On September 3 of this year -- that's 2009, I don't get here very often -- the Science Fiction podcast site "Escape Pod" will be 'casting a story by Eugie Foster the title of which, SINNER, BAKER, FABULIST, PRIEST; RED MASK, BLACK MASK, GENTLEMAN, BEAST, is a real tweak. I love long titles. You may have noticed.Ah. I'm narrating the thing. That's the point of this post. The story is dark, lush, richly evocative and gives me lots of nifty characters to fuss with. Love it. It's also a great story! Did I forget that in the rush to talk about my small part in bringing it to you? It is. It makes me want to read a lot more of Ms. Foster's work.
As a sidebar, I'm preparing another one of my stories for the British podcast site, www.starshipsoft.com Not sure when that'll be.
So. What the hell do these pictures have to do with Eugie, Escape Pod, Starship Sofa, et al?
Nothing. These are resonance photos. They get me vibrating in sync with memories, they help the past get all harmonic with the present.
So, finally, to let everyone know: the new book is at about the one-quarter point in it's coming-about. As of now, the title is "Love." It won't stay that short for long. The pictures on this post are from one very real location that's been hanging in my head for years and which features prominently in the book.
The book is about becoming a human being. It's about the horrors of becoming a real live person. It's about the terrors we ditch in that time when it first dawns on us that we're alive and just before the corollary to all that joy smacks us in the face.

Hey, I just read that story by Eugie last week. Indeed a fantastic one. I'm looking forward to your narration. I'm sure it will enhance the story's creepiness! :-)
I just listened to the Escape Pod episode, and -- my word. Your narration is stunning. You have a marvellous, mahogany voice and such passion and emotion in every word: it took a story that I would have skimmed over or ignored in text form and turned it into a narrative that absolutely gripped me.
Please, please, read more stories out loud.
Jack, thank you for the very kind words. I don't know. The story itself, silent, on the page, sort of rumbles the gut.
Diane...hope you've had a chance to listen... Hope you like it.

Why, oh why!? I have to identify my own-damn self every time I try to leave a comment or log into my site!
Your narration of last week's Escape Pod story was nothing short of fabulous. Thank you, sir, for such an exciting read.
I listen to an amazing amount of audio fiction, as I'm the co-founder of Podiobooks.com. It's with a keen ear when I tell you how exceptional your ability to convey a story in audio truly is.
I hope to hear more from you in the future.

Evo,
Thanks for the comment. I've got a lot of my work, self-read, over at StarShipSofa.com Stop by and browse. I begin at about episode 40.
Again, thanks for the comment.

Loved your reading at EscapePod. Eugie is a fantastic author and I look forward to learning more about you as well. Starshipsofa, here I come!
Thanks, Erich. I hope you like some of my stories on StarShipSofa!
Hi Larry
Count me as another person who really enjoyed your narration. The raw emotion in the scene where the main character is skinned alive was something else.
I'll definitely be checking out your StarShipsofa stuff
