Each Medallion Press Radio show will give listeners insights into your favorite Medallion authors, news updates, monthly editor tips, and even information on how to become a Medallion Press Insider.

Rosburg, author of Call of the Trumpet, The Dream Thief, By Honor Bound, and Ellie and the Elven King, along with Scotland native, Davie Henderson, who will speak about his new science-fiction novel, Tomorrow’s World.  Then join us on the third Wednesday of every month at 2:00pm CST for a new episode of Medallion Press Radio! There are three easy ways to access our show:
