I’ve really been enjoying these stories; I’m most of the way through South Coast, and biting my nails in anticipation of Double Share

While I’m totally into the podcast novel format, I know a few people who would really love these who aren’t so much into audio fiction as I am. Any chance of these ever showing up in a print run?

Hello Nathan!
Happy to hear that Double Share is getting close reality. I’ll just continue to patiently bite my nails to stubs ….
p.s. I would love to buy these books in hardcover some day. :)

Nathan,
Question: I pulled all of these books off of itunes, not Podio. Do you distribute them to each source at the same time or will I (we) have to wait.

The iTunes feed is actually just a specialized representation of the podiobooks feed so it’s all good. There’s a *short* delay for a new feed to appear on iTunes. I have to submit each book separately which means a new submission and approval process. That takes a day or so. But I start the iTunes submission process as soon as the title appears on podiobooks.

I have to say of all the science fiction I have read (or listened to in this case), I am the most impressed by your works. What really wins me is the main character, Ish. I’ve always wanted an intelligent hero that happens to be smarter than most of his obstacles. While not an epic struggle, the realistic problems he faces make the setting and Ish all the more lovable. Currently, you rival my favorite Fantasy author; Robert Lynn Asprin. In fact, you just might surpass him in my personal hierarchy of best authors. I hope you will keep the series, or at least the setting, going for a long time.

I just finished Double Share. Wonderful ! But I have a few friends who would rather read a dead tree version of your novel. Oh, and those friends also read french much better than english. Any chance of getting my wish fulfilled ?
And thanks agoin for you work. Keep writing, I’ll keep listening !

Just finished Double Share. I don’t know what to say…. these books have been wonderful. I’ve found so much of myself in Ish and that has kept of glued to each chapter. Thanks Nate, I’ll be looking for Ish and the gang in the future. I’ve been wondering if he’ll meet up again with Captain Giggone again. Better yet, how about another enounter with Alverez. There are so many stories that are yet to be written and I can’t wait to hear each and every one. Thanks again Nate. Exceptional work.

I really did Just listen to all four books in a week (GOTTA LOVE MY ZUNE!) Looking foward to see Captain Ish or at least First Mate Ish in action. It would be interesting to see how The Everyman Ish handles being a true leader.

Just finished Double Share. Wonderful book great series and fantastic reading of the books. Great twist starting on a sick ship and making it better as his first ship made him better.
But with the name salvage in the company name I thought you may get them involved in that. But with Ish’s lack of skills for that type of work it may be better to leave him in the relative safety of not working in a space suit. :-)

Tremendous! Have been following from day one and really enjoy each episode. Little hard to keep track of the characters with the firstname/lastname/nickname multiple references but heck, that’s what rewind is for! Kind of a Chalker-esque pre-occupation with the “deed” but maybe I’m too old. Finally, What happened to Ish’s portable? Perhaps even in that century, 5-year old tech is useless. Great Job! Looking forward to the rest.
