It doesn’t seem possible, but South Coast is complete. Props to the folks at Podiobooks for all their support in getting all 21 episodes up in 12 days. It’s the longest of the books at 97k words and, I think, the most ambitious in terms of plot and characterization.

To recap this year:
- Quarter Share - 17 episodes completed in March
- Half Share – 14 episodes completed in May
- Full Share - 16 episodes completed in September (yea, sorry about that)
- South Coast – 21 episodes completed in December

That’s four books, 68 episodes, and over 24 hours of audio!

And because of YOU and your voting for the titles on Podiobooks.com, Quarter Share and Full Share are on the Top Ten for Quality *and* Most Rated. South Coast is on its way to joining them. While this might seem trivial, it really helps to keep the titles visible to newcomers to the Podiobook site. (If you haven’t rated them, please? Every little bit helps. You need to subscribe to the titles on Podiobooks to do so. )

So thanks for a great 2007 and I’m looking forward to these new projects in the coming year:

- Time Crime by H. Beam Piper. As part of the SFFAudio.com 2nd Audio Challenge, I’ll be lending voice to a classic sci fi author. Look for this to wrap by the end of January and be published on Podiobooks.com.

- Double Share – the first of the new Trader’s Tales trilogy. My calendar has this on for January to write and February to record. We’ll see how well my NaNoWriMo discipline holds up.

- Cape Grace – the link volume between South Coast and Half Share. It should be an interesting challenge to get the two story lines to link up, but I’m penciling this into March and April.

- Captain’s Share. May – June.

- Owner’s Share. July – August

… this is all with the proviso that RL doesn’t get in the way and that I can actually scrape together the time and energy to tell these stories.
