I've been thinking about what my next GalaxyBillies story would be ever since I finished the 20-episode original Podcast. I have a couple ideas, but I simply haven't had time to do anything with them. Then, as Christmas began to near I felt more an more that I needed to write a Christmas story. But what? Then it dawned on me that I could do a story with my favorite Galaxy-hopping humans. I hope you enjoy the story. It was fun to write and a real reminder to me of how much work the production is for each episode. I must have been working on some sort of auto-pilot before because, holy cow does it demand time. So, without further ado, Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays and a Happy New Year. And thank you for all of your support over the past year.   -Michell Michell Plested no http://www.michellplested.com/new-books-and-book-reviews/dealing-with-the-dreaded-negative-feedback/?source=rss http://www.michellplested.com/new-books-and-book-reviews/dealing-with-the-dreaded-negative-feedback/#comments Wed, 15 Jun 2011 12:45:25 +0000 galaxybilly@irreverentmuse.com (Michell Plested) http://www.michellplested.com/?p=2111 http://www.michellplested.com/new-books-and-book-reviews/dealing-with-the-dreaded-negative-feedback/feed/ 5 http://www.michellplested.com/galaxybillies/galaxybillies-has-been-accepted-into-podiobooks/?source=rss http://www.michellplested.com/galaxybillies/galaxybillies-has-been-accepted-into-podiobooks/#comments Tue, 04 Jan 2011 04:14:21 +0000 galaxybilly@irreverentmuse.com (Michell Plested) http://www.michellplested.com/?p=1842 http://www.michellplested.com/galaxybillies/galaxybillies-has-been-accepted-into-podiobooks/feed/ 2 http://www.michellplested.com/galaxybillies/galaxybillies-episode-19/?source=rss http://www.michellplested.com/galaxybillies/galaxybillies-episode-19/#comments Sun, 26 Sep 2010 23:29:35 +0000 galaxybilly@irreverentmuse.com (Michell Plested) http://www.michellplested.com/?p=1582 http://www.michellplested.com/galaxybillies/galaxybillies-episode-19/feed/ 3 comedy,Galaxybillies,hillbilly,human,Michell Plested,podcast,podiobooks,science fiction,science fiction comedy,story Well folks, this is the end.

Well folks, this is the end. Now we all have a chance to find out what happens to Earth, Greklor, Grokmar, MegaDan and, of course, the humans themselves. I would like to thank you all for joining me on this journey. It has been both gruelling and extremely rewarding. The next step for the story is to move it over to Podiobooks.com. I'm also going to shelf the story for a few months before I come back and edit it into book form. If I'm lucky, it will see a paper version in the near future. One last thing. I will be making t-shirts available to celebrate GalaxyBillies completion and move to podiobooks. Watch for it in the next two weeks if you are interested. I might even be putting a few more interesting pieces together too. I would also like to invite you to send your comments, feedback and questions to galaxybillies at irreverentmuse dot com or to my voicemail line at 206.203.2031. I'll answer anything you send me. Please take a few moments and let me know what you thought of the story; what you liked and what didn't work for you. That feedback will help me a great deal when I start editing the story. I also have two Facebook groups for GalaxyBillies. Friends of GalaxyBillies and Michell Plested’s GalaxyBillies. I’d love to have you join. Thank you again for joining me on my story journey.

Honest. To do so would make me an overly evil bastard and, as my grandmother might have told you, I am nothing, if not angelic and considerate of everyone's feelings. Now don't you feel better knowing that? :) In this episode we finally find out what has become of Jim Bob and we learn a bit more about Bobby John. We also have a new character show up to make things interesting. A couple things As many of you know, the auction for "The Boom Effect" took place on February 27, 2010 to raise money for a trust fund for Tee Morris' daughter, Sonic Boom. The auction was a HUGE success taking in over $8,000 and I'm very pleased that "GalaxyBillies" was part of that. Our winning bidder for the character spot should show up in the next episode; I've got an idea that I think will really be awesome that I'm working on right now. I'm not going to reveal who the winning bidder is (yet), but I think he'll be great. This does pose a minor problem, however. It may mean a 3-week delay before the next episode of "GalaxyBillies". I beg your patience while I put this together. I also posed the question: "Do you, my listeners, want to be called anything?" For example, Christiana Ellis had "Casey's Cadets" for "Space Casey". If you have ideas/suggestions, send them my way. I know it's been done many, MANY times before, but I think it could be fun. Finally, I need your help. I need comments and feedback, as always (iTunes, the website, email, voicemail), and I also need you to spread the word. I've seen a few of you bring up the podcast on Twitter which I REALLY appreciate. Thank you and keep it up.

GalaxyBillies is the story of five humans who are kidnapped by a semi-sentient starship. If these humans were scientists or engineers it might turn out to be an adventure. Unfortunately, the humans in question hail from the Appalachian mountains and are a little... raw. What could have been adventure turns into something else.

They have been cooped up way too long since being kidnapped by the Grokmar and they are all going a bit stir-crazy. They all decide to split up to do their own things. Betty Sue, Carol Anne and Bobby John go shopping while Jim Bob and Zeke go looking for a night on the town. Five humans who have never left the mountains loose on an alien space station.

Hey Folks, The Earthlings learn a little more about their home on the Grokmar. They come to realize that the ship really doesn't understand them at all. They threaten a hunger strike and the ship reluctantly gives in to their demands: proper food and a place to sleep. The ship adamantly refuses to return them to Earth. It maintains its claim to need them in order to continue its mission... except, it doesn't remember what its mission is. I also have a special offer at the end of the show. This offer is to support the effort being taken to help out Tee Morris in his time of need. Please see the following two URL's for more information about the problem and give some consideration to my offer in support of it. http://www.theboomeffect.org/ http://www.teeandserena.chipin.com Enjoy the show and, as always, if you have any feedback, please leave a voicemail at 206-203-2031 or email me at galaxybilly at irreverentmuse dot com.

Happy Holidays everyone! As a special treat, I am putting the first episode of my new podcast project into the feed. GalaxyBillies is the story of five hillbillies who are kidnapped by a semi-sentient starship. To say they take the universe by storm would be a MAJOR understatement. I was checking my notes a couple days ago when I was finishing the first episode and I realized I first had the story idea almost a year ago. It has taken a while to germinate, but I'm very happy with episode one (numbered episode 0). Have a listen and let me know what you think. If you like it, leave a comment and maybe feedback on iTunes. If you don't, please let me know that too. I thrive on feedback in case you didn't already know it. Enjoy.
