Podcast of "Pattern Masters"

I’m sure by now that everybody’s sick and tired of Good News From Jeff (and we’re not done yet), so I’ll keep this one brief and limited to the few choice brains roaming across this blog!

My creepy suspense short story “Pattern Masters,” originally published a few years ago in Tales of the Unanticipated #25, has just been released as an audio story by the insanely talented masters at Pseudopod. Narrated by David Moore, who unerringly nails the twitchy, sarcastic narrative of the main character, this rendition ranks right there at the top of my absolute favorites, possibly even edging out the tempting British woman who narrated “The Frozen Sky” over at Starship Sofa.

You can give it a listen at:

But don't neglect Amy H. Stugis at:

And now... enter... SANDMAN !!!

Here's another fun new twist! My near-future action story "Enter Sandman," originally published in Artemis Magazine #6, has just been released as a podcast by the good folks at Dunesteef. They did an excellent job with the narration and sound effects, and I suggest giving it a listen.
It's fun! It's free! And it can be found http://dunesteef.com/ ;)

Short fiction & such

I've been meaning to write this up, too, some fun and success on the short fiction front. My novelette “The Frozen Sky” was given an honorable mention in the new The Year’s Best Science Fiction by Gardner Dozois. Unfortunately, it was credited to another writer. There’s a guy named Bruce Carlson who also got the nod… for two stories... the second of which is mine. That’s fine. I’m happy just to see the story recognized.

Bruce, where are you, man? Maybe we should start a club or something.

In the meantime (and blame this one on British Steve Gaskell) I’m continuing to have success selling the audio rights of old short stories to various podcasters. Podcasting is the new, hot thing, I guess.

“Gunfight at the Sugarloaf Pet Food & Taxidermy” (Asimov’s, January 2007) went to Starship Sofa, who can be found, unsurprisingly, at www.starshipsofa.com. That’s my second piece to them.

“Enter Sandman” (Artemis Magazine, Spring 2002) went to Dunesteef, a new podcasting outfit at http://dunesteef.com/

And “Monsters” (Space and Time #97, March 2003) went to Horror Addicts, also a new upstart, which can be found at http://www.horroraddicts.net/

Exciting stuff!
