Preview: "Buffy: Between the Lines" audio drama /  by J.C. Hutchins

Here's another ambitious, well-crafted and exciting new podfiction project J.C. wants to share with you. It's "Buffy: Between the Lines," a fan-created audio drama based in the Buffy the Vampire Slayer universe. If you love the television show and have an affinity for audio dramas -- and have always been curious to know what happened between the seasons of Joss Whedon's story, this is a must-listen.

The story's already underway, so if you like what you hear, be sure to visit BuffyBetweenTheLines.com to subscribe to the show!

Bonus Episode: CONCORDE /  by J.C. Hutchins

It's a super-speedy update episode from J.C.! He's on the road, on a CODE PHANTOM-related mission on the West Coast ... and he's discovered an awesome independent band that you gotta hear to believe.

The band is CONCORDE. Part rock, part pop, danceable, diggable and a helluva lot of fun. Check out the four tracks J.C.'s included in this episode, including: Nicotine and Cocaine, Like Sunshine, Be Told and Mess I’m Made Of.

If you like what you hear, be sure to visit the band's website: ConcordeRock.com. Spread the word about the band. And if you want to support Concorde (they're destined for great things, trust me), be sure to purchase their CD at the site, or via direct digital download at the band's MySpace page: MySpace.com/ConcordeRock

Enjoy the free tunes! A new episode of 7th Son drops on Nov. 10!

Next episode announcement /  by J.C. Hutchins

My dear Beta Clones: A very unexpected monkey wrench has been thrown into the 7th Son production schedule. I'm heading out of town next week to work with the creative force of nature behind the new CODE PHANTOM novel project. It's going to be a hella productive trek, and should be fun. But ... this has forced me to re-schedule next week's episode.

Ah, but fret not! We ain't skipping a week. The episode is rolling out early. Expect it tomorrow (Saturday) or Sunday AM at the latest. It features a killer "The Story So Far" from a podcaster you know and love (or love to hate), and a juicy cliffhanger. This one's truly the beginning of the end ... less than five episodes remain in the 7th Son trilogy!

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!

Begging! Pleading! Apologies! /  by J.C. Hutchins

Book3_blog.jpeg

To my loving, awesome, ever-diligent, always-vocal, beyond-beautiful Beta Clones.... I come to you tonight, on my knees, pleading for forgiveness.

Yeah. The new episode's gonna post later than I anticipated. CODE PHANTOM is clobbering me this week (I've actually taken the week off from work to write the new novel), and the workload pushed back my writing of the new "The Story So Far" script for this week.

The script was sent to the guest reader this morning, but he'll need free time to record it. If the episode is a no-go by early Friday evening, I'll likely hold off on posting the episode until next Tuesday.

I offer no excuses, and plead for your continued patience and understanding. CODE PHANTOM has an uber-tight deadline, and as much as I want to post 7th Son episodes each week, the paying gig comes first. Please accept my apologies, and look for the new ep next Tuesday at the latest.

Thanks,

--J.C.

Episode 14 delayed /  by J.C. Hutchins

Sorry, 7th Son fans. I know you're jonesin' for a new episode (particularly after last week's chapter ... lots of info, now let's get back to the action!), but I've been swamped writing my super-secret CODE PHANTOM novel, and am behind in assembling this week's ep. Expect it to drop by Thursday at the very latest.

I've also been receiving some interesting news regarding 7th Son's fate in media other than the podcast. I dare not say more, but know that as soon as I can reveal details about 7th Son, CODE PHANTOM and other projects, you'll be the first to know.

Thanks for your patience and understanding!
