monday podcast #2

[adelaidesean]

My 70th published short story is now in the world--but not in the usual sense of "published". It's unavailable on paper or in any readable form. Instead, you have to put your feet up and listen to me read it to you. I hope that won't pose an unbearable inconvenience. :-)

Keith Stevenson has just posted an exclusive podcast containing "A Longing for the Dark" to Terra Incognita. You can download or stream audio direct from TISF, or source it from iTunes. Fresh, free, and available on a Creative Commons Attribution-Noncommercial-Share Alike 2.5 Australia License.

Note: the story is set in my Geodesica universe. If that's not a series you're familiar with, you can find out more at the Voyager blog, where the wonderful Natalie asked me to explain what it's all about. If you have read the books, this interview might still interest you. I talk about where the story originated and what challenges I set myself along the way.

"A Longing for the Dark" stands alone, so don't feel you have to sit through some tedious primer before starting. Just make a hot chocolate, close your eyes, and...

...enjoy!

so, all this time your homepage has stated "Author of seventy published short stories and twenty-nine novels," you've been lying to us? It was only 69!

If you can add one, then so can I - and tell people I'm published ;)

Congrats, Sean.

Mea culpa! Because I'm so slow at updating my site bio, it sometimes runs slightly ahead. The novel count is up to, but all will be restored come April, when the last of the books for this year comes out.

Also, the short story count changes depending on whether you count Cenotaxis or not. It's published as a standalone novella, but it's about the length of two of the pieces I have coming out in anthologies this year. Because 70 made a better attention-grabber, this morning it didn't count. :-)

Perhaps I should add an error estimate: "author of seventy published short stories, +/- 2".
