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.
0:00 – Intro Chatter
- Our first story is “Swimming Lessons” by Gabrielle Harbowy
- Every other Wednesday we’ll be doing a Live Video Reading of a new Tales story over at Stickam.com
- Welcome to the first episode of Tales of the Children!
5:30 – Swimming Lessons – Gabrielle Harbowy
Joren, a craftsman jailed for the suspected use of non-clerical magic, learns what The River of Magic is all about.
24:50 – Outro Chatter
A few updates, and then an addendum because I finished editing two weeks after recording the original outro.
Music in this episode:
Special thanks to Scott Roche for his audio editing help with this episode!

So we enter a new realm with the Murder at Avedon Hill podcast… our first vidcast.
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).
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. 1 (the intro and the reading). Pt. 2 will be released in the feed tomorrow.
For those that want separate feeds for audio and video, that is coming soon, along with a site redesign.

The President of the United States is dead. He was murdered in the morning sunlight by a four year-old boy.
With those first two sentences, J.C. Hutchins announced his arrival to the world of podcast fiction. And on October 27, 2009, 7th Son: Descent hits bookstore shelves and on Amazon.com.
Go here to read more about 7th Son: Descent.
This is the one I’ve been waiting for… I love Scott Sigler’s books, and J.C.’s first book with Jordan Weisman, Personal Effects: Dark Art was a lot of fun, but 7th Son redefined storytelling for me, and on a weekly basis it made me want to be a better writer.
And finally, if it wasn’t for J.C. I don’t think I would have podcast Murder at Avedon Hill. So learn about 7th Son if you haven’t given it a try. And if you enjoyed his podcast and want something to read while I’m editing Murder at Avedon Hill, BUY THIS BOOK.
And actually, if you haven’t listened to 7th Son: Descent, J.C. has started releasing the new version of the 7th Son: Descent podcast (based on the print version of the novel).

Today we have our next “Behind the Scenes” episode leading up to the print release of Murder at Avedon Hill. This is Pt.1 of my interview with Gabrielle Harbowy, my editor with Dragon Moon Press. Gabrielle was also the author of the first Tales of the Children story, “Swimming Lessons.”
Excuse the low sound quality of this episode. We recorded in a room at the Atlanta Hilton during Dragon*Con and there was a lot of noise that didn’t clean up very well. But it is listenable, and the interview itself turned out great.
Part 2 of the interview will be released on Monday.
Enjoy!
Promo – This new podcast called 7th Son: Descent. I hear it’s okay.
