Blowing the cobwebs away – The last Year

Wow, a long long time has passed since I sat at my keyboard and talked about podcasting. Let us just recap.

• Palms Sunday – Seth Harwood had great success and Jack Wakes Up is to be re-released by Crown next Palm Sunday
• April 1st – Scott Sigler’s Infected was released leading to Contagious coming out at the end of December.  Also (if memory serves me well) it almost cracked the New York Times best seller list
• Billi’s crazy Eights / Double Trouble – Pip Valentine Ballantine and Tee Morris both released their books on the same day 08/08/08 and both books broke into the top 20 on Amazon
• Playing For Keeps – at the end of August Mur Lafferty’s Playing for Keeps was released on Amazon which cracked the top 10 on Amazon
• Phil Rossi has had his Crescent novel in the throws of publication and a film deal as well

Congratulations to all those authors, all their books have pride of place on my book shelf.

I am going to be changing things up on here, I am still listening to PodioBooks and short story anthologies and really do admire the time and effort the various authors spend on their podcasts.  So rather than commenting on every episode I will over the coming months mention the podcasts that I am listening to and I feel warrant a mention.

Also, the “All Podcast” feed has been running without fail, Google Reader churns that out for me.  The “Featured Podcast” feed used to reflect the blog – I will start updating that again however I will not necessarily be posting about every entry in that feed.
