South Coast: Episode #1

South Coast: A Shaman’s Tale from the Golden Age of the Solar Clipper

Otto was the only son of Richard Krugg and heir to the Shaman’s Gift. The only problem was he didn’t want it. When Company production quotas force unwelcome changes onto his life and threaten even the security of the village, he discovers that being a shaman isn’t really optional and, along the way, that it’s not that bad.

Coming in December from Podiobooks.Com but for all the faithful fans who’ve been almost patient, here’s Episode 1.

Please let me know what you think before I get too far down the road with it.

Episode 01: Otto learns that being a shaman is probably even less fun than he thought. Jimmy Pirano faces some very tough choices (Chapters 1-3).

Big Time!

By The Captain on December 3, 2007

Those who like their Podiobooks with a little more bite will have already found Scott Sigler’s excellent body of work. His books regularly reach 30,000 listeners. If you’ve ever wondered where the references to “chicken scissors” come from around the podosphere in the last few months, it’s Scott. The chicken scissors played a pivotal role in his podcast novel Infection.

Well, Scott has a new book in his campaign to take over the world, Nocturnal, and I had the opportunity to participate!

At the beginning of each episode, Scott invites a guest reader from around the podosphere to read “the story so far” segment and for episode 6, I’m the guest reader. I have to say it was a thrill and a half to be able to play along with Scott in his latest effort.

Go on over to ScottSigler.Com and help Scott take over the world.

Figgers. Having done the whole cover art concept and all .. I need to change it because it doesn’t sound right when I read it outloud.

I’m starting recording tonight!

Coffee Mugs?

By The Captain on December 1, 2007

Ok, this is probably too cheezy for words, but for those who want something a little more concrete than a digital file … How about a coffee mug from the galley of the Lois McKendrick?
