanda came to Yellow Springs to go to Antioch College. When Maples (the college fire department) found out Chlanda had been an ER Tech in a Manhattan emergency room, they made him join. Chlanda fell in love with the fire service and after college, he joined the village fire department, ending up taking injury retirement as a fire lieutenant.

Chlanda started writing his first book, "Maples: A History of the Antioch College Fire Department", a history of the only student-run fire department in the world, for something to do in between surgeries and rehab. When it sold over 2600 copies the first year, he thought he could make a living at this writing thing.

He lives outside Cincinnati, Ohio, but wishes he could be in New York City
