HEAR: Marked Men (1 of 3)
A stowaway on a train, running from something horrible, falls into the hands of evil men. Soon, innocent lives will be lost as human monsters will face something ancient, powerful... and hungry.
Hey, folks. This is a little different from my usual science fiction stomping grounds, but I think it hits all the hallmarks of my stories. 'Marked Men' was the third story I ever sold to be published. It was in the DAW anthology 'Slipstreams way back in 2007. IIRC. It's also the story that launched Season One of the Serving Worlds Podcast.
I'm prepping my next novel, and it's not science fiction. It's...um... urban military portal fantasy, I suppose? A unique take, let's say! Anyhow, all that new work has got me using creative muscles that remind me of some of the fantasy stories in my past...like this one!
Also, prior to the launch of that podcast I've been renovating the podcast feed, revamping this members-only feed (now using a ghost backend) to sync with my Patreon supporters' page. I'm doing it in an effort to make things clean, tidy and fun for you to BINGE stuff 😄
So why not start with a few fantasy stories, lightly edited for sound quality and such, before launching my new big bad this summer?
OK, time for Part 1: I've cleaned up the audio since the early days of podcasting but forgive me if it's not 2024 quality!
