Penguicon Awaits!

May 1st, 2009

I’ll be at Penguicon ’09 this weekend, and on a bunch of panels (and I even have a book signing on Sunday). You can read my panel schedule here. Wi-Fi permitting, I’m going to try and do podcast updates from the con. We’ll see though, I may not be able to post them until Sunday night.

Remember: I’m giving out free CDs with the first three episodes of The Magic of Eyri–and episode 003 doesn’t go oline until after Penguicon (5.10), so you’ll get a sneak peek.  If you can’t find a free CD in any of the freebie areas (tables, etc) just ask me for a copy. I’m bringing an extra spindle of blank CDs in case I run out, they won’t have printed labels but you’ll still get the episodes.

Also, an article I wrote is now online, read it at Lansing Capital Gains.

Welcome back!

In our last episode: We find out that Steve is spending the summer with Uncle Shameless in River City and that Steve doesn’t have much use for imagination and make-believe.  Uncle Shameless decides that the two of them should go on a canoe trip down the Grand River, which brings us to…

Today’s episode: In our second episode, our heroes take off on their canoe trip, where they see all kinds of interesting things on the Grand River. They see turtles, swans and ducks.  Sadly, most of the trip is spoiled for Steve by Uncle Shameless’ off-key singing and bad jokes. Just when Steve can’t take any more nonsense, the pair come across an eerie sight on the river.
