No Podcast This Week

Hey Everyone.  Sorry for the lack of a podcast this week.  However, I am suffering from two maladies.

  • My Comcast connection has slowed to a crawl – almost to a stand-still – and doesn’t look as if it will recover before the day is out.  It’s a little hard to upload something that may take hours.  Thank you Comcast!
  • My lack of inspiration for this week.  For some reason, I just don’t have a great idea for sharing with you.  Rather than bore you, pick up on a podcast you haven’t listened to this week.

Thanks for your patience.  I’ll see you next week with the Narration by George Podcast – the podcast on audiobooks, spiritual ideas, and other items of interest.

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!

#75-Other Worldly Tales #2

Cover-AudioOur look into tales of other worlds – even just altered earths – continues today with an in-depth look at The Destined.  This is a tale of evil powers which arise every 700 years or so and threaten earth.  To counter this threat, others are imbued with gifts to fight this evil and set things right again.  This story tells the story of a High School Teacher and a few teens who have been imbued with this power.  The question is, will they know how to use it to save the planet from total annihilation.  It’s a such a fast moving action-adventure-other worldly tale that it’s hard to stop listening.

#73-Of Science & Science Fiction

Amazon coverI’m in the midst of narration and production of the latest science fiction novel by Michael Miller, Second Earth, M-104. This is the third in a series of books about an alien who wishes to destroy earth and the scientists who are battling to keep earth alive.  This battle takes a lot of technology – some of it “other worldly”.  Michael takes the time to share some of this technology with us and how he thinks it might work.

I share Michael Millera sample from the book as well as the author’s comments about writing in this genre and the research which goes into the writing of this exciting book.

Songs That I Whisper

Songs That I Whisper

This week we move from multiple stories about individuals to stories about a family.  In a series of five books, we meet the Warren Family.  The first book I produced for Regina Puckett, Concealed in My Heart, tells the story of the romance between David and Charity Warren.  Songs That I Whisper introduces us to the first of their adult children Suzette and her beau, Seth Black.  We examine and sample both of these books in this podcast.  Next week, we’ll look at the other books in the series.

#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?
