Another great podcast from Mur, with a great if not a little bit egotistic intro from Scott Sigler.  This story is fantastic, and i haven’t mentioned it here but the pdf’s have a link to the Playing for Keeps website to get the book in print (via Print on Demand) in January

It is another great couple of chapters, where we get a glance into the history of the Playing for Keeps universe and learn more about the villains of the story.

This is a fantastic story, well told and I am really enjoying the experience, hopefully the pdf wil be available tonight so we can see the artwork and listen to the Easter egg.

Mur Lafferty: Stories of the Third Wave Episode 2

Tuesday, November 13 2007

Yesterday was a killer day, so this post is later – sorry. The second episode of Mur Lafferty’s Stories of the Third Wave dropped on Sunday and I caught it on the way to work yesterday.

These stories are not part of the Playing for Keeps story, but based in that universe. This weeks story was the first Easter Egg with JC Hutchins reading, which had me in stitches when I first heard it. It is brilliantly presented in the context of a news story and the WGA writers strike.

Mur Lafferty: Playing For Keeps Episode 2

Friday, November 9 2007

On Wednesday night the second episode of Mur Lafferty’s Playing For Keeps dropped and I caught it on the way to work yesterday morning (I know this is late but that was the only bright spot of yesterday…)

The story continues, we see Keepsie’s talent in action and meet a new villain

Episode Link

After the opening episode last week I was eagerly waiting for the second episode to drop.  I think the story is fantastic and the story telling is great.  My thanks go out to Mur and the Third Waver’s for the story and the experience.

If you are not signed up to the experience you are missing out on the pdf with some fantastic artwork on the opening page and this weeks Easter Egg, a villainous laugh

Mur Lafferty: Playing For Keeps Chapter 1

Thursday, November 1 2007

Mur Lafferty’s new novel Playing for Keeps also dropped last night and I caught it over lunch today.

This is a novel not a novella as in the Heaven series (I think there are two more books to go in that Wasteland and another but I digress), set in Seventh City in a time when people with superpowers rule. We follow the life of Keepsie, a bar owner who’s powers were not deemed powerful enough to enrol at the academy.

Episode Link

A great opening episode, we are introduced to Keepsie and into the world of Seventh City and the Third Wavers. I am really looking forward to finding out how this story develops and finding out who is actually good and who is bad.

Mur is creating a ‘Playing For Keeps Experience’ which includes a pdf of the chapter and will include stories of the Third Wave which I am looking forward to head over to PlayingForKeeps.com for more information.

Edit – Also check out the pdf for a great Easter Egg – Rockhoppers

Mur Lafferty: Heaven Season 3 Earth Vol6

Wednesday, August 8 2007

Again, caught Heaven season 3 Earth on the way to work – I notice my past posts have called it season 4, a small error on my part, If memory serves correctly there are to be 4 books in the Heaven series, but we are most definitely on Season 3 Earth.

Okay, onto today’s episode – vol6, I must have got a bit lost in volume 5, I think my last post proves that, but I am back on track today.

We meet up with Kate and Daniel and we enter the room where the Earth is growing, as Kate and Daniel argue the land masses split up. Kate tells Daniel to go. The armies from Hell start the invasion of Heaven. It is revealed that Daniel’s assistant Kevin is none other than a Demon Lord Metasophalies and has gained entry to Heaven through the use of Daniel’s travellers necklace.

Daniel receives a note from Kate to be read when he has escapes the fight. Daniel transforms into a golden eagle as suggested by Horace and flies off. Unfortunately the army fires arrows and is chased by seven flying Demons. Daniel dives aiming for the large weaponry and escapes to the roundabout of heaven, reads the note asking Daniel to return to Kate when the battle is over, it seems that Daniel is forgiven.

Episode Link

Again, I listened this morning at it has been a long day. I do enjoy these stories so go and give them a listen on Podiobooks
