T-Minus 1 is a short story set in the Land of Caern, detailing events that marked the beginning of the “War for Caern” (some twenty-five years before the events of Murder at Avedon Hill).

I hope the sound quality of this episode is considerably better than previous episodes. I’m trying to decide whether I want to encode at a 96 or 128 bitrate. This file is at 96 kbps. Any feedback on the sound quality of this episode would be greatly appreciated!

The force of nature known as Scott Sigler needs your help. His second novel is being published by Dragon Moon Press, and will be available on Amazon.com April 1st. He (and many of us junkies) want to take Ancestor to #1. Don’t pre-order it today (well, if you must… I’m sure Scott wouldn’t mind). Please wait until noon on April 1st. Then buy it. Let’s show everyone that podcasted fiction is more than a possible foot in the door with a mid-list publisher. Let’s prove that we can take a novel previously podcasted for free all the way to #1 on Amazon.com.

T-Minus 2 is a replay of the short story that was first played on Scott Sigler’s The Rookie Podcast.

Special Guest: J.C. Hutchins (for the hundreth time, thanks J.C. for reading Scott’s part in this story).

Yeah, I’m taking the easy way out this week. Next time (T-Minus 1) will be new fiction. Promise.

Apologies for the sound quality. I was going to redo my lines with the new equipment, but after the time I lost with Audition over the last two days, I was left with using the older version of the story.

I’ve had my first blowup in Adobe Audition… hooray!!! Argh. I had the episode edited and ready to go, but a crash now prevents me from accessing the session file.

The file edits are done. I just have to rebuild the session. I hope to post T-Minus 2 tonight.
