Though depressed about his early death, he befriends two other souls doing time there – the writer Edgar Allan Poe and a fun-loving beach bum named Billy. Upon receiving a letter from God telling him he must learn some unnamed lessons before he can go to heaven, he convinces Poe to join him in the portal back to earth. They hope to make up for their past mistakes, but they arrive on earth in the year 2049, 42 years after Charles’ death. Traveling from mid-21st century New York City to Las Vegas, Charles seeks out the daughter he neglected in life, though she is now in her eighties. However, an unfriendly soul from Purgatory follows them to earth. This soul, an employee with whom Charles had an affair and summarily fired, is determined to keep him from winning passage to heaven. She teams up with Charles’ grandson, a debt-ridden gambling addict who has a talent for messing things up. Together, they hatch a scheme to foil Charles’ plan to get to heaven and net the grandson badly-needed money. Charles learns of their plans and enlists his friends to help stop them. Will they succeed?

It’s from the Jennisodes podcast, which I discovered a couple of weeks ago. It’s quickly become one of my favorites, added to my already too-long list of podcast subscriptions.

In this episode, she interviews public relations professional Joshua Logan Seideman. Some of you may know that public relations is one of the many hats I wear at my day job, so I was especially interested in this one. The conversation surrounds the topic of marketing a game (Jennisodes is a podcast devoted to role playing games, after all,) but his points are valuable to anyone who is trying to get their work noticed. I listened to it once yesterday while walking my dog and driving to work (not at the same time,) and I plan to listen to it again when I can scribble down some notes.

Whether or not you have an interest in RPG’s, I highly recommend Jenn’s podcast simply because every week she gets fascinating guests to interview. This week’s episode features the two attorneys who do the Law Of The Geek podcast. Again, the talk was about the legal aspects of game design and marketing, but they made some very interesting points about contracts with illustrators and other outside content creators. As someone who is contemplating self-publishing, I had not given this any thought, which is especially bad since I spend much of my time on the day job reading contracts. Even if you decide not to bother with a formal contract, you should be aware of the implications of that decision, so I strongly recommend you give that show a listen.

So much to listen to, so little time…

This year, I want to share another terrific holiday story, one that ran a year ago on Podcastle. It’s The Christmas Mummy by the husband and wife team of Heather Shaw and Tim Pratt. This is a funny but heartwarming story that the whole family can enjoy. It features an average American family with average American kids, average American ninjas, an average American mummy, an average American eccentric uncle, and said uncle’s arch-nemesis.

Here’s the beginning of the story, as posted on Podcastle’s site last Christmas:

Trish led Nate from the room, into the hall — their parents’ door was
closed — and onto the stairs. She could hear someone moving down
there. Trish crept down the carpeted steps. The only light in the
living room came from the bright Christmas tree. Even the yule log in
the fireplace had burned down.

Two men, dressed in black pajamas with their faces covered, were tying
a big red ribbon around a crate that was bigger than the couch.

“Ninjas?” Trish whispered to her brother.

“Christmas ninjas,” Nate said.

One of the ninjas pulled up his mask a little and ate one of the
cookies they’d left for Santa. He drank the milk, too, leaving a white
mustache on his ninja mask when he pulled it back down over his mouth.

I hope you like this as much as I did.

Abbie and I had such a good conversation that it ran over an hour without me realizing it. Not only is she a gifted storyteller, but she has put more thought and work into the writing business model than most writers I know. She is also one of the first (if not the first) to produce an illustrated podcast, putting hundreds of dollars of her own money into fine artwork that brings her characters to life. I hope you enjoy this discussion as much as I did.

Of course, I recorded the interview and the intro and outro before I listened to episode #4 of Book 3 of Cowry Catchers, in which several male slaves are brought up short and Silveo is left speechless. Having listened to that, I’m both a great admirer of her writing and a little bit afraid of her. (Just kidding, Abbie.)

Well, not new, exactly…it dates back to 2006. That is when Escape Pod #85 hit the Internet with Mur Lafferty’s delightful story Merry Christmas From the Heartbreakers. Mur writes a Christmas story every year for Escape Pod, but this one stands as my favorite, and I make a point of re-listening to it every December. This will be one of the rare times when I actually listen to a podcast episode from my feed. If you haven’t heard this story before, you’re in for a treat. If you have, then you know what I’m talking about, so listen to it again.

Raise a glass with Gingermuffin and enjoy the story. Happy holidays!

To celebrate, here’s a little spookesode, courtesy of one of my favorite characters and one of America’s greatest writers, Edgar Allan Poe. One good turn deserves another: I had so much fun writing a fictional version of him for Purgatory, that it seems only fitting that I present his classic poem, The Raven. I love some of the phrases he turns in this poem — “grim, ungainly, ghastly, gaunt”, for example. It really is a musical work. Mr. Poe was much more than the comic figure I made him out to be in my novel. He was the original American mystery and horror writer.I leave you with one word: Nevermore. Enjoy!

Presented every year at a ceremony during Dragon*Con in Atlanta, the Parsecs honor achievements in short and long fiction podcasting, audio dramas, music, news, and anthology podcasts. Previous winners include such luminaries as Mur Lafferty, Scott Sigler, Tee Morris, James Durham, and Christiana Ellis. The rest of us are barely worthy to carry their USB cables.

Nominations are now open for the 2010 Parsec Awards, which means that anyone who is a fan of a certain show (or, ahem, a certain podcast novel) can nominate it for consideration. So, if any of you feel so inclined as to nominate Purgatory for the Best Speculative Fiction Story (Long Form) category, far be it from me to stop you. And while it would be entirely beneath me to remind you that you can submit nominations on the Parsec Awards Web site (or by sending an e-mail) any time between now and June 1, I understand other more shameless podcasters are doing just that. Personally, I find that to be undignified. (Incidentally, have you noticed that Parsec and Purgatory both start with the letter P? Just sayin’.)
