Parsec Awards 2009

For the third year in a row, I’ve got a book in the Parsec Awards. To be eligible for a Parsec Award this year the podcast had to have been made between May 1, 2008, and April 31, 2009. The only title eligible this year is Double Share, because I’m such a derelict I only wrote and podcast a single title last year.

As part of that effort, I had to put together a 1-hour sample file of up to 6-clips from the novel as examples of what the book was.

Here it is for your listening pleasure. It’s 5seconds short of an hour.

Double Share on iTunes

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.

Double Share

Well, I always wanted to have a big release party. People across America will be joining me in celebration today as the latest volume in the Trader’s Tales drops on Podioboks.com. I hear there’ll be be fireworks tonight.

When he graduates from the Academy at Port Newmar, Ishmael Horatio Wang reports for duty in his first assignment as an officer. When he gets to his new ship, he finds things are not exactly the way he’d learned in school. The coffee tastes like used engine oil, the ship has no heart, and the nearest decent tailor is two quadrants away. What’s a new Third Mate to do? Will he be able to trust Billy?

Double Share Promo

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 issue — Does this give too much away? I actually *thought* that when I was putting it together, and I think I agree that it does. I’ve got a revised version that I’ll put up today. Here’s new version that I think works a bit better.

Double Share : Episode One

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.

Thanks to Great Big Sea for the music .. and I’m hoping they’ll get back from Vancouver soon and check their email.

The music came from Podshow’s Music Directory
