Video from Wednesday’s Live Show

We had a lot of fun Wednesday night. So much fun, in fact, that we couldn’t fit it all onto one video.

The first video has some news, a quick Dragon*Con report, and a song from Kim Fortuner and Patrick McLean, recorded at D*C, with Tim Dodge on guitar.

This second video is the reading of “Swimming Lessons,” by Gabrielle Harbowy, followed by a Q&A led by Chooch.

If you attended, continue being part of the live show by calling the Caern Line. (704) 315-5884. I’ll be playing questions and comments on the next live show.

Tales of the Children Ep. 1 – Swimming Lessons – Gabrielle Harbowy

Tales of the Children – A Land of Caern short story podcast anthology presented by P.G. Holyfield

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.

• 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.

The Land of Caern Vidcast – Ep. 1 – Part 2

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. 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.

MaAH Special Edition: Behind the Scenes – Gabrielle Harbowy, Pt. 1

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.
