I’ll warn everyone now, it is very, very, Rated R.

This will be my second read for Escape Artists. Got to read “On Bookstores, Burners, and Origami” for PodCastle awhile back. Stay tuned for updates.

Not nearly as painful as I first thought it would be. Still has some rough edges to work out, but by-and-large I’m happy with the result. I’ve been wanting a full-on “Book” styled theme and, being unable to find one out there, decided to make my own.

I’ll decide later if I want to post the package on the WordPress.org site for others to use. I kind of like being unique.

If you haven’t listened to the first set yet, check them out here.

I should have new stuff coming from various podcasts. Should be fun.

“Shadowmagic” and it’s sequel “A Prince of Hazel & Oak” are two books in the same vein.

The stories revolve around Conor, a seventeen-year-old boy from Scranton who is pulled into the mythical world of Celtic legend, Tir-na-Nog. The adventures are fun, but what’s truly entertaining is Conor’s modern American sensibilities in this archaic world. It’s funny and poignant all at the same time.

He still has all the things we expect of a teenager, needs his parents, wants to impress them, bu also wants to stand on his own. Conor makes mistakes, some big, some small, but they stem from his inexperience, not trite emotional outbursts or stupidity. He’s a fish out of water and is doing the best he can.

Something, I think, we can all empathize with.

So, long story short (too late!) go grab the newest book by John Lenahan, “A Prince of Hazel and Oak.” If you haven’t picked up “Shadowmagic” yet, do it first and then get the sequel. He’s promised a third (and it sounds like final) book to the series. Get writing John!

1. Brooks has done an excellent job on the exposition. Normally, this stuff annoys me, but I really do need it this time and he’s easing me back in.
2. Dick Hill’s reading is fantastic. So “storyteller”-like that it draws you in quickly and leaves you enjoying every phrase.

I’m only on Disc 2, so I’m just getting underway, but I forget the polish and professionalism that is commercial audiobooks.

Again, still love Podiobooks, but we have a ways to go before we match some of the professional folks.

That said, I can’t wait to read the next book from Nathan’s fertile mind. I highly recommend these books. I’m always enthralled by smart people overcoming obstacles and crises.

Well done Nathan! Keep up the good work!

They’re experiencing “growing pains” and their server costs have just doubled! It’s a tough time, but it’s a good thing. The increased traffic means they’re getting more popular, but with the load comes a price.
