Well, it didn’t happen this year, but we got closer.
Last year, Quarter Share was eligible, and nominated, but didn’t make it to the finals.
This year, the other three novels were eligible and nominated. Full Share and South Coast made it into the finals, but Mur Lafferty’s Playing for Keeps won. I can’t find any [...]

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.

It’s taken a few days, but Double Share is now available at the iTunes Store as well as Podiobooks.
Any and all reviews you’d care to make there will help the cause as well.

It occurred to me late last night that I needed a promo for people to play on other podcasts and I wanted to do something a little different.
How’s this?
I should probably point out that this IS a drill… the book’s not on Podiobooks yet.
UPDATE: Some of the listeners have raised the [...]

Since you’ve all been so nice, I’ll post the first episode prototype here. It’s the full text, but the ID3 tags are messed up, there’s, no cover art in it, and there may well be editing flubs since even the QC team hasn’t heard this full episode yet.
Direct from me, to you.

OK, it’s a tease … but I think this is where I’m going. I just did this take this morning as a final “dial in” on the audio settings for the gear.
What do you think? Can you listen to 25 episodes? The real ones will be longer, I promise.

One of you wonderful fans sent me a link this great medley of jigs from a Canadian Band named Great Big Sea. The music is from PodShow so is licensed for use in podcasts already. I like this tune and think it would be more compelling than the sparse sounds of the other tune.
How [...]

Yes. Faithful Fans.
The book is complete. It needs some polish, probably a little fiddling. I’m sure I’ve crossed up a plot line or two, but it’s complete.
Last Friday the book was 78k. By Monday it was 96k. I threw away 15k words because the flow was wrong and then rearranged the rest. What [...]
