The second video I’m posting isn’t a video with Stacia. However, you get to hear Stacia in it. It’s Episode 14 of Book Chatter, where we see Stacey Cochran talk to several writers, although we only hear the writers.
Stacey Cochran, the moderator of the chat, gives a description of the video:
Book Chatter Episode 14 with Stacia Kane, Jackie Kessler, Paul Clayton, Elisa Lorello, Simon Wood, Holly Christine, and RJ Keller.

We hear Stacia at the beginning of the video, where she introduces herself:
Hi! I started out, actually, in erotic romance, e-publishing with Ellora’s Cave, under a different pen name. And now I write a kind of semi-lighthearted, romantic Urban Fantasy series. The Megan Chase books for Juno Pocket. There are two books out in that series so far, Personal Demons and Demon Inside, and the third book, Demon Possessed, comes out February 23rd. And then I have a new series that I’m really excited about. Very dark Urban Fantasy. It’s about ghosts and drug addicts and ghettos and punk rock. I really love it. And that comes out from Del Rey, the first book, Unholy Ghosts May 25th. The second book June 22th. And the third July 27th.
Then follows a discussion about the Harlequin controversy. (For details, listen to the chat.)
Around 0:42 Stacia tells us how she acquired her agent for her Urban Fantasy series.
Around 1:04 Stacia talks about e-publishing, and her books as e-books, audiobooks and foreign language rights. She also talks about How to be a sex-writing strumpet and that she’d been thinking about publishing it as an e-book.
Around 1:10 Stacia talks about marketing strategies, and if she’s noticed anything in particular that influenced number of books sold, with things like web presence and word of mouth.
The last 20 minutes of the video is hilarious. That’s when Stacey steps away from the computer, get something to drink, and puts on some music for the people still watching the live feed. lol
