Woo hoo - an episode with no direction home, like a complete unknown.

There seems to be a JohnBoze/Jeremy from Seattle connection this week. . .

A new mashup skit! (sort of)

Other stuff too. Are these show notes lazy? No. . . just vague. I’ll fill in the details later.
Original fiction from Paul Maki! “Quitting Time”. . . Try to get that “I want some chicken” bed music out of your head. . . .

Original Music! Matt Mango is a rock star. It’s the full-length version of Soldier Boy. . . featuring Matt, Steve, and Jax.

Happy news! Spherical Tomi got a 4-star review over at www.sfreader.com.

“I liked it very much and would gladly recommend it to anyone else who likes the serious science fiction space stuff. Hell, I DON’T usually like that stuff, and I still liked Spherical Tomi.”

Mark Forman, aka One Bad MF, aka, Brooklyn Bluesman, aka Reigning Shogun of Taiwan, has done me the honor of reading my short story, “Truth or Consequences Motel“, on his latest MindField podcast. The Shogun delivers a masterful reading, blending neon cyberpunk attitude and music with the gritty tone of the story.

You really ought to give it a listen.
Thank you very much, MF!

Not one — but two new images from Jason C.! First the sublime
“Go Go Deadpan Rangers”

and then, inspired by Shaun of the Dead, “Jack of the Deadpan”:

Thx JC!

Here’s Mark Forman’s artistic response to a part of Deadpan Episode 15. “Rookie”? Ah well, definitely when compared to Stephen King. Thanks Mark! It really is funny stuff.

Order the Spherical Tomi print chapbook (or e-book) directly from the Creative Guy Publishing website.

Can one woman escape her past?

Not if she is one of the greatest combat programmers in history.

Caught between two powerful warlords in the far future, and trapped by the memory of the man she couldn’t save, Tomi must face the ghosts from her own past, and hide from a world that counts her among its most heinous criminals. Add to this challenge her rapidly deteriorating cloned body, falling apart just in time to meet a new invasion from an old friend, but not quite time enough to replace, and you have the makings of an all around bad day…

Hey, The Genre Mall is listing Spherical Tomi in their catalogue! They’re the first. Big props (Yes, I know their site looks cheesy, but I’ve heard good things so far).
Note: these will not be the pre-signed copies. Those will only be available from Shocklines.com. However! People have inquired about personalized signed copies. Feel free to buy your print copy of Spherical Tomi from Shocklines, Project Pulp, or Genre Mall. Send me an e-mail; I can certainly get you a personalized signed copy.

Shine On You Crazy Daimond.
