Remember when I said May was going to be insane? I didn’t think it would be this insane. Between the classes I’m teaching and Balticon 42 closing in fast, I’m finding it hard to sit down and produce. Chapter Twelve is underway, but far from done.

That doesn’t mean the Captain is neglecting his faithful crew! I’ll have a few more avatars coming out to people, and I’m nearing the end of edits for The Pitcher’s Pendant: A Billibub Baddings Mystery. With all this happening, I put together a little something to let you all know I’m thinking of you.

Enjoy this peek behind the scenes…

Chapter Ten: Tudor by Torchlight (Part Four of Four)

Posted by admin on Apr 27 2008 | Comment now »

Yes, this episode is running late. It’s a bit my fault, and a lot of Soundtrack Pro that decided it would throw a “new quirk” my way. Makes sense, seeing as this is the conclusion to one epic-sized chapter. It’s okay, crew — your captain is managing.

And now, the fashionable conclusion to Chapter Ten…

As you have heard in the sponsorship and the Morevi Matters segments, I’m all about supporting podcast fiction authors out there.

I Remember Joe: A 2008 Tribute

Posted by admin on Apr 01 2008 | Comment now »

I Remember Joe

Joe Murphy started off as a fan with the most prolific and honest opinions of MOREVI. All other book reviews that came after his were put up for comparison, and only Joe’s made me think about this story and in turn made Legacy of MOREVI a better book because of it. That was Joe’s first influence on my life.

Then we became friends.

On April 1, 2007, book reviewer, fellow Sci-Fi fan, and podcaster Joe Murphy lost a battle with Leiomyosarcoma, a very aggressive form of cancer. He was 34. Today marks the one year anniversary of his death, and on this date I wanted to take a moment to remember my friend, Joe.

I still miss you. And I remember…

Tempting as it is to stretch this out to a three part episode, I don’t think so. Oye ve, have you all been patient, not to mention praiseworthy! Emails are welcome, and you all have been too kind to me…but some of you have been sending me the “Okay, I’m caught up. GET TO WORK!” missives…

And you know what? In the Golden Age of Piracy, the crew had a say in how the captain was doing. So yeah, I’m on it!

Here you go — new guest voices, new characters stepping into the mix, and new twists here and there are underway in Rafe’s return to London…

Posted by admin on Mar 28 2008 | 2 Comments »

On April 1, a podcaster takes one small step for writers, one giant leap for the publishing industry…

Infected, the new horror novel by Scott Sigler!

Now, if you’re not familiar with Scott’s work, be warned — Scott’s work is not for the faint at heart. He is about to grab the attention of booksellers and publishers, and we can hope that doors previously closed to podcasting authors like myself, Philippa Ballantine, P.G. Holyfield and Mur Lafferty to name a few (and there are so many talented podcasting authors out there…) will open.

Until that opportunity comes by, buy his novel, and stay subscribed. Chapter Eight is on the way.

Chapter Eight is still in production…

Posted by admin on Mar 26 2008 | 1 Comment »

Sorry for the delay. I don’t want anyone to think the rug was pulled out from underneath me again. I’ve got quite a lot to do this week, but the good news is Chapter Eight is coming together very nicely.  New guest voices, some fantastic performances, and all around swashbuckling goodness. The episodes may be longer than usual, but as you all are patient (for the most part…I’m getting some funny e-mails…) I didn’t think you all would mind. It’ll be worth the wait.

You all will be happy to know that one of the things that I’m postponing MOREVI for this week is JC Hutchins’ 7th Son: Obsidian. I’m putting final touches on a short story appearing in that collection.  Don’t get me wrong — I love this podcast, but I’m a writer first and foremost and writers should be producing.

Wait a minute…I am producing. I’m producing this podcast. Darn it, I hate it when I trip over myself like that.

Also, I’m working on the edits for The Pitcher’s Pendant: A Billibub Baddings Mystery. Listen on Chapter Eight for an announcement concerning that new title from me. Coming very soon.

Until next week, stay the course….

Posted by admin on Feb 27 2008 | 2 Comments »

Hi, everyone!

I must say, this podcast never stops surprising me. I announce an unexpected and unscheduled halt in the production, and my Feedburner stats go UP. And then, from the voice of Askana Moldarin, Pip Ballantine sends me this little tidbit from the iTunes of New Zealand…

(click image for a larger view)

MOREVI is in the Top 15 Literature Podcasts! #13! That’s even better than its debut in the United States. So when you tell your friends and fellow fans of Fantasy about this podcast, tell them “It’s huge in New Zealand!”

So thank you, one and all, for your well wishes and concern. I’m also making a post to let you all know that I am beginning to see a break in the clouds. The fact I finished up several other paying projects on my desk and still had the drive and the time to put together a Survival Guide to Writing Fantasy means I’m almost out of the unexpected slump things here at Imagine That! Studios took. I asked for three weeks of your patience, I’m in the middle of Week Two, and I’m looking to start recording Chapter Seven either tomorrow or Friday. If I can get two chapters ready to go by the end of Week Three, I will be back with a vengeance on March 10.

Stay subscribed. Hold your course. Let people know…Rafe and Askana are almost clear of the storm…

Take a look at what I found on MySpace…

This is Askana Moldarin, as visualized by Douglas, a heavy-duty gamer who takes his online RPGs seriously. (Makes me wish I had time for this kind of stuff…) I remember swapping MySpace mail with him when I went to check his profile and I saw a different picture of this character. Douglas confirmed she was, in fact, Askana. I was flattered. How often do fans take your characters and play them online?

Then tonight, thanks to a Google Alert, I found this:

Douglas is also spreading the word on the re-mastered edition of the podcast. What else can I say but thank you! I am absolutely floored!

Keep that fan art, mash-up videos, and online support coming!
