Preview: "Playing for Keeps" podiobook by J.C. Hutchins

500x500_2736861_file.jpeg

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!
