Cowry Catchers Book 2 has launched over at cowrycatchers.com. Also, I’ll be a Dragon Con! Finally, I give you the first 10 minutes of Night in the Crystal City. Prophet is on on Audible.com! Also, I have a short story for sale. It’s $2 in text and audio – 30 minutes/ 4300 words. Click the donate button on the right if you’re interested. Yes, I know it’s the 10th, not the 11th. I’m launching this a day early. I’m podcasting a new Panamindorah story! It’s a dark, nautical fantasy in full cast audio. Illustrations accompany each episode. Go to www.cowrycatchers.com to start listening. I’m back from Tampa! And apparently it’s Ory Con. Chris Lester of Metamor City is here for the convention and did the third drawing with me. Tamara is the winner, and I’ll be contacting her. Sorry for the short notice, but if any listeners are in Portland for Ory Con, I’d love to meet you. I’ll be at Chris’s panels on Friday. Sarah won the quotes contest with 8 correct answers. Congrats! She asked for a drawing of a shelt skeleton, specifically lower body, so here’s my sketch. In addition, a sample of the Cowry Catchers illustrations for Part I are here. Also, although I didn’t mention it in the podcast, Rah Cloutier did some sketches of the main characters for Cowry Catchers when she was trying to get a feel for anatomy. They’re not wearing clothes, but they’re also not very detailed. Here’s my sketch of a pegasus skeleton, and here’s my DA gallery. The Bunjee Venture by Stan McMurty is indeed available on Amazon for pennies. “The Old Gumbie Cat” is by T.S. Eliot, from his book of cat poems, Old Possum’s Book of Practical Cats. It later became the raw material for Andrew Lloyd Webber’s musical, Cats. Hughes and I list 21 random book quotes (mostly fiction, certainly fictitious). Whoever gets the most correct gets to pick a character to be drawn by yours truly. Email hilton (at) fauness (dot) com. Stuff we mention: Hello, readers! Well, I didn’t win a Parsec this year, but I lost to Scott Sigler, so no shame in that. I’ll post a link to all the winners as soon as I can find one. I’m proud that I was a finalist, and I get to keep that stamp on my website. I’m planning to be at Dragoncon next year, so perhaps I’ll get to compete with Cowry Catchers. In other news, this website is about to get an overhaul, so it will be changing over the next few days. To all of you who are participating in my forums: thank you! If you haven’t dropped by to say hello, please do. People are actually talking over there. Makes me happy. Edit: Wander Radio has compiled a list of the 2009 Parsec winners. Thanks, Jack! Just a note to say that I have not died, and I know what I want to write for the short story prize, and I will write it sometime this week. Really. In this unscripted and largely unedited installment, I tell you: –I’m a Parsec finalist, and Norm Sherman and company will be standing in for me at Dragon Con. –My short story “Miranda and the Butterfly” is up at the Dunesteef. –I have a poem “Coral Reef” on Wander Radio. –I read “Toast” for the The Drabblecast. I also answer some listener questions about feline society, my writing habits, and full cast audio vs. solo reads. In one place, I said “Canisaria,” when I meant “Filinia.” I also sometimes say “read,” when I mean “listen.” Wow, guys. The third Prophet book, Fire and Flood, is a finalist for the Parsec awards in Novella catagory! This means significant exposure, even if I don’t win. Check out the other finalists and read more about the Parsecs on the website. |
