This is Life

So I think this is one of the coolest things to happen in a while.

Check out this guy's blog. Basically, he wrote me and asked for a version of JACK PALMS II: This Is Life that his students could read along with as they listened to the podcast. Loving students and teachers, I sent a PDF of the book right along.

Now I see this super cool blog post where he's actually hand-bound printouts of the PDF for his peeps! They look awesome. Anyway, check this out.

Oh, also, Jason Pinter has been awesome enough to mention YOUNG JUNIUS and talk it up in his most recent post at the Huffington Post. It's here: Books Uncovered.

This is the Q and A special hosted by Technofodder's Big-O with special guests Soccergirl, Mills Hopkins and lots of fabulous listeners. Here it is! Thanks to Big-O from Technofodder for putting this interview together and for the great questions. Thanks for all of you listeners out there who called in or joined the chat room. YOU were the ones that made this an awesome event for me! Optimized SH.com page for screenreaders is here.

The Final Episode!! No sneak peaks. You have to listen to see how everything shakes on down. It's the end... until JP3... Story so far this week by a very special guest. 

Things go white hot in the garage as we near the end. Jack's challenged to find what he has deep down. Where's Shaw? Who's the sniper? We find out here! AND: an extra special preview from A Long Way from Disney at the end. Thanks to Declan Burke for this week’s story so far. More from him at Crime Always Pays, even me.   And my new story “The True Story” is out new in the fall Steel City Review. 

Jack and Shaw follow a tunnel. The girls take the lead. Jack gets a new car. Gannon gets a call. And Jack looks to find a parking place in the garage. Story So Far this week: Steve McDermott of Storyglossia (my favorite online lit mag!)  

How deep does the rabbit hole go? All the way through the Top Notch, apparently. After taking down the cafe, Jack and Shaw move through the house on Prescott. What will they find inside? Who's Matsumoto? Will Jack freeze up when the pressure's really on? Find out HERE. SSF this week by Crimespace’s Daniel Hatadi from The Land Down Under. Special thanks to Shua Mullikin and SoccerGirl for voice work this week. 

Shaw throws down on Bartol as more Russians show up. Jack has his hands full. Jack makes a big decision in the blink of an eye. This week’s Story So Far by Anthony Neil Smith, author of Psychosomatic and The Drummer, as well as an awesome guy.  

Jack meets up with Shaw and tries to convince him to... go after Akakievich. The two don't agree, but head to Tedeschi's cafe to see what they can find. This week’s story so far by Nathan Cain of Indie Crime. See his interview with me from last week. Do me a favor? Respond to this survey so Wizzard knows who you are. It helps. AND: visit the Golden Gate Mysteries bibliography to see Jack Wakes Up in the “New Additions” section! Check out Bob O’s Logos for cool art. 

Shaw's back in The city and Gannon gets called home by someone called Dockery. Will anyone go after Akakievich? Jack wants to ditch Gannon and do just that. This week’s recap is by Soccergirl. Check out her site here.
