Cast of Wonders Produces my Short Story – Flotsam – for your Ears!

Hey, Sunday!

Listen to my short story, Flotsam, for free over at the Cast of Wonders.

I’m so glad I discovered this nifty little outfit! Cast ofWonders is a Parsec Award* winning podcast out of Britain that specializes in Young adult fiction. As a reader and a parent, I love listening to novels, stories and podcasts. I also love reading out loud to my kids. I believe hearing stories, as well as reading them, is a great way to broaden your experience with all things literary. That’s why it’s so wonderful to find people who are passionate about bringing great stories to kids ears.

Be sure to check out their Camp Myth project while you’re there.  

“Cast of Wonders presents the first Camp Myth novella, Phoenix Watching, as a full cast audio drama serialized over 15 episodes. Each episode also features a camper spotlight, showcasing the rich and divers cast of characters.” 

Listen to it for free, get it on Kindle or spring for the actual, physical book. Camp Myth has its own very cool website and there’s even an RPG game – I think these guys get kids!

* The Parsec Awards are a “celebration of speculative fiction podcasting.” They’re like the Hugos of the podcast world. If you’re looking for great spec fic podcasts, these awards are great place to start!

A New Story Available

My story Flotsam is up at FlagShip issue 6, which is a nifty little eZine that is the Science Fiction/Fantasy arm of Flying Island Press with a mission to

"bring the hottest science fiction and fantasy they can find to the earbuds and e-readers of their audience."

 I really enjoyed writing Flotsam. I set out to tell a simple story in the style of Golden Age science fiction. I felt that the wide-eyed wonder of that style fit nicely with the voice of the young protagonist.
