7th Son, Book One: Delirious /  by J.C. Hutchins

In my world, parody is the sincerest form of flattery, so I was honored when the brilliantly-funny Clinton told me that he was going to poke fun of 7S in his podcast, Comedy4Cast. I'm tickled beyond words by how his parody turned out. Not only has Clinton nailed my writing style -- he also does a pitch-perfect mimic of my voice and cadence!

I simply had to share this with 7S listeners. Enjoy! And for the love of all that is good in this world, subscribe to Clinton's amazing podcast. He’s the funniest fellow in the podosphere.

John Alpha's New Year's Resolutions /  by J.C. Hutchins

It's the end of 2006, and even super-criminals like John Alpha need to plan for the new year. Thankfully, longtime 7th Son fan Manata found this video of Alpha making his new year's resolutions ... and sent it to J.C. to share with you. This movie's overflowing with 7S in-jokes, and I'm thrilled that Manata made the time to share this. Have a happy new year, everybody!

Scott Sigler vs. Scott Sigler! /  by J.C. Hutchins

Behold, the first VIDEO posted here at JCHutchins.net! This video was sent to J.C. by a 7th Son listener who insists he's the "real" Scott Sigler (and not the novelist Scott Sigler, author of The Rookie). This man is a professional clown -- he goes by the name "Mookie" -- and has been in the business for many years.

It appears that Real Sigler has had enough of the novelist's twisted stories, which are damaging Real Sigler's cheerful, clownly reputation. Real Sigler is about to get his revenge. This video details Mookie's wrath ... with a nice surprise twist that 7th Son fans will enjoy.
