I’m way behind and I need to upgrade. I hope this doesn’t screw up too much, but it needs to happen. Bear with me

It was a strong field and the newcomer to the mix beat us out. Congrats to James Durham and FETIDUS for a double Parsec win. Time to start planning for next year.

The finalist list for 2008-2009 Parsec Award is up and Double Share made it. Thank you, judges, for picking me for the second year in a row. This makes the third one of my books to make it to the finals list. I’m feeling truly honored! The competition is pretty strong so I’m not holding [...]

Today’s the day another of the Podiobook authors hits the shelves. Seth Harwood’s crime noir saga is out today and in honor of that, he’s giving away these chapters of Jack Wakes Up in PDF format. I know it’s not sci-fi but for those who like crime stories — and there must be at least [...]
