Promo

I'll try recording a new episode tonight, and have it up by Wednesday morning. In the meantime, enjoy some promos for the first podiobook I ever heard. This is what got me thinking about starting this blog, the podcast, and writing fiction again. Included are the promos for all three books in the series.

Update on Blog Status

Well, this blog was originally started as a random rant blog, about everything going on in my life. But since then, I've started moving towards more podcast reviews, starting with J.C. Hutchins 7th Son Trilogy and Scott Sigler's Infected. I'm going to turn this into a podcast review blog, and perhaps make my own podcast form it in the future. I've got plenty of podcasts to listen to, and provide opinions on in the upcoming weeks, and I'll try to keep updates to Friday or Saturday nights.

That said, let's move on to the good stuff. I just finished the 7th Son Trilogy, and must say it was quite a ride. After the trilogy concluded, Hutchins gave the green light to other authors, both print and podiobooks, as well as listeners to participate in Obsidian, an anthology of shorts, as well as voice mails and videos sent in by listeners about their "experience" in the 7th Son fictional universe, shortly after the attack on America's power grid.




Still in progress is Scott Sigler's Infected, which has slowed down a bit due to Sigler's Super-Secret Mission of Death, a writing project he is trying to finish before the deadline. Infected is already out in print, if you don't want to wait.

On the table right now, I'm trying to find time to listen to Infected, Obsidian, Ancestor, A Different Point of View, Stranger Things, Prophecy of Swords, The Rookie, Singularity, and Wormwood. So lots of updates in the coming weeks, and if everything works out, perhaps a few surprises.

JC Hutchins kicks puppies

As promised, although late, here are the conversations I've had with 7th Son author JC Hutchins, and Infected author Scott Sigler. The last one really made it all worth it. On a side note, this blog seems to be turning away from the original programming and project blog I had originally thought it would be. I think I'll have to rethink what I'm posting about, whether to go back to the original idea, or move towards a podcast review blog. If there are any opinions, podcast suggestions, or rants about this, feel free to let me know.

Me to JC:

I just put up a post about 7th Son, along with a banner and link on my blog. The address is http://thecdspace.blogspot.com. Great work JC, I'm looking forward to what else you have in store.

JC to Me:

Hey Jason!

Wow, man -- thanks so much for the kind comments about 7th Son ... and for posting that excellent banner on your site! I'm touched by your generosity. Please let me know how I can return the favor!

Best wishes,

--J.C. Hutchins

Me:

Just getting to hear from you is return enough! 7th Son is a great series, I've started book 3, and the intrigue and excitement keep on rolling. And then getting to hear from you, personally, not just some agent or staff person, is incredible. That is probably what makes 7th Son, and you, a great author, It's not just the writing that you enjoy, but also the fans, and you take the time to let us know that.

If you really feel you want to do something for the free advertising on my blog, I could only ask for two things. 1) Keep writing! 2) A link to my blog on that list of banner links.

On a side note, my girlfriend is saying I've developed the Kilroy 2.0 laugh. She hasn't listened to the books, except what I've made her listen to, like the 12 days of clonemas (hilarious!). She'll be waiting for the print versions to come out next year. I've been listening to both 7th Son and Infected, and have given her synopses of both books. She's in favor of Sigler's book. Hopefully when she reads 7th Son, she'll shift her opinions, but for now, the Hutchins-Sigler feud continues.

Anyway, I don't want to take up too much of your time. My only request, keep writing, turn out more quality like 7th Son, and you've already got a faithful listener/reader. Keep up the great work JC!

JC to Me:

Supercool, Jason! I've added your blog to the list at the "More Evangelism" page:

Thanks again for the kindness, and for spreading the word! Take it easy, and keep in touch!

--J.C. Hutchins

Me to Sigler:

I just thought I'd let you know about a post I recently put up on my blog. I sing the praises of Hutchins and 7th Son, and give you a PS. I know, not very nice, so I put up a post about you and Infected. I hope the new post can make up for it, and ask the General's mercy.

Anyway, great work on Infected. Keep us updated on the movie process. Infected would make a great flick, if directed well. I'm starting to listen to The Rookie, and am eagerly awaiting the next two books in the Infected series.

Scott Sigler to Me:

JC Hutchins kicks puppies. Nice job promoting him, are you happy with yourself?

Diversions

I just wanted to make a quick post about an audiobook I've been listening to. It's called 7th Son, by J. C. Hutchins, and is actually a trilogy. So far, I'm halfway through the second book, and it's been amazing so far. It can be found on podiobooks.com, and jchutchins.net. It's sci-fi, and full of action, plot twists, ethics, philosophy. 7th Son has gained a large, almost cult-like following. My advice, check out this book, now. Click below to go to the 7th Son homepage



I'll have what is turning out to be the regular Friday post later today. Find 7th Son before then, or else!

PS Also check out another great author, Scott Sigler. Search for him at podiobooks.com, or go to scottsigler.com.
