“7th Son” Anthems: Revisited
March 25, 2008
In the final episode of 7th Son, Book Three: Destruction, listeners were treated to a mixed audio montage of the anthems heard in the 7th Son trilogy. Fans of the series requested a stand-alone version of that experience, and now J.C. Hutchins can release it into the wild.
This audio was brilliantly mixed by Destruction’s producer, Shawn Bishop, and features these songs:
- “Afraid This Time” by Celldweller (Intro)
- “Purple” by Ethic (Book One: Descent anthem)
- “Switchback” by Celldweller (Book Two: Deceit anthem)
- “Symbiont” by Celldweller (Book Three: Destruction anthem)
Enjoy!

“7th Son: Destruction” Blooper Reel
March 25, 2008
Fans of 7th Son, Book Three: Destruction may remember a brilliant audio recording that first saw light back in December 2007, when author J.C. Hutchins chatted with Destruction’s producer, Shawn Bishop.
In that Q&A episode, Shawn presented a masterfully-mixed, hilarious “blooper reel” of a flummoxed — and very foul-mouthed — Hutchins as he tried to read various parts of the novel. Hutchins’ readings may be very good indeed in the 7th Son audiobooks … but there’s many a mis-speak between mic and final mixdown.
Listeners requested a stand-alone audio file of this blooper reel, and — after receiving permission from Celldweller to release the file into the wild (Celldweller provides the “soundtrack” for the experience) — they can now listen to it in all its snarky glory. Be warned: four-letter words abound.

November 28, 2007
In 2005, Tee Morris debuted the free audiobook version of his epic fantasy novel, MOREVI: The Chronicles of Rafe and Askana. It was the first podcast novel in history. MOREVI quickly became an icon in podiobooks, and is still revered as one of the best works of podfiction today.
The novel is breathtaking in scope, and Morris abridged the audio version of his story for its 2005 release. But now, the author is releasing the complete version of the story with new music and new character voices. Welcome to MOREVI: Remastered.
J.C. is proud to present 7th Son listeners with this exclusive sneak peek of the novel’s first chapter. MOREVI: Remastered launches tomorrow; if you like what you hear, be sure to visit Morevi.net to subscribe.

Preview: “Playing for Keeps” podiobook
October 31, 2007
Hey 7th Son fans! J.C. knows you dig podcast novels, so he reckoned you’d be interested in PLAYING FOR KEEPS, the new podiobook by Mur Lafferty. This new novel is about a group of “third-string” superhero rejects (with charmingly lame superpowers) who find themselves pitted against the major league supervillains — and heroes — of Seventh City.
It’s a great read, and J.C. hopes you give the podiobook a listen when it debuts Nov. 1 at PlayingForKeepsNovel.com!
