Special Halloween episode: “Stranded” by Phil Rossi

October 31, 2008 in All Posts, Fiction with 1 Comment

Horror novelist Phil Rossi recently cooked up a terrific tale for Halloween, and asked J.C. to share it with 7th Son fans here in the podcast feed. A huge fan of Phil’s work, J.C. was honored by the offer, and is thrilled to present Stranded, a spooky tale that’ll make you chilled to the marrow.

“Chilling” doesn’t describe just the mood — it describes the tale itself. In Stranded, a blizzard shuts down an isolated stretch of Route 15 … and the people left there learn discover that there is more to fear than freezing to death …

As I bebop ’round the ‘net looking for freelance writing/editing gigs, I encounter some awfully, ah, unique creative opportunities. This is the best I’ve seen yet. (Click image for larger version.)

The dude definitely has a vision … and I kinda admire the hell out of him for that.

October 12, 2008 in All Posts, Fiction with 2 Comments

7th Son: OBSIDIAN logoWelcome to the final episode of 7th Son: OBSIDIAN — and we’ve saved the best for last. Horror/sci-fi author Scott Sigler — the grand poohba of podiobooks himself — has the final story in this anthology, and it’s everything you’d expect from the master of horror podfiction. Called Eusocial Networking, the story is a monster in itself, weighing in at around 50 minutes. It’s brilliant stuff, and well worth the wait.

Scott Sigler is a trailblazer in podcasting and publishing, and his stories and novels are must-listens.

Visit him at ScottSigler.com, and be sure to send him an appreciative email.

Three important items from J.C.’s intro chatter:

  • J.C.’s next podfiction project — The 33 — will debut early next year

PROMOS:

Expect an audio update with J.C. in the next week or two…

Hey gang — after spending $40 a month for six months for an email blast service I wasn’t using, I’m giving ReverbNation a spin. Designed for independent musicians, the service seems very robust and flexible. Best of all, it’s free.

If you’ve emailed me, like, ever, chances are you’re going to get an “opt-in” email from the ReverbNation folks. I’d appreciate it if you clicked through and signed up to receive email blasts from me in the future. If you’ve never emailed me — and don’t worry, I don’t take it personally … I’m a lurker myself — but want to sign up, feel free to use the form below. (RSS readers click here.)

Thanks for your endless support, folks. I’m humbled to be in such awesome company.

–J.C.

7th Son: OBSIDIAN - Voices From the Darkness

This is a fixed repost of OBSIDIAN episode 28. The video “froze” in the previous version of this episode, but has been fixed here. Please accept J.C.’s apologies for the inconvenience. Also, please see his note at the end of this post for another apology regarding another part of this vid.

Welcome to the seventh video episode of “Voices From the Darkness,” where the stars and creators are 7th Son fans from across this globe. This is the second of a “triple play” of videos: tomorrow will see the release of the third — and likely final — “Voices From the Darkness” video episodes.

NOTE FROM J.C.: I had some serious issues with the video for this episode. In the process of troubleshooting, I swapped the order of two clips — Geoff Schaadt’s and Jeremiah McCoy’s — but neglected to change their order in the end credits. The credits list Jeremiah’s clip as being “Scene Two” and Geoff’s as “Scene Three.” The video is inaccurate; those credits should be reversed. The correct credits are listed here in the shownotes.

Please accept my apologies, Jeremiah, Geoff and 7th Son viewers.
