As promised, I decided to interview the other four finalists in the Best Audio Drama Long Form Category at this year’s Parsec Awards. While I’m ultimately hoping to sabotage all of my competitors by getting them to admit to something horrible… like drinking Miller Lite… or kicking puppies… I’m afraid all I’m really good at is making sure people learn more about these wonderful creators.
Here is the first of my four interviews, this one with Christof Laputka, creator and writer of The Leviathan Chronicles.
Christof is a world traveler, a former finance expert, a Highlander fan, a production whore… and his commitment to his audio drama, in terms of both time and money, is awe-inspiring.
One of the many things I’m looking foward to at Dragon*Con this year is meeting Christof and drinking a beer (or three).
Enjoy!

We had a lot of fun Wednesday night. So much fun, in fact, that we couldn’t fit it all onto one video.
The first video has some news, a quick Dragon*Con report, and a song from Kim Fortuner and Patrick McLean, recorded at D*C, with Tim Dodge on guitar.
This second video is the reading of “Swimming Lessons,” by Gabrielle Harbowy, followed by a Q&A led by Chooch.
If you attended, continue being part of the live show by calling the Caern Line. (704) 315-5884. I’ll be playing questions and comments on the next live show.
Here we are once again. While I did meet my 9/09/09 start date for Tales of the Children (a live reading of this same story on Stickam), it did take me until now to finish the audio production of that same episode. At least you know what you get with me. Late, but hopefully worth it.
“Tales of the Children” t-shirts at http://pgholyfield.spreadshirt.com – email me and I’ll create a custom t-shirt for you, with whatever “Child” you like best!
