I got a great early birthday present this weekend, my contributor copy of Zombonauts: Undead in Space! This is a fantastic Library of the Living Dead production, combining Zombies and Science fiction. That right.
Zombies. In Space!
My meagre contribution is a little tale called “Firebird”, but there are 30 OTHER stories in this anthology. 31 Zombie stories.
Excuse me, 31 ZOMBIES IN SPACE stories!
You can pick it up from the fine people at Amazon, if you are into that sort of thing. It’s a seriously fantastic, twisted grouping that I think a lot of people will enjoy. If you have read it, let me know what you think!
Hey Tricksters,
So, last night I had insomnia. I came up with a rough outline for another adventure staring Coyote and Anansi, just in time for Halloween.
Today, at 7:00PM I started to write it. 3500 words, one quick edit and a conversion to PDF, here it is almost 11:00, and I’m ready to roll it out.
It’s [...]
Hey Tricksters, in case you missed it, or couldn’t bother to scroll down to read the next post, the awesome folks at Podioracket have decided that I am interesting enough to talk to for an hour! Don’t know where they got that idea from!
I’ll be talking about Lost Gods, White Trash Land, my next endevor, [...]
I forgot to mention in my last post, but I have selected the winners of both the Name the Fans of Lost Gods, and the Spread the Word Contests. I will announce the 4 winners on September 24th.
Why September 24th, you ask? Well that is the date I will be interviewed live by the good [...]

Hey Tricksters,
As any regular reader of this blog must know, I have nothing but love for my fellow Torontonian podiobook author James Melzer, but I’m starting to get worried about him. I just got sent some weird footage, like he’s having a breakdown or something. It’s hard to describe – just watch it for yourself:
Hey Tricksters,
As most of you know, I am on twitter as @drewbeatty, if you don’t follow me yet,please feel free to do so.
I have constantly been amazed at the level of communication and involvement that goes on there. I had an idea to extend my twitter community into the upcoming print edition of Lost Gods. [...]
I have been playing around with a map of the locations of Lost Gods. For those of you curious about Toronto, here it is.
I will probably add a few more things to it in the future, but here are the main locations.

For the direct link, which is a littler [...]
Christiana Ellis is an amazing and hilarious author and podcaster who has been giving the world free stuff for years now. One of her earlier works, Nina Kimberly the Merciless, is going to be available from Dragon Moon Press tomorrow. That’s Friday May 15th for you time sensitive people.
She’s released it as a podcast, [...]
Seth Harwood’s “Jack Wakes Up” has been described by Michael Connelly as “…a fast, smooth ride on a highway not found on any map.” . Today is more than May 5th, it’s Cinco de Harwood, the re-release of “Jack Wakes Up”. Not only has Harwood been giving away his books for free as podiobooks for [...]
Hello Tricksters,
This is it. This is the last episode of Lost Gods. It’s over, it’s done. Thank you so much for taking this journey with me, listening, commenting and everything. Thanks to everyone who helped in any way, spread the word, did a Story So Far, Tweeted, whatever. Thank you. The community around Podiobooks rocks, [...]
Hey Tricksters,
Sorry I missed posting last night, just forgot. So, here is something to make your Monday morning that much better, the PDF of Lost Gods chapter 20! As always, I hope you enjoy the adventures of Anansi and Coyote.
Hello Tricksters,
Here we are with the penultimate episode of Lost Gods.This is almost it. What a freaking ride. Wow.
So, if the voices seem a little off in this episode, I had strep throat on the weekend. I wasn’t even sure if I was going to make it. But I really want to stay on track, [...]
Hey Tricksters,
I hope you are all having a great spring. As for me, well I am sick with the worst sore throat in the history of time! I hope it clears up in time for me to record episode 20 (lesson 123430 of doing this podcast – record EVERYTHING before you launch. Then it is [...]
Hello Tricksters,
Here we are with the penultimate to the penultimate episode of Lost Gods. I am already getting prepared to miss doing it!
The story so far for this episode was done by Phillipa Ballantine, who has some amazing news!
From her web site:
Yes, I have just confirmed that I will in fact be an Ace Books [...]
Hello Tricksters,
Well, what can I say, Not only am I on time, I am about 30 minutes early! Rock ON! I think it is because I am fueld by margaritas tonight! I usually don’t drink at all, so this is pretty nutty.
Seems like lots of cool things going on in the Podiosphere these days. J.C. [...]
Hey Tricksters,
It’s a quiet Saturday night, my boys are sleeping and my wife is out shopping, so I am going to release the PDF one day early.
I know, Captain Latepants (AKA Latey McLates-A-Lot) is actually going to get something done ahead of schedule. Amazing.
Don’t forget, there are 3 weeks left in the “Spread the Word [...]
Hello Tricksters,
Well, I am almost on schedule. I would like to share my intence (very intense, so intense I spell it wrong) annoyance with Audacity right now. Crashy Mc Crashy.
Anyhow, I’m almost late for work, so without any further ado, chapter 17!

Hello Tricksters,
Finally it has happened. After years of waiting and wondering when they would catch up with me, I have been comitted to the Brink. I finally snapped after working on this freaking episode for so long (as of this writing it is currently crashing Audacity every time I try to edit it, so we [...]
Hey Tricksters,
Yes, there should be a new episode today. Yes, it is March Break, and I am a teacher and therefore off so I should have nothing but time.
But, I accidentally deleted the episode. Not just deleted it, formatted the SD card it was on.
See, the thing is, my in-laws are visiting, and March Break [...]
Hey Tricksters,
Sorry I missed the update of the PDF yesterday, it was the most beautiful day in Toronto in a while, so we spent the day outside, Picnic, Park, Parade… Just a great day.
Here is the PDF for chapter 15, go nuts!
Hello Tricksters,
Once again I am sick, so I don’t have much to say. I hope you are all doing well. Next week I promise I will have lots of excitement! Or not.
Later!

I hope you are enjoying the start of spring, unless you are in the southern hemisphere! Not much to talk about today, I hope you are enjoying the story, and I will post the next audio episode Thursday!
Hello Tricksters,
Not much to report this week. Make sure you check out this weeks Horror Addicts, because yours truly supplied the story!
But now, for this weeks Lost Gods!

So, if any of you people were wondering what podcast geeks do in their spare [...]

Some cool things this week, I hope you have all checked out the contest announcement! You can get your hands on a one of a kind print edition of Lost Gods, just by linking here! What could be easier?
Nothing, that’s what.
Also, just for fun, I have created a cafe press store for Lost Gods. [...]
Hello Tricksters!
So, as you might have noticed by now, I do not have a huge marketing team behind me. In fact, the marketing team consists of me, which is difficult. I could use some help.
I’d love some help spreading the word about Lost Gods, and so, I am having another contest. It’s pretty simple, really. If you [...]
Hello all,
So, you might have noticed that Lost Gods was not released last week – sorry about the lack of update, but a three day headache, my birthday, a lot of holidays and activity days and things like that just knocked me out of the loop. But, I have some great news for this week!
Firstly, [...]
The most exciting thing around here today (other than the new chapter, of course) is that the schedule for Podcamp Toronto is up! If you are going to be in the Toronto area on February 21 and 22, you should check it out!
And now, to this weeks chapter!
Hey everyone!
So, with only a couple of weeks until Podcamp Toronto, I hear about another amazingly cool unconference, BookCamp Toronto! It will be all about the future of books, publishing and all the change and upheaval in the industry right now. It looks like it will be an amazing time, and I know all the [...]
For those of you not watching the football game, here is Lost Gods Chapter 10, in PFD form. I would like to thank everybody who has voted in the “What should I call the listeners of Lost Gods?” poll, it has been great fun tracking that. I will announce the winning name next week, with [...]
Hey people! So much to write about, I don’t even know where to start. I will start with some good news for fellow podcaster James Melzer, who just got nominated for a Dead Letter Award! Check out all the details at his blog @ www.jamesmelzer.net! Or just go straight to the ballot @ http://improbabilia.com. Also, [...]
It’s that time. Time for you to make your voice be heard. Time to heed the call to action, and believe that, yes we can. We can be called something other than “Listeners of Lost Gods.”
Yes We Can! And I totally made up that slogan all by myself and I have never heard it in [...]
So, two days late with the audio, one day early with the PDF!! Jump right in, all you reader types!
Seriously, I love that some of you read the story – as much as I love doing the podcast, it’s a great treat to share this in a written form as well.
The poll will be up [...]
What can I say, Saturday is the new Thursday. Got behind, sorry. Hope you enjoy. I’ll try to get the PDF up tomorrow as regularly scheduled. And have the Name the Lost Gods Listeners poll up very soon as well.
Oh, and sorry, I seem to be having some troubles figuring out what numbers my chapters [...]
Feeling more sleep deprived than witty today, people, and I am seriously getting honked off about the amount of snow that is falling on Toronto these days. Meteorologists, when you predict a “drier than average” winter, some people might actually think that means “less than a meter of snow falling every freaking week”. Just saying.
I [...]
Happy Thursday everyone (or at least everyone who is reading this on, you know, a Thursday). Once again, it is time for another exciting episode of Lost Gods.
I have been getting emails, comments and Twits about the contest – some great ideas so far, keep them coming! I will hold a poll in February so [...]
Okay, so I might not actually need that many exclamation marks to announce this contest, but when you are the little guy, you generate excitement however you can, even with the shameless misuse of our poor punctuation marks.
Here is the deal. I’m starting to get a bit of a following here, people are checking out [...]
If it’s Sunday, it must be time for the weekly PDF of Lost Gods! Our heroes are in the thick of it, now. When last we saw him, Anansi was plummeting to his death from the top of his apartment building after being attacked by fairies! Will he find some way to survive, or have [...]
Hey people, hope you are all doing well. Here is Lost Gods chapter 7.
I would like to give a special shout out to Greg Crites, who answered a Twitter plea for help and made up a nifty Story So Far in an amazingly short time. Thanks Greg!
The promo this week is for some dude called [...]
Welcome to 2009, it’s beginning to feel a little bit sci-fi around here these days. It seems like just yesterday we were all consumed with millennial angst and worries about Y2K, now were are almost at 2010!
I hope you all had an amazing holiday season, regardless of what you celebrate, if you celebrate at all. [...]
Hey everyone, lots and lots of great news here at Lost Gods headquarters this week. First up, Lost Gods is now on Podiobooks.com (yeah!).
Even better, Lost Gods has been the Number One book at Podiobooks.com for the past 2 days. Sigler and Morris were number 2 and 3. Pretty good company to keep.
In this episode [...]
A day late and a dollar short. Missed posting yesterday, sorry about that. I am now officially on holiday mode! Also, I rented Spider-Man, Web of Shadows for the Wii, and got a little wrapped up in it!
So, now that my forearm is all sore from to much swinging through New York, I am free [...]
Just when you though it was safe to go back in the bookstore, when you thought the dread menace of the Future Dark Overlord had passed, he rears his triumphant head, ready once again to infect your soul with visions so terrifying, you will never, ever be able to use chicken scissors again.
Ever.
Sigler’s back. Rejoice [...]
Welcome to episode Four of Lost Gods. I am thrilled to say that Matthew Wayne Selznick was able to overcome horrific hard drive related hardships and is the guest Story So Far-er for the week.
I’m actually not sure if Story So Far-er is the official title, I will have to look into that.
In other news, [...]
Hello all! I hope you have been having a great December. We have been busy busy busy, so I was worried that I would not get this done in time!
Here is Lost Gods, Chapter Three, for your reading enjoyment. I hope.
Remember, this is all Creative Commons, so if you want to print this out, [...]
Welcome to episode Three of Lost Gods. In this episode, Steve “Snowball” Saylor, the first albino of podcasting, attempts to break a Story So Far Record. Also, I get sick. I believe Anansi and Coyote do some things as well. I suppose I will have to listen as well!
Thanks to everyone how has commented or [...]
