Hello Everyone!

Here’s hoping you’re a little dryer than I currently am. Well, actually, I myself am under a roof that is not (currently) leaking, so I guess I’m technically “dry,” but once again it’s so damp here that paper curls and the floors become sticky if I don’t keep my windows shut and run my air purifiers constantly. When are we going to have a nice drought, that’s what I want to know.

Anyway, as promised, I’ve got questions and requests for YOU, dear readers! I think I’ll start with the request.

Next week is the official launch date of “The Shadowy Man,” when I’ll be holding a big blow-out free giveaway of it. But the book is already up on Amazon in order to give me time to get the book page set up (a surprisingly challenging process) and to, hopefully, get a few reviews up. So if you got an ARC of “The Shadowy Man” and feel moved to leave a review, now would be an awesome time to do so! It’s a very simple and quick process: you just go to the book’s page on Amazon (here), scroll down to “Review this product,” and leave your review. They don’t have to be long at all–a sentence or two is fine. So in five minutes or less you can make an author’s day!

Once again, the story’s universal Amazon link is here.

And now for the question! I’ve recently started experimenting with podcasting my stories under my other pen name (you can check it out on SoundCloud and iTunes if you feel so inclined). At the moment I’m still in the tearing-my-hair-out stage of trying to make the tech work, but that’s how it goes. After many hours of frustration, I have managed to get some semi-listenable episodes up, and I enjoyed the process so much I’ve been thinking of podcasting some of my E.P. Clark stories as well.

So what do you think? How many of you listen to podcasts and audiobooks? I know they’re growing rapidly in popularity, and they’re perfect for commuting or doing chores. Anyone have any favorite “podiobooks” that they listen to?

And now for this week’s selection of giveaways!
