A holiday music bonus from KnitWitch to say THANK YOU for listening this year.

This PDF will let you get non-techies hooked on the latest story from Scott Sigler. They can read it on their computer and use the big-honkin' play button to hear the wonderful voice of Scott Sigler, or you can print it and hand it to them. Either way, it gives me a chance to hook them with the beginning of the story.

Also, there is an AWESOME explanation of Podcasting on the last two pages. Hey, even the King of the TechTards™ (a.k.a. "Scott Sigler") could understand podcasting after reading this puppy.

[And here's the Adobe Reader link that I forgot to add yesterday]

I have a holiday gift for you from Parsec Award winning author Matt Wallace and Rick Stringer, producer of the Variant Frequencies podcast: A gorgeous eChapbook entitled "Hath A Darkness," set in the warped world of The Failed Cities.

To some the number 99 represents the many names of God. But as a black snowfall blankets the Failed Cities on Christmas Eve, the arrival of 99 mysterious steel chambers is the catalyst that sets a series of far from blessed events in motion. From bullets and bata sticks to a life-and-death hostage situation to high-speed battles up switchback mountain roads, eight people become links in a deadly chain that will either tether innocent lives to safety or strangle any hope for their future. And as each part of the story unfolds, we learn that above all things, Christmas in the Failed Cities is a feverishly struck balance between the constant threat of violence and the briefest, most bittersweet moments of joy.

Featuring the characters that drove the original audio epic, and told, as always, in their own voices, THE FAILED CITIES: HATH A DARKNESS brings this unique storytelling style to the page for the first time, enhanced with original illustrations by Rick Stringer.
