On Saturday, Feb. 27 (in two days!) Rich Sigfrit will be hosting an online auction on behalf of Tee’s daughter, affectionately known as “Sonic Boom.” I made a contribution to the auction:
- a signed copy of Murder at Avedon Hill (when it is released in May)
- a custom t-shirt with one of the Children of Az on the front, and whatever text you’d like (approved by me, of course
) on the back.
- a one of a kind DVD with two of the live episodes of Tales of the Children, pop up video and text, audio commentary, and a special video message just for the buyer.
Please visit The Boom Effect for more information on this ‘lot.’ ( http://www.theboomeffect.org/?p=251 )
If you cannot attend the live show, you can make a proxy bid.
And if you are not blown away by this package (I am), then look over the other awesome contributions that will be auctioned off during the show.

Before I go any further, it must be said/written. I’m not happy with this episode. The story is top notch; the reading is solid; good use of music and effects. The issue is with the audio quality of the reading. I made a rookie mistake (which I won’t detail here) that affected the final output file. Whew… I feel better. Let’s get back to the show.
0:00 – Intro Chatter
- Lots of news… will update this with a bullet list later.
7:00 – First Blood – Alex Briggs
A nearly lifelong relationship between a particular human and an orc is played out before our eyes… or ears, rather.
25:00 – Promo
Jake Bible – Dead Mech
26:00 – Outro Chatter
Please visit The Boom Effect to learn more about the charity that has sprung up to support Tee Morris and his daughter. I will be donating stuff to the auction.

I have had a lot of trouble putting into words what I’ve been feeling this week. One of my best friends, both in podcasting and in life, lost his wife unexpectedly. I don’t have the capacity to write what I should at this point, but thankfully J.C. Hutchins has done just that, more eloquently than I ever could. If you have listened to Tee Morris on his podcasts, or even just as the voice of Father Jorrus in Murder at Avedon Hill, please head on over to J.C.’s site and read this post, and listen to the seven minute audio file. Do that for me.
Thank you to J.C., and to Philippa Ballantine for spearheading the effort around this.
Tee, thoughts and prayers go out on your behalf in this time of need. You are loved.

Tomorrow I’ll be doing the 7th Live Show on Stickam.
Thanks to everyone that has attended shows so far. The live show has been such a pleasant surprise! We’ll have another wonderful story from a Podiobooks author, “Feverfew” by H.E. Roulo. Heather is the author of Fractured Horizons, and she is also one of the driving forces behind Podioracket.com. Heather has written a dark, gritty story that I think everyone will love. If you would like a short preview, check out the excerpt on her site.
Come join the fun. We’ll be doing Round 3 of the Damn You Holyfield Drinking Game, so we’ve got that going for us…
Work on the website has gone well so far (slow, but well), and I hope to have new feeds soon.
Last but not least, I have a seekrit project for 2010. Stay tuned…

Well, I’ve been treated mighty nice this week by Tabz and the rest of the band of crazies over at Angel Between the Lines. Here’s what’s happened during the Tales of the Children/Angel Between the Lines Crossover Event:
- On Wednesday evening I did a live reading of Tabitha Grace Smith’s Tales of the Children story, Love’s Sacrificial Song, on Stickam.com
- It was my most popular live show so far, with over 200 people attending at least some part of the two hour show.
- We had a live interview with Tabz after the reading.
- We rolled out a brand new element to the Stickam Live Show… the DYH Drinking Game!
- Later that night, Angel Between the Lines released my story, Exit Strategy, as a nearly hour-long full-cast audio drama.
- From the description on the ABTL website: From Ocean’s 11 to the Italian Job there’s no lack of criminals in fiction, but Johannes Cordner needs the best. The puzzling twists and turns aren’t just keeping the audience confused. Can the criminals break into Wolfram & Hart’s law offices without getting caught? And what exactly are they stealing?
- As always, Tabz has delivered a great production. And since this is my first fiction to hit the podosphere since May, I hope you’ll give it a listen.
- On Thursday, ABTL and Murder at Avedon Hill fan Dan Shaurette wrote a great feature story on me and Murder at Avedon Hill. It must have taken Dan HOURS to write that up, and I’m honored.
- On Friday, ABTL released the .pdf of Exit Strategy.
What a great week (other than my laptop dying, which is another story altogether)!
Thanks again to Tabz and ABtL for such a great time. And for those that missed the live show, the audio version of Love’s Sacrificial Song will be released before the end of the year.

You want a new story by P.G. Holyfield, do you?
I wrote a long short story called “Exit Strategy,” which will be released in audio format over at http://angelbetweenthelines.com – possibly today!
Exit Strategy is a heist story set in the Angel Between the Lines television show universe. While it is fan fiction to a certain extent (one minor character appears from the Angel universe), it is a story that requires no knowledge of the Buffy or Angel television shows. I really enjoyed writing the story, and as soon as the podcast episode is released I’ll post here to let you know.
The live shows just keep getting better and better! Last week we had Philippa Ballantine’s wonderful story, “Love and Fire.” The turnout wasn’t as high as previous shows (post-Halloween blues, maybe?), but we had a great guest appearance at the end of the show: Pip called down from her castle (a library) in New Zealand, waving and yelling “Hullo over there!”
This week I expect a larger audience, as we have a story from Tabitha Grace Smith, one of the forces of nature behind Buffy Between the Lines, Angel Between the Lines, Gilligan’s Island Between the Lines… okay, maybe not that last one. But with fans like hers, I expect Stickam to ROCK tonight! Tabz wrote a long story as well, called Love’s Sacrificial Song.
If there are any questions from the chat I’ll be taking them once again, so come on out and join in the fun.
Author, Podcaster, Father, Husband - First novel, Murder at Avedon Hill, is being published by Dragon Moon Press, Spring 2010. His current podcast is "Tales of the Children," a short story anthology set in his fantasy world, "The Land of Caern."
