#80-Next Up

This week, I’m back with a look at the Four Spooky Offerings of 2016 for Halloween.  We look at Slimmer, Do You Want to Play a Game?, Payback, and Crying Through Plastic Eyes; all short stories written by Regina Puckett.  I play you samples from two of the books and share a little of the plot lines.  But you have to listen to the books to find the endings!

avatars-of-web-surfer-cover-crop-smThen it’s time to look forward to the next offering coming from Narration by George: Avatars of Web-Surfer.  This is a collaborative effort of four authors to bring a great Science Fiction idea to life.  I’ve got an audio sample of an early version of the book for you to sample.  And we talk about the Virtual Release Party for this new book.  Exciting stuff!

Game CoverUh-oh!  This podcast was taken over by a pirate.  Captain Cleytus Pitcher IV captured the microphone and tied me up so that I couldn’t speak to you this week.  He still shared the new stuff that’s coming Payback coverAmazon coverto Narration by George.  So, that’s good.  There are two short horror tales by Regina Puckett – Do You Want to Play a Game? (just released today) and Payback.  And there is the new Science Fiction epic, Second Earth M-104 by Michael Miller.  (The Captain just doesn’t get Sci-Fi!)  In the end, I was able to get the police involved and now he’s spending the night in jail. But, he’s still on the look-out for his treasure!

#76-Other Worldly Tales #3

Knighthawke-NEW-WEB-ICONKNIGHTHAWKE--VS-NEW-WEB-ICOWe’ve been looking at tales where the setting is an “other worldly” one.  But, what if our main character is “other worldly” and set in our modern day world.  We take a look at such a character today known as “Knighthawke”.  Author Jerry Minchew created Knighthawke as the main character for the book bearing his name and the sequel, Knighthawke: Vanishing Shadows.  Michael is an ordinary young man with ordinary aspirations who is caught in an unbelievable set of events which make him over into an “other-worldly” character.  Take a listen to some samples in today’s podcast!

#69-Books That Go Together #4

lobe & matterLast week, we started looking at a pair of books by Michael Miller.  These books – The Sixth Lobe and Born to Matter – tell the story of Danny Wilson and his unusual ability to read people’s sub-conscious thoughts.  We met Danny as a boy last week.  This week, we see him all grown up and tackling the real world.  I play samples from the second book, Born to Matter.  Join me for a fun ride.

#68-Books That Go Together #3

The-Sixth-Lobe-NEW-WEB-ICONWe continue sampling from Books That Go Together; stories and characters that are sooo good that they cannot be told in one novel.  Today, we start looking at the two book story of Danny Wilson in The Sixth Lobe and Born to Matter by Michael Miller.

In The Sixth Lobe we meet Danny and discover his condition – an extra lobe in his brain that allows him to read other people’s subconscious thoughts.  This is a problem for young Danny; an opportunity for the adult Danny; and it creates interest from several parties as his abilities are discovered.  How does he handle this situation?

#67 – Books That Go Together #2

Knighthawke-NEW-WEB-ICONKNIGHTHAWKE--VS-NEW-WEB-ICOWe continue looking at books-that-go-together by sampling more from the Knighthawke series.  Remember, books that go together are stories and characters that are so good that they cannot be confined to one novel.  It takes multiples.  The Knighthawke series is just one of the ones I’ve recorded.

Knighthawke tells the story of an American hero, Michael Webber.  In the second book, Knighthawke: Vanishing Shadows, Michael continues his quest for his identity and taking on missions for the Air Force, many involving international intrigue.  Michael continues with his one mission – find his family.

#66 – Books That Go Together #1

Knighthawke-NEW-WEB-ICONWe start a new series today in “Books That Go Together.”  Sometimes a story is so good that it cannot be told in just one novel.  It must spread across to a second, maybe a third, maybe more.  Think of the Lord of the Rings series, for example.  I have recorded several books which fall into this category.

Today I focus on a book which covers the life of an extraordinary young man named Michael.  Since this covers his life, it had all the elements you might want to see in a book – mystery, adventure, romance, and even some science fiction.  And that is just in book one.  Listen for some samples of a wonderful read.
