Before I go any further, it must be said/written. I’m not happy with this episode. The story is top notch; the reading is solid; good use of music and effects. The issue is with the audio quality of the reading. I made a rookie mistake (which I won’t detail here) that affected the final output file. Whew… I feel better. Let’s get back to the show.

Thank you to J.C., and to Philippa Ballantine for spearheading the effort around this.

Tee, thoughts and prayers go out on your behalf in this time of need. You are loved.

Tomorrow I’ll be doing the 7th Live Show on Stickam.

Thanks to everyone that has attended shows so far. The live show has been such a pleasant surprise! We’ll have another wonderful story from a Podiobooks author, “Feverfew” by H.E. Roulo. Heather is the author of Fractured Horizons, and she is also one of the driving forces behind Podioracket.com. Heather has written a dark, gritty story that I think everyone will love. If you would like a short preview, check out the excerpt on her site.

Come join the fun. We’ll be doing Round 3 of the Damn You Holyfield Drinking Game, so we’ve got that going for us…

Work on the website has gone well so far (slow, but well), and I hope to have new feeds soon.

Last but not least, I have a seekrit project for 2010. Stay tuned…

Tomorrow I’ll be doing the 7th Live Show on Stickam.

The crowd has grown for every show, so I hope to continue that tomorrow with a story by… me!

Come join the fun. We’ll be doing Round 2 of the Damn You Holyfield Drinking Game, so if nothing else, get drunk with me!

Work on the website has gone well so far (slow, but well), and I hope to have new feeds soon.

Last but not least, I have a seekrit project for 2010. Stay tuned…

NOTE: Postponing show to 12/23, due to family sickness… see you next week.

Before we go any further, what can you find here?

• The Murder at Avedon Hill Podcast Novel
• The Tales of the Children Short Story Anthology Podcast
• Information about the upcoming print release of Murder at Avedon Hill
• Information on my fantasy setting, The Land of Caern.

The Land of Caern is the fantasy setting I’ve been writing and playing RPGs in since 1988.

Back in 2005 I started writing a novel set in The Land of Caern. It began its life as a proposed module for the computer game Neverwinter Nights. I then took the plot from that module and began serializing the story as a text release on the Neverwinter Vault website. After releasing the the first draft of the first half of the novel online, I decided to finish the novel “offline” and try to get it published. I finished the first draft of the novel near the end of 2006.

Early 2006 I discovered podcasting. I began contributing to podcasts in the summer of 2006, and began my own podcast in early 2007. I briefly released Murder at Avedon Hill as a self-published novel through Lulu.com

To learn more about the journey to get Murder at Avedon Hill written in novel form, please visit the page on this site called “The Story Behind the Story.”

I began the podcast version of Murder at Avedon Hill in June of 2007. It is still available on this website, on iTunes, and through Podiobooks.com.

The production ended after 42 episodes on May 21, 2009. Due to the generous help of family, friends, and members of the tribe, MaAH morphed, skirting the line between straight read and audio drama, with over 45 guests adding their voices to the podcast.

You can download episodes directly or subscribe through your aggregator of choice.

Murder at Avedon Hill was picked up by Dragon Moon Press and is due to be published in 2010.

In September of 2009 I began producing a second podcast set in The Land of Caern: Tales of The Children. Tales of the Children is a short story anthology podcast, with stories by me and by some of the best authors in podcast fiction.

This podcast also features live readings of stories every other Wednesday night on stickam.com!

• On Wednesday evening I did a live reading of Tabitha Grace Smith’s Tales of the Children story, Love’s Sacrificial Song, on Stickam.com
  • It was my most popular live show so far, with over 200 people attending at least some part of the two hour show.
  • We had a live interview with Tabz after the reading.
  • We rolled out a brand new element to the Stickam Live Show… the DYH Drinking Game!

• Later that night, Angel Between the Lines released my story, Exit Strategy, as a nearly hour-long full-cast audio drama.
  • From the description on the ABTL website: From Ocean’s 11 to the Italian Job there’s no lack of criminals in fiction, but Johannes Cordner needs the best. The puzzling twists and turns aren’t just keeping the audience confused. Can the criminals break into Wolfram & Hart’s law offices without getting caught? And what exactly are they stealing?
  • As always, Tabz has delivered a great production. And since this is my first fiction to hit the podosphere since May, I hope you’ll give it a listen.
• On Thursday, ABTL and Murder at Avedon Hill fan Dan Shaurette wrote a great feature story on me and Murder at Avedon Hill. It must have taken Dan HOURS to write that up, and I’m honored.
• On Friday, ABTL released the .pdf of Exit Strategy.

What a great week (other than my laptop dying, which is another story altogether)!

Thanks again to Tabz and ABtL for such a great time. And for those that missed the live show, the audio version of Love’s Sacrificial Song will be released before the end of the year.

I wrote a long short story called “Exit Strategy,” which will be released in audio format over at http://angelbetweenthelines.com – possibly today!

Exit Strategy is a heist story set in the Angel Between the Lines television show universe. While it is fan fiction to a certain extent (one minor character appears from the Angel universe), it is a story that requires no knowledge of the Buffy or Angel television shows. I really enjoyed writing the story, and as soon as the podcast episode is released I’ll post here to let you know.

Stickam Live Show: Tonight, 9:30 pm Eastern

The live shows just keep getting better and better! Last week we had Philippa Ballantine’s wonderful story, “Love and Fire.” The turnout wasn’t as high as previous shows (post-Halloween blues, maybe?), but we had a great guest appearance at the end of the show: Pip called down from her castle (a library) in New Zealand, waving and yelling “Hullo over there!”

This week I expect a larger audience, as we have a story from Tabitha Grace Smith, one of the forces of nature behind Buffy Between the Lines, Angel Between the Lines, Gilligan’s Island Between the Lines… okay, maybe not that last one. But with fans like hers, I expect Stickam to ROCK tonight! Tabz wrote a long story as well, called Love’s Sacrificial Song.

If there are any questions from the chat I’ll be taking them once again, so come on out and join in the fun.

Yes, I was finally able to finish the audio version of “The Old God and The Sea,” by Patrick E. McLean. Contrary to initial plans for this podcast, I’m giving each episode the star treatment it deserves. Which of course means the episodes will be released when they get released.

0:00 – Intro Chatter

• We are still having a lot of fun doing Live Video Readings of new TotC stories over at Stickam.com – Tonight we have a story by Philippa Ballantine.
• The audio versions of the episodes will be released after the video episodes, so if you want to get them first, come on over to the live show (every other Wednesday evening at 9:30 pm Eastern).

4:40 – The Old God and the Sea – Patrick E. McLean

Rygar is the hedge knight everyone fears. Jarl is the fisherman no one could ever fear. What happens when these two men finally meet? It’s all in a day’s work (or a lifetime in this case) for a Child of Az.

23:00 – Outro Chatter

Check out the cross promotion I’m doing with Tabitha Grace Smith. A story I’ve written, “Exit Strategy,” will be released Monday, November 16th on the Angel Between the Lines podcast. Next Wednesday evening at 9:30 pm Eastern I will be reading Tabitha’s Tales of the Children short story, “Love’s Sacrificial Song” on my next Stickam.com live show.

Excuse the low sound quality of this episode. We recorded in a room at the Atlanta Hilton during Dragon*Con and there was a lot of noise that didn’t clean up very well. But it is listenable, and the interview itself turned out great.

Promo – This new podcast called 7th Son: Descent. I hear it’s okay.

Music: Grande Rue De Pera – Ruben van Rompaey, courtesy of Magnatune.com

The President of the United States is dead. He was murdered in the morning sunlight by a four year-old boy.

With those first two sentences, J.C. Hutchins announced his arrival to the world of podcast fiction. And on October 27, 2009, 7th Son: Descent hits bookstore shelves and on Amazon.com.

Go here to read more about 7th Son: Descent.

This is the one I’ve been waiting for… I love Scott Sigler’s books, and J.C.’s first book with Jordan Weisman, Personal Effects: Dark Art was a lot of fun, but 7th Son redefined storytelling for me, and on a weekly basis it made me want to be a better writer.

And finally, if it wasn’t for J.C. I don’t think I would have podcast Murder at Avedon Hill. So learn about 7th Son if you haven’t given it a try. And if you enjoyed his podcast and want something to read while I’m editing Murder at Avedon Hill, BUY THIS BOOK.

And actually, if you haven’t listened to 7th Son: Descent, J.C. has started releasing the new version of the 7th Son: Descent podcast (based on the print version of the novel).

To make the video a little more fun, especially since Patrick’s story was a bit of a comedy, I’ve added some pop-up elements that hopefully add some humor to the video, and it also helps those watching the video understand what was going on in the Stickam chat room before the reading and during the Q&A.

This video is Pt. 2 (the Q&A). I tried to include something for everyone in this video. Give it a watch and see what I mean.

For those that want separate feeds for audio and video, that is coming soon, along with a site redesign.

On October 7th Patrick McLean and I did a live reading of his Tales of the Children short story, “The Old God and the Sea.” After the reading we did a Q&A with Chooch (Chooch was on skype).

To make the video a little more fun, especially since Patrick’s story was a bit of a comedy, I’ve added some pop-up elements that hopefully add some humor to the video, and it also helps those watching the video understand what was going on in the Stickam chat room before the reading and during the Q&A.

This video is Pt. 1 (the intro and the reading). Pt. 2 will be released in the feed tomorrow.

For those that want separate feeds for audio and video, that is coming soon, along with a site redesign.

Here we are once again. While I did meet my 9/09/09 start date for Tales of the Children (a live reading of this same story on Stickam), it did take me until now to finish the audio production of that same episode. At least you know what you get with me. Late, but hopefully worth it.

I love it, and look forward to capturing more of Dragon*Con this year.

Here’s my first attempt at recording video. Don’t worry, I’ll be sure to look at the camera more next time.

What I say is important, though I need your help. Any suggestions around what video content I should create in preparation for Murder at Avedon Hill’s print release would be awesome!

Here is the third of my four interviews, this one with Podcasting’s Rich Sigfrit, master of voices, producer of the Parsec Finalist Podcast Pulp Adventures Starring Mr. Adventure.

Rich Sigfrit and I chat about Mister Adventure, his wonderful voice acting on Murder at Avedon Hill, the Parsecs, his pre- and post-Parsec interviews, etc.

Here is the second of my four interviews, this one with Mur Lafferty creator and writer of The Takeover. (Yes, I kn0w at the beginning of the interview I say this is the LAST interview. I’ll be releasing more interviews between now and Dragon*Con).

Mur Lafferty is one of my heroes, as you know, and we talk about The Takeover, about Her Side (the fiction/photography collaboration with the incomparable J.R. Blackwell), the Heaven Series, World Con, and The Parsec Awards.

Christof is a world traveler, a former finance expert, a Highlander fan, a production whore… and his commitment to his audio drama, in terms of both time and money, is awe-inspiring.

One of the many things I’m looking foward to at Dragon*Con this year is meeting Christof and drinking a beer (or three).

Jack Wakes Up Cover

“Jack Wakes Up rocks! It’s a fast, smooth ride on a highway not found on any map.” — Michael Connelly, #1 New York Times bestselling author

“Readers who like their hard-boiled crime fiction violent and gritty will cheer Harwood’s debut — taut prose and fast pacing bode well for future entries in the series.” — Publisher’s Weekly

Seth and I talk about his podcast novels, his journey to having Jack Wakes Up published (twice), his former job on the floor of the stock market in NYC, his teaching career, Author Bootcamp, HotTub Cast… and much much more!

Enjoy, and look for my first of four interviews with the other Parsec finalists in the category of Best Audio Drama Long Form, posting tomorrow.

Music in this podcast episode: Celtic Impulse, Kevin McLeod, Incompetech.com

It’s a live interview, with a chat area for people to ask questions, and a call in number if you want to be on the show.

Come on out and hear me chat about Tales of the Children, about the Parsec Award nomination, about the upcoming book release, etc.

Rhonda Carpenter does a great job interviewing her guests. It should be a lot of fun!

From the Parsec Awards website:

The Parsec Awards are dedicated to rewarding excellence in various aspects of Speculative Fiction Podcasting. The Parsec Award is available for Sci-fi & Fantasy Original Content, podiobooks and a variety of other categories dealing with the new frontiers of Portable Media. The 4th annual Parsec Awards will be held at the Dragon*con convention held September 4 through September 7, 2009.

Before I started this project I attended the first Parsec Awards at D*C in 2006. From that moment it became one of my goals… to one day be a Parsec Awards finalist.  To have MaAH as a finalist in the Audio Drama category is a great validation of the hard work that I and so many other people put into this podcast.

Thanks to the fans that nominated Murder at Avedon Hill in the first place, and thanks to the awards committee and others that felt MaAH belonged on the short list of podcasts in this category. The other nominees:

• Amazing Pulp Adventures Starring Mr. Adventure
• The Metamor City Podcast – Making the Cut
• The Leviathan Chronicles
• Mur Lafferty’s The Takeover

As you know I love Chris Lester’s work on the MCP podcast (damn him), and Rich Sigfrit, the driving force behind Mr. Adventure, played two roles in MaAH (Herrjarr and Kell). Mr. Adventure is a lot of fun and you should check it out.

And Mur… she is simply the best.

The only nominee I am not familiar with is The Leviathan Chronicles (other than their great promo I believe I played on my podcast). But if nothing else, check out their website. It’s frakkin’ awesome! I’ll be listening to it before D*C, to be sure.

A lot of my friends in the podcasting world are Parsec finalists this year as well. Too many to list here, but I’m really looking forward to the ceremony to see who wins!

In the next few weeks I’ll be adding audio content in the feed. Interviews mostly, with Patrick McLean, Seth Harwood, and my editor, Gabrielle Harbowy. I also plan on contacting all of my fellow nominees for something prior to September.

Thanks again, people!!

But more importantly, we talk about the next fiction podcast project I’ll be working on, called Tales of the Children.

It’s going to be a lot of fun… with a lot of great friends coming along for the ride!

Personal Effects: Dark Art is coming out on June 9th. You can pre-order here. Watch the video below to see why.

I’m in awe. And I get to see J.C. in a week. Huzzah!

Nina Kimberly is being published by Dragon Moon Press, so I’m even more invested in this novel’s success! If you follow me on Twitter, follow along on Friday for an opportunity to have one of the last remaining copies of MaAH (the self-pub version) signed and mailed out to you that same day! (oh, and did I say it would be free?)

Get on board, and defeat those sparkly vampires!!

MaAH has been sitting on Page 2 of the iTunes Literature Featured Chart for around a year now. Today I open up iTunes and I see this:

iTunes Lit. Featured Chart, Page 1

Yeah, that’s page one, my bitches (as Seth Harwood would say). Seems MaAH has moved up to #13 on the Featured List (and up to page 2 of the “Arts” Featured Chart (an even larger category that Literature is underneath)).

As for you Metamorphs… yes, I see my nemesis is above me at #7. grrrrrr.

Good days, though, people. Good days.

Episode 42, the last episode of MaAH, will be released next week at some point. I’m looking forward to putting this baby to bed.

This is the second and last episode I’ll be posting in my feed. Ep. 78 is a discussion of point of view in fiction. Please visit the The Dead Robots’ Society website for more info (and to get the .pdf I created for the discussion) on this episode and to subscribe!

This is the first episode where I appear as a regular host. Ep. 77 is an interview with Nathan Nowell, author of the Share Series. We focus on podcasting your fiction, contrasting our styles and explaining the decision process one should take before podcasting their novel.

Later this week I’ll drop ep. 78 of the DRS podcast in this feed. If you want to listen to more of the DRS podcast and/or subscribe (to get future episodes), please visit The Dead Robots’ Society website!

Last week I co-hosted/was a guest on DRS and we chatted about something I know a little about… self-publishing. I also talked a little about signing with Dragon Moon Press, so if you are interested, the episode can be found here.

00:00 – Announcement

Dragon Moon Press will be publishing Murder at Avedon Hill. No set date at this time, but we’re looking at late ‘09.

03:30 – Spread the Word!

Press Releases can be found on the Media Kit Page.  Please send to your local paper or media outlet… any entity that might be interested in the story of an unpublished author using ‘new media’ to land a publishing deal. Send me an email and let me know what you’ve done… we’re going to take this to the next level. Thanks, people!!

Last thing (not mentioned in the audio announcement). If you have a website or blog, please add a quick post about the publishing deal and link to the Press Page at http://pgholyfield.com/the-book/press – It will definitely help!

Three more to go! Thanks for everything!

UPDATE: People are receiving multiple copies of this episode. We have identified the issue and are taking steps to fix it. Thanks for your patience!

One thing I finished recently that I’ve been working on here and there for over a year is a video promo. I can do a few things in Flash but nothing I was putting together for MaAH was appealing to me. Enter the website Animoto.com. With animoto you upload your photos, drawings, etc., add text, add music, and then it spits out a video for you. The only drawback is you have no real control over the transitions used, so your only recourse if you don’t like how something looks is to re-render the whole thing and see if it turns out the way you want it.

After a lot of tries I came up with the video you see here.  If you like it, please embed it, promote it, put the file on your site or in your podcast feed, etc. I’d be honored.

If you want to embed it, please let me know and I’ll send you the code. If you don’t want to email me, I have a version of the video on youtube that you can grab, but the video doesn’t look as good on youtube (you can make the video look better when embedding though by changing the resolution of the video).

This is the first time I’m placing a video in my feed. Hopefully no one will have issues.

Patrick McLean released Pt. 4 of “Flinchy and the Mexican Show Truck” over on The Seanachai. This is the last episode of ’season’ 1. Season 2 is already in the works (probably out no earlier than the end of February).

I don’t want to clutter this feed with more non-MaAH episodes right now, so please head on over and give all four episodes a listen on Patrick’s site, or subscribe to The Seanachai. It is one of the best podcasts in production today, so you might as well give it a try!

Patrick McLean released Pt. 3 of “Flinchy and the Mexican Show Truck” over on The Seanachai. In all honesty, this is the best of the three episodes so far… in the zone

Long story short: Caroline (the voice of Lane Niccols) is married to a wonderful artist, Jeff Himmelman. Jeff is the same artist that produced the awesome art used by Chris Lester over at the Metamor City podcast. I went to look at Jeff’s art site and came upon the image seen above… and about hurt myself trying to get Outlook open so I could email Caroline and Jeff to see if I could post the image on this site.

So here is Lane Niccols, recently revealed as– wait, I can’t spoil that for new listeners. I’ll shut up now.

Holyfield http://www.pgholyfield.com/maah/?p=240 I am one of those guys that always says “Support your local independent bookstore.” Now I have even more of a reason to say it!

Constellation Books, near Baltimore, MD, is an awesome bookstore. How do I know this? Because at the recommendation of scifilaura, the wonderful voice of Julienne Avedon, Constellation Books purchased two copies of the novel from Lulu.com. Right now they are sitting on the shelf in the Mystery section of the bookstore, just waiting to be picked up by unsuspecting customers… muwahahaha!!!

Thanks to Laura for the photo, and if you are in the area, why don’t you go in and buy the book! Hell, I’ve got to get my rep started as an author that can move books through a brick and mortar store, right?
