Want to hear my first professional short fiction sale?
I recently sold two interrelated short stories to an online science fiction podcast called "Escape Pod".

This week my tale "Iron Bars and the Glass Jaw" is the feature story. The reading runs about 35 minutes and can be downloaded at www.escapepod.info

Let me know if you like it :)

4. It Was Well Worth My Time!
I'm out here on a dial-up mode. The salesman at Cingular called my laptop a dinosaur. I had to update my audio listening but I'm so glad that I did!

Thank you for sharing the link.

5. It was my pleasure and I am thrilled you liked it
would you consider putting a comment under the story at www.escapepod.info?

They bought another Union Dues tale about three weeks ago, it will be posted in Feb 06 (or so Steve Eley tells me), and if I get a bunch of comments they might buy the other five stories in the series.

6. I'd be happy to add a comment.
Can it wait until Sunday? I'd like to be back home and thinking a little more clearly after a full night's rest in my own bed.


BTW ~ Your story line reminds me of the job the mods do so well.

11. The nice thing about Escape Pod -
is that I sell them the one time audio rights and still retain print rights, so I can still shop the first story around to magazines. With luck if it's popular at Escape Pod I can sell the whole series as a book of shorts (or sell the entire UD Novel I have written) while the stories are appearing at Escape Pod.
