I’m proud to announce that Tee Morris and Pip Ballantine have released part 1 of my two-part story, “Night’s Plutonian Shore” for their “Tales from the Archives” podcast fiction anthology, set in the Victorian Steampunk world of their Ministry of Peculiar Occurrences novel(s). As described by Tee and Pip:
This epic tale opens in 1849 when a poet is murdered in the streets of Baltimore. The man behind the seemingly random murder manages to elude the law until — in 1889 — Agents Bruce Campbell and Brandon Hill track him down. The assassin, Mikael Scharnusser, gives the slip to the agents on revealing his “talent” and the madman’s intentions to bring down the House of Usher.
The early reception has been wonderful. You can hear the story here: http://www.ministryofpeculiaroccurrences.com/2011/06/22/tales-from-the-archives-eight-part-one/
It was an honor to be invited.

I lived a privileged burdened blessed cursed good evil life
OMG is that Madonna?!?!?!?!??!!!
I totally approve of the ending music choice. Totally approve. Something tells me that wasn’t your choice Jack?
loved the story :)
Steampunk isn’t a genre I am usually drawn to, but it was quite entertaining. There are few authors who will draw me into reading (err… listening) to a style of book I am not usually into. The list is quite short.. Jack Mangan, Jim Butcher, Octavia Butler… think that might be about it ;)
LOL.. live action dumb ass memory has just occurred. I forgot I was playing this in my itunes.. it shuffled to a Madonna song after your story.. LOL
ignore my above comments about Madonna
*blush*
LOL
*sigh*
I was hoping no one would notice
Madonna is very Steampunk :)
Thanks so much for the kind words, Dre. Krikey, you’re a fine sheila!
It’s just that she wears the goggles as a bra.
Madonna, not Dre.
… at least not to my knowledge.
Goggles as a bra?? I’m not sure they make goggles in the correct size. If they do so I will make a bra out of them just for you j0e!
So I just gave this a listen and can’t wait to hear part2.
I consider that the top thing I can say about a story … in less than 15 words. :)
did you hear any Madonna music at the end?
(please say yes, please say yes)
um …. in my head.
Does that count?
:)
In two:
Thumbs Up
“Goggles as a bra?? I’m not sure they make goggles in the correct size. If they do so I will make a bra out of them just for you j0e!”
!!!!!!!
I’ll be in my bunk!
Waaait a minute. Was that Hugh or Dre?
Oh what the heck, at this point in life … mustn’t be choosy.
I’ll be in my bunk!
Jack Mangan… you’ve really got your shit together
“Goggles as a bra?? I’m not sure they make goggles in the correct size. If they do so I will make a bra out of them just for you j0e!”
Oof. Thems’d have to be some itty bitty titties to use goggles as a bra.
… or particularly hefty goggles!
Must download…
I got my freedom back and a laptop. I hope to get back to the podcasting world after 2 years of sh*t! I just have to catch up on my fav shows. I am starting with Dead Pan.
Starting with the best and forgetting the rest?
Thanks for all of the kinds words, guys. ZOMG, it’s Jack Jaffee formerly know as Trucker Overdrive!
