Well, ladies and gentlemen, I am very excited to announce that podiobooks.com has picked up Piggy Moto! I’m getting caught up there as I record new episodes, so if you haven’t gotten caught up yet, then head on over. Be sure to give me some ratings and a review while you’re there. The paper version of the novel will debut at Anthrocon, 2011 in Pittsburgh.  That’s right!  Fur Planet is bringing this story to print, and I’m heading out to the David L. Lawrence Convention Center to sign copies through the weekend. Also, the Kindle version will be released about 6 months after the “dead-tree” debut.

I am excited and nervous as heck!

Big cast, Lots and lots of characters!   Sheeesh!  It was crazy.  Chris was a real angel today.  I was about to give up on posting this episode because I just kept running into hardware problems left and right.  But, he would not let me give up.

I’m pretty close to halfway done with my move out to Midland.  It’s really beautiful out here, but all of the driving is keeping me away from the computer and away from the podcast :P  *dies*

Another quick episode, but this one features one of the most popular supporting Characters, the cute little fox druid Renard.  (I have a doodle of him around here SOMEwhere)  I also mention the Piggy Moto hotline number, so listen and check it out :)  You’re also called out on a mission for the pigs, so listen to the banter carefully!

A special thank-you goes out to the kind folks at Weasel Word Smith.  They lent Joey (Renard) a microphone so that he could record his lines and send them to me from California.  So, THANKS GUYS!!!  Y’all should pop over to their site and check them out after this episode. :)

Here are some more pix that Chris took of the costume that I got from buycostumes.com (click here to check out how you can get your own costume and save a chunk of change).  The wand and crystal are my own, but the rest of it, including the pendant came with the costume.

What a cast!  Episode 28!

…

With only one or two exceptions, this episode features the voices of every single major-part cast member, so this episode was a BEAR (rarr) to put together.  But, it was a lot of fun :)  I still haven’t made any new promos, but I do plan to record the files for the Piggy Moto Voicemail line today, so be sure to keep an eye on my  Twitter and Facebook for that.

Also, keep downloading and posting the fliers (big and small).  There may be a convention coming to town near you.  Why not print out a bunch and help out the show? *wink*

The manuscript is done and edited.. and I’ve entered it into a publication contest.  Even if I don’t take first prize, runners up and finalists get critiques of their work, and that would be great as well.  So, I’m all kinds of excited.  I’ll let you know on the 25th when I do.

Once again, please, please, please, head over to Podcast Alley and iTunes and give Piggy Moto a vote and nice comment! If you’d like, feel free to follow me on Twitter or Facebook, as I’ll be posting periodic updates there.

…

Man!  I didn’t realize how long this one would be ’till I looked at the final time of it!  Sheesh!  But I’m pretty happy with the way it came out, and am proud to drop it this morning. :)   I wanna send out a special thanks to MandoAndy, who let me use one of his songs for this episode.  He’s got a lot of great stuff, and I’m really glad to have been allowed to use this one.  So, Thanks, Mandoandy!

There are only a couple episodes left in Act II!  I can’t believe it, how time has flown.  I listened to some of the early promos, and they are all like “coming in September of 2008!”  That’s crazy!  But we’re getting to the final stretch, and a LOT had changed.  I can only imagine what things are gonna be like when we reach our final episode.  Sheesh!  What will I do THEN?!

I guess I’ll cross that bridge when I come to it.  Right now, though, I’d like to mention the voicemail line I’m getting for Piggy Moto.  Now, I’m not droping the number right now; I’m still setting it all up, but when I do get it finalized, I will drop the number on Twitter and Facebook.  This’ll let me test the system out a bit before I start putting the number out for everyone else.

I dropped a promo into this episode for Paulette Jaxton’s The Empress Sword podcast novel.  She just started dropping episodes last week, so you can still get in on the ground floor.  She’s got a lot of great voice talent there, and her production is just top notch.  Not to mention the great story!  Go check it out.  You won’t regret it at all.

I’m polishing the manuscript up, and I’m getting it ready to farm out for publication.  You all have been more encouraging than I can put into words.  I love you all!
