Boyscouts of the Apocalypse by Michell PlestedBook Cover

I had the privilege to produce the cover for Michell Plested's awesome novel "Boyscouts of the Apocalypse." This cover was really fun to work on. I did the sketch in pencil, inked it with a Sharpie Pen - Fine Point, and all the coloring and typography was done digitally in Gimp (like Photoshop but freeware).

You'll be able to read it for free on Wattpad soon and I'll make sure to come back and add the link. For now you can listen to an audio version of it at www.actionpackpodcast.com.

I'm in a Parsec Awards promo!

I was approached by my friend, Michell Plested of the Get Published & Galaxy Billies podcasts, to add my voice to a Parsec Awards promo he wrote. Not only was I really excited to finally lend my voice to a project, but his promo is really funny! Mike shows up at my door in the middle of the night, having traveled some 600 miles from Canada, just to tell me about the Parsec Awards. You've got to hear it. It can be found in the link above, or better yet in his latest episode of Get Published, Episode 29 – Nathan Lowell’s Journey to Publication. You can hear Mike interview my favorite podiobooks author, Nathan Lowell, right after the promo plays at 11:06.

UPDATE on my first podcast episode:

I have 14½ minutes produced now of my first short story, "Good Things Come in Small Packages. It's going to drop hopefully sometime later this week, so stay tuned! I thought I'd be done by now, but I've added background music and some sound effects, so it's taking longer. That said, I think it will be worth it in the end, I'm really happy with the way it's turning out.
