Overnight chapters 39 and 40 of JC Hutchins 7th Son dropped and I caught them on the way to work this morning.
After saying last week I thought the story had reached an end, I forgot about the loose ends, which where dealt with nicely, plus a nice dig at the 2000 Florida elections…
Well we are certainly coming to an end now, just one left to go (I guess) and I have my suspicions that we might be hearing about a couple of aircraft crashes, but we will see.
Also over the weekend the first episode of Steve Saylor’s Black Shadow dropped. I had already listened to the prologue on Seth Harwood’s feed over the weekend, but I caught the first episode over lunch today.
In this first episode we are introduced to Black Shadow, the stories hero and go back in time to when he was 5…
The story starts of well, and I am looking forward to future episodes – the novel is ‘only’ 50,000 words I am not sure how that translates into episodes, I would guess at around 12-15 but I could be way off base with that. Make sure you stick around to listen to Steve’s closing remarks, as he gives some insight into how the book came into being and nods to various podcasts that inspired him.
As mentioned in my crazy week post, Tee Morris’s MOREVI remastered has started. I listened to the preview on JC Hutchins 7th Son feed, and but on Friday I saw that the prologue had dropped in the MOREVI feed and with a slightly different intro in Tee Morris’s Billi feed. Well I finally got around to listening to the entire prologue on the way to work this morning.
The story starts with Tudor pirates in the realm of Henry VIII escaping the Spanish fleet. They travel through a portal into a new world…
As I have mentioned elsewhere I was not on board with podcasts back in 2005 – I didn’t even own an iPod until the mini’s came onto the market – and I first heard of Tee Morris on Valentines Day this year with the launch of Billibub Baddings and the Case of the Singing Sword. I the past when I have found ‘new’ authors I have gone back and listened to their previous work (usually through podiobooks), however in Tee’s case he was talking about what he has learnt while producing Billi he was going to do MOREVI remastered, so I resisted and today my wait paid of as I caught this fantastic production. The story sounds great, I will be buying it once the podcast is over, but the effects in the podcast had me ducking the cannon fire on the way to work!
This should be in your podcatcher, I see it is top on Podiobooks and number 14 on iTunes – great stuff. Thanks Tee
Over the weekend the sixth episode of Scott Sigler’s fantastic novel Nocturnal dropped and I caught it on the way to work yesterday – I know I am still way behind on my blogging hopefully life will be getting back to normal this week.
Anyway, in this episode we find out a lot more about the symbols (although I am at a loss as to who is removing them from the database) and find an eye witness to the latest attack.
This story just has me gripped, I can not wait until next week and beyond it is great storytelling and the production of the cast is just second to none. Thanks Scott
I am still behind, work is now sorted but I was still working crap hours yesterday but got to listen to both Seth Harwood’s preview of Steve Saylor’s Black Shadow which sounds great, and last night I caught the new A Long Way From Disney story ‘The True Story’. I also see that I did not blog last week on Pamplona, I don’t know why, I really enjoyed that story, not the story I expected from my comments a fortnight ago.
Anyway this weeks tale, The True Story again harks back to one of my favourite story from the first season when Adam stands upto Vaughan. It is a great look back at that story
Nothing really to add, but next week I should be back to normal, and Seth would like iTunes reviews, I have added mine, have you added yours?
So on Wednesday I caught chapters 36, 37 and 38 of the awesome JC Hutchins, 7th Son. Man what a great story, I feel that the story is over but there is still more.
It seems that I was way of the mark with my guesses last week (which I am relieved about) and it was honourable reasons that took me by surprise, maybe it was the mood I was in but i didn’t see the twist coming.
As I said this trilogy is approaching the end, and JC should be applauded for this and the book deal he has gained, I look forward to owning Book.
What a manic week, we had a software release at work on Tuesday and it didn’t go well to say the least. Where it affects this blog is that I haven’t had a lunch break for three days, and as I have been getting into work early and leaving late my commute is down to 30 minutes each way (as opposed to an hour each way at rush hour).
It is really disappointing as there is some great stuff sitting on my iPod, Tee Morris MOREVI remastered has cropped up in JC Hutchins feed (a 20 minutes preview) but it has also arrived in the Billi feed and of course the MOREVI feed, I am hoping that I can catch it tomorrow.
Also sitting in Seth Harwood’s feed is a 10 minute Black Shadow pre release prologue (Steve Saylor’s debut podcast novel which launches on the 1st). I will hopefully be able to catch that tomorrow as well.
Anyway onto what I have caught this week…
Last night the 5th episode of Scott Sigler’s novel Nocturnal dropped and I listened to it on the way in this morning.
Another great episode that leaves you wanting more, although there was over 40 minutes of story in this one. The story moves back to Rex and then covers all the main characters so far.
Scott has updated his Google map with the Nocturnal locations, and I do encourage you to have a look, it is a fantastic idea and allows you to see the key locations mentioned on the story.
In the closing notes Scott clears up some listeners Infection/Infested/Infected queries and promises us 50 pages of new material and 50 pages rewritten so come 1st April 2008 older Junkies will have around a third of a book of new material. I know I would have bought it anyway (assuming Amazon don’t screw with us again) but this does give an extra reason for anyone wavering.
Over the weekend the final part of Mike Bennett’s Hair and Skin, from his Hall of Mirrors short story collection dropped, and I caught it on the way to work yesterday morning (I know I am late but there we go).
This long episode (around 40 minutes) finished of the beard transplant story excellently and I think it comes a strong second to “The Grave”.
I am not too sure what is next, my memory is letting me down, I think Mike said that there are some more short stories coming, I sure hope so
