Wow.
The nice people over at Sci Fi Surplus just interviewed me about a review they’re doing on Quarter Share. We had a bit of a ramble but they’re accepting comments about the book. Email your comments about Quarter Share to thegeeks@scifisurplus.com. I think they’d take voice messages to at 801-938-5525 or skype call “scifisurplus” [...]

I’m amazed!
The Parsec Awards have listed the short list finalists and BOTH Full Share and South Coast have been selected as finalists. Only one can win, of course, but hey, just getting the finalist nomination is an honor.

They’ve been down for a bit over an hour now, but anticipate being back up in the morning. This is real, live, people with their hands in the case to help Podiobooks perform better, so your [...]
