In this update, I talk about: Podcast: Play in new window | Download Here’s the other half of that interview, wherein we talk more about Cowry Catchers. One correction: The Watership Down quote I referred to was from play Agamemnon, not The Antigone. Here’s the Print Fection store if you want to get anyone Cowry Catchers merch for Christmas. Podcast: Play in new window | Download Kwanzaa, in case you were wondering, is Dec 26 – Jan 1. Stuff we talked about: Norm’s Kickstarter Campaign (includes song – Pimp my Satellite) Jonathan Coulton’s zombie song – re: Your brains Norm’s zombie song – Juzt Mizundrstood Podcast: Play in new window | Download I talk about Hunters Unlucky and explain why you haven’t gotten another music episode (but will soon). Here’s the description of Hunters: Storm is born into a world of secrets – an island no one visits, names no one will say, and deaths that no one will talk about. The answers are locked in his species’ troubled past, guarded by the fierce creasia cats. But when Storm’s friends are threatened, he decides that he must act, pitting himself against the creasia to show that they can be resisted and outwitted. To prove his point, he must stay one step ahead of clever hunters, who have more to lose than Storm imagines. Hunters Unlucky is an animal story for people who loved Richard Adam’s Watership Down, Rudyard Kipling’s Jungle Book, and Jack London’s Call of the Wild. The animals in this story do not carry swords, walk on two legs, or drink tea. They fight. They starve. Sometimes, they eat each other. Read more starting here. Podcast: Play in new window | Download
Here you go, folks – the complete 5-book series, clocking in at something over 300,000 words. This version is *not* illustrated. This is just the text. If you wait for the illustrated versions or the audio, it will probably take about a year longer to get the story. I’m giving you choices. Here’s the playlist for the music: Podcast: Play in new window | Download This is the second interview I did with Renee Chambliss. It was recorded on Sept 1, 2011, more than 6 months after the first interview. At this point, Renee had listened to all of Book 3 and beta read for Book 4. Stuff we mentioned: J. A. Konrath’s blog post about sex in his stories If you want to comment on our discussion, I have created a thread on the forums. You can comment here, of course, but these posts get closed to comments after a few weeks to prevent spam. It’s easier to have threaded discussions on the forum. Podcast: Play in new window | Download Hi, folks. Sorry for the month of silence. This is the 1st of 2 interviews I did with Renee. This one was recorded on Feb 27, 2011 after she’d recorded all of Dakar’s lines, but had not seen/heard most of the rest of the book. Since she’s a fan of the podcast, I thought it would be fun to do an interview with her before she heard the rest of the story. We kind of went on and on. If we bore you, I’m sure you know how to find the fast forward button. Stuff we mentioned: Dreaming of Deliverance Podcast: Play in new window | Download
Eve is an inquisitive baby rat who regularly escapes from her cage. One night she meets a strange creature in a glass tank across the room—a boa constrictor named Malachi. The snake is amused by Eve’s questions, and he awes her with stories of the wilds where he was caught. What will happen to their fragile friendship when Eve discovers what Malachi eats? Can they devise a solution that will save both Malachi and Eve’s family of rats? Feeding Malachi is a 6,000-word story, divided into 10 short chapters. The story is illustrated with beautiful ink drawings by the Sarah Cloutier, who is also the cover artist. The story has a few scary moments, but also a happy ending. If you and your child enjoyed the whimsical dialogue of The Little Prince or the loveable characters in Janell Cannon’s Stellaluna and Verdi, you will enjoy the adventures of Eve and Malachi.
