Wednesday, 10/8 at 9pm – Online Vid Tribute from The Beyond the Wall crew:

On Wednesday, October 8th, 2014 at 9pm Eastern, the Beyond the Wall crew will be recording a live podcast show in which we will bid farewell to our good friend, P.G. Holyfield.

There is also an in-person gathering and a Memorial Service occurring on Oct 11th and 12th, respectively.

If you would like to attend one or both of those events, please check the links on this post at SpecFicMedia.com.

Of course, we understand that not everyone will be able to attend in person.

For so many, these podcasts are how they knew him.

So, the show on Wednesday the 8th will be a way for us, and for you, to express your feelings about this man, who brought so many people together.

We on the crew will be sharing our feelings and memories, but, we would also like to hear from you. If you have words, audio or video that you would like to share, please email it to us at BTW@SpecFicMedia.com.

Even if you have already sent something, please re-send it if you would like it to appear on this show. If you would like to send something that is just for family or any other private audience, please indicate this in your email.

And of course, if you are reading this too late or are just unable to put your feelings together before we record, please send anyways.

Also, please help us boost the signal, both for this announcement and the show event links that will follow, so that everyone that would like to can participate.

P.G. Holyfield founded a great community at SpecFicMedia, but now his watch has ended.

Our watch continues and so we will carry on our sacred duty, which is to talk about things we love – and people that we love – with all of you.

Thank you, from your friends at SpecFicMedia.com.

Saturday: A Casual Gathering and A Celebration of Life in Honor of Patrick G. Holyfield

October 11th from 6 pm – 10 pm – Come and go as you are available

Flying Saucer in Charlotte, NC
9605 N Tryon St Suite A, Charlotte, North Carolina 28262

Chooch and I will be hosting an informal gathering in Charlotte on Saturday, October 11th, at The Flying Saucer. It’s a craft brew honoring restaurant, that we’ve enjoyed with P.G. in the past.

The official time is from 6 – 8 pm, when we are guaranteed use of the private room. If our numbers dwindle, we may move to a large table or we may be allowed to stay in the private room. They have been wonderfully accommodating and will do their best for us.

There will be self-pay dining and libation offerings in mid-price range

A brief video of memories from Chooch and I including some favorite Con(vention) Family will be available for viewing at any time. Otherwise, come as you are able as you arrive from other destinations or to spend the time together. We hope to highlight P.G., our friendship, and shared world with him in the podcasting and convention realms.

This will be a celebration of life, his life, and our con family experiences with him, but also a place for those that wish for grieving and remembrance, as well.

If you have ideas for this celebration of his life, please make pledges of time or assistance, please send to BTW@SpecFicMedia.com.

If you have pix or vid clips you love of PG, please send to BTW@SpecFicMedia.com, for possible inclusion in the video we are hoping to complete. (Time constraints.)

Also, if you are local and available to assist, please let me know at the above email to coordinate with needs for this unexpected gathering/weekend.

Sunday: The Memorial Service in honor of Patrick G. Holyfield

Sunday, at 12pm – Embassy Suites Banquet Room located at 4800 S. Tryon St (near Charlotte Douglas Airport–they will have shuttle service).

Please forward any written sentiments, photos, audio or video you would like to make a part of my tribute to me (Kim AKA The Trustee) at kim@pghct.org.

Thank you so much for your thoughts and contributions. I truly look forward to seeing or hearing from all of you, either next week or in the future.

Kim

Throughout his life, Patrick has loved sports and speculative fiction in all its forms. He grew up in Virginia and studied Religious Studies at the University of Virginia where he graduated in 1990. His degree allowed him as an author to create rich worlds with nuanced belief systems.

Professionally known as P.G. Holyfield, he authored “Murder At Avedon Hill” and numerous short stories. He received the John W. Polidori Award for Best Vampire Novel of 2010 and Best Fantasy Novel at the 2010 Foreword Book of the Year Awards.

P.G was also a well known podcaster, video producer, and voice actor. His latest works included “Beyond the Wall” and “SpecFicMedia.com Presents: Consumption”.

While Patrick is best known for fiction and media work, the three creations he was most proud of were his daughters Kayla, Samantha, and Alexis. He is survived by his children, his parents Mary Jo Holyfield, Ron Holyfield, step mother Kay Williams Holyfield, his brother Mark Holyfield and sister-in-law Joan Holyfield, nephews Hunter and Austin Holyfield, aunt Darla Gail Holyfield, and his beloved Kim Herrick.

He will be missed by all, but through his creative works will live on; “You can’t stop the signal.”

A memorial service will be held at a later date.

Please consider donating to the Patrick G. Holyfield Childrens Trust via the badge below.

This panel also featured the diverse talents of: Tom Merritt (Sword and Laser, Tech News Today), Veronica Belmont (Qore, Sword and Laser), Len Peralta (Jawbone Radio, Geek a Week), Brian Ibbott (Coverville) and Bobby Blackwolf (The Bobby Blackwolf Show).

And on a personal note: the site recently went over 1,000,000 file downloads since I started releasing content in 2006. Thanks to everyone that has been on board since the beginning, and to those that have joined us along the way. The ride has been wonderful, and we’re really just getting started.

Enjoy!

Promo for The Leviathan Chronicles finale follows the reading.

On March 23, 1775, at St. John’s Henrico Parish Church in Richmond, Patrick Henry spoke to the House of Burgesses. His speech changed the minds and hearts of the Commonwealth of Virginia, and became a beacon of freedom for all of America.

Happy Independence Day, everyone.

Thank you to Nathan Lowell for his introduction at the beginning of this audio file. Be sure to check out his Golden Age of the Solar Clipper novels over at Podiobooks.com.

The image is a cropped image from Peter F. Rothermel’s “Patrick Henry Before the Virginia House of Burgesses,” from 1851. The photograph of this painting is released on Wikimedia Commons as a public domain work.

We talked about storytelling within the medium of ‘sequential art,’ Writing Excuses, pacing within different mediums, and a little about the talk Howard gave at Balticon on education and on becoming a better creator, no matter the medium.

Thanks to Howard for being patient with someone that obviously had less than a good grasp of web-comic terminology (I referred to panels as boxes throughout the interview ).

Promo at the end of the episode is for Prisoners of the Alliance.

Into the Blender is a podcast about blended families, geek culture, and it is a wonderful listen month in and month out. Go check it out!

Are your friends confused about the Amazon Rush?

Can you tell I’m just writing text here so the image below will appear underneath the thumbnail image, and not be pushed out to the right and off the screen?

The attached flyer explains what we’re trying to do on Saturday. Please grab it, post it and/or send it to everyone you can. Spread the word!

The link to Amazon is live. The book CAN be purchased now. But if you can, please wait until Saturday at noon Eastern to buy the ten copies you plan on purchasing.

Tonight, as we approach the book launch of Murder at Avedon Hill, we have a Tales of the Children story written and produced by Dan Absalonson. A few weeks ago Dan asked if he could produce the audio for his own podcast, and knowing I wouldn’t be getting to his story for several months, I said “Go for it!” For a first audio podcast episode, Dan did a wonderful job with the production. Big Axe, Little Hands is a fun story about one of the smaller races of Caern, and an incarnation of one of the Children of Az we haven’t seen in audio form thus far.

I hope you enjoy the story, and check back later today for the release of an interview I did with Jack Mangan over at his Deadpan Podcast.

• Short intro of Dan Abaslonson’s short story, Big Axe, Small Hands.

Join Halvard the Halfling as he journeys to find the way of the warrior, running into trouble along the way, and meeting races he’s only heard tell of in the story told around the community fire in his small village.

My good friend Patrick McLean over at The Seanachai (How to Succeed in Evil, Flinchy and the Mexican Show Truck) is doing his last episode of his podcast live on Stickam (link to the show will be posted as soon as I get it). The live show will be on Wednesday, March 24, at 9:00 pm Eastern time.

As a good Irishman (at least a 1/4 of me, anyways), I’ll be helping him bring The Seanachai to a fitting end. He’ll be sharing a true story of gun play, injury, and I’m sure he will deliver it with the humor and style that has made The Seanachai one of the best fiction/essay podcasts ever produced.

Join us for the fun.

• a signed copy of Murder at Avedon Hill (when it is released in May)
• a custom t-shirt with one of the Children of Az on the front, and whatever text you’d like (approved by me, of course ) on the back.

Before I go any further, it must be said/written. I’m not happy with this episode. The story is top notch; the reading is solid; good use of music and effects. The issue is with the audio quality of the reading. I made a rookie mistake (which I won’t detail here) that affected the final output file. Whew… I feel better. Let’s get back to the show.

To make the video a little more fun, especially since Patrick’s story was a bit of a comedy, I’ve added some pop-up elements that hopefully add some humor to the video, and it also helps those watching the video understand what was going on in the Stickam chat room before the reading and during the Q&A.

This video is Pt. 2 (the Q&A). I tried to include something for everyone in this video. Give it a watch and see what I mean.

For those that want separate feeds for audio and video, that is coming soon, along with a site redesign.

On October 7th Patrick McLean and I did a live reading of his Tales of the Children short story, “The Old God and the Sea.” After the reading we did a Q&A with Chooch (Chooch was on skype).

This video is Pt. 1 (the intro and the reading). Pt. 2 will be released in the feed tomorrow.

Here we are once again. While I did meet my 9/09/09 start date for Tales of the Children (a live reading of this same story on Stickam), it did take me until now to finish the audio production of that same episode. At least you know what you get with me. Late, but hopefully worth it.

Christof is a world traveler, a former finance expert, a Highlander fan, a production whore… and his commitment to his audio drama, in terms of both time and money, is awe-inspiring.

Jack Wakes Up Cover

“Jack Wakes Up rocks! It’s a fast, smooth ride on a highway not found on any map.” — Michael Connelly, #1 New York Times bestselling author

“Readers who like their hard-boiled crime fiction violent and gritty will cheer Harwood’s debut — taut prose and fast pacing bode well for future entries in the series.” — Publisher’s Weekly

Seth and I talk about his podcast novels, his journey to having Jack Wakes Up published (twice), his former job on the floor of the stock market in NYC, his teaching career, Author Bootcamp, HotTub Cast… and much much more!

Enjoy, and look for my first of four interviews with the other Parsec finalists in the category of Best Audio Drama Long Form, posting tomorrow.

Music in this podcast episode: Celtic Impulse, Kevin McLeod, Incompetech.com

From the Parsec Awards website:

The Parsec Awards are dedicated to rewarding excellence in various aspects of Speculative Fiction Podcasting. The Parsec Award is available for Sci-fi & Fantasy Original Content, podiobooks and a variety of other categories dealing with the new frontiers of Portable Media. The 4th annual Parsec Awards will be held at the Dragon*con convention held September 4 through September 7, 2009.

Before I started this project I attended the first Parsec Awards at D*C in 2006. From that moment it became one of my goals… to one day be a Parsec Awards finalist.  To have MaAH as a finalist in the Audio Drama category is a great validation of the hard work that I and so many other people put into this podcast.

Thanks to the fans that nominated Murder at Avedon Hill in the first place, and thanks to the awards committee and others that felt MaAH belonged on the short list of podcasts in this category. The other nominees:

• Amazing Pulp Adventures Starring Mr. Adventure
• The Metamor City Podcast – Making the Cut
• The Leviathan Chronicles
• Mur Lafferty’s The Takeover

As you know I love Chris Lester’s work on the MCP podcast (damn him), and Rich Sigfrit, the driving force behind Mr. Adventure, played two roles in MaAH (Herrjarr and Kell). Mr. Adventure is a lot of fun and you should check it out.

And Mur… she is simply the best.

The only nominee I am not familiar with is The Leviathan Chronicles (other than their great promo I believe I played on my podcast). But if nothing else, check out their website. It’s frakkin’ awesome! I’ll be listening to it before D*C, to be sure.

A lot of my friends in the podcasting world are Parsec finalists this year as well. Too many to list here, but I’m really looking forward to the ceremony to see who wins!

In the next few weeks I’ll be adding audio content in the feed. Interviews mostly, with Patrick McLean, Seth Harwood, and my editor, Gabrielle Harbowy. I also plan on contacting all of my fellow nominees for something prior to September.

Thanks again, people!!

But more importantly, we talk about the next fiction podcast project I’ll be working on, called Tales of the Children.

It’s going to be a lot of fun… with a lot of great friends coming along for the ride!

Three more to go! Thanks for everything!

UPDATE: People are receiving multiple copies of this episode. We have identified the issue and are taking steps to fix it. Thanks for your patience!

One thing I finished recently that I’ve been working on here and there for over a year is a video promo. I can do a few things in Flash but nothing I was putting together for MaAH was appealing to me. Enter the website Animoto.com. With animoto you upload your photos, drawings, etc., add text, add music, and then it spits out a video for you. The only drawback is you have no real control over the transitions used, so your only recourse if you don’t like how something looks is to re-render the whole thing and see if it turns out the way you want it.

After a lot of tries I came up with the video you see here.  If you like it, please embed it, promote it, put the file on your site or in your podcast feed, etc. I’d be honored.

If you want to embed it, please let me know and I’ll send you the code. If you don’t want to email me, I have a version of the video on youtube that you can grab, but the video doesn’t look as good on youtube (you can make the video look better when embedding though by changing the resolution of the video).

This is the first time I’m placing a video in my feed. Hopefully no one will have issues.

Patrick McLean released Pt. 4 of “Flinchy and the Mexican Show Truck” over on The Seanachai. This is the last episode of ‘season’ 1. Season 2 is already in the works (probably out no earlier than the end of February).

I don’t want to clutter this feed with more non-MaAH episodes right now, so please head on over and give all four episodes a listen on Patrick’s site, or subscribe to The Seanachai. It is one of the best podcasts in production today, so you might as well give it a try!

Patrick McLean released Pt. 3 of “Flinchy and the Mexican Show Truck” over on The Seanachai. In all honesty, this is the best of the three episodes so far… in the zone
