Holyfield: Author and Podcaster http://www.pgholyfield.com/maah 144 144 Murder at Avedon Hill Lord Avedon has a problem. Generations of Avedons have watched over Avedon Hill and controlled the only pass through the Lantis Mountains. Traditions are important to the Avedon family, but one tradition has tragically come to an end. Gretta Platt, Housemistress of Avedon Manor, has been murdered. A member of the Platt family has always served the Avedons as Housemistress-- until now. Only a handful of people live at Avedon Hill, and most are suspects. Arames Kragen, retired Aarronic Advisor and scholar of prophecy, arrives at the gates of Avedon Hill, hoping to gain access to the mountain pass. Lord Avedon is not in a giving mood, however. This is the story of Arames Kragen and his attempt not only to discover who killed Gretta Platt, but also to uncover the truth about a town that apparently has more secrets than inhabitants. podcast, novel, podiobook, fantasy, mystery, murder, religion, magic P.G.

I hope you like it. Of course this causes me to spend more time producing each episode. To give you an idea, this episode took 19 hours to produce:

  • recording – 1.5 hours
  • editing my audio – 8 hours
  • editing and splicing in Tee and MWS’s audio – 3 hours
  • foley work (including searching for certain effects I didn’t have) – 4.5 hours
  • mixing down, listening for errors, uploading, etc. – 2 hours

I’m not whining about time spent. I love doing this. I just wonder sometimes what possessed me to do this as an audio drama instead of as a straight read. :-)

Being a stay at home Dad has a lot of benefits; it also has its drawbacks–namely, the lack of time during the day to get the podcast recorded and edited. To get this episode out I shortened it from two chapters to one, but the good news is that the audio for Episode 3 is already recorded, so it will be out sooner rather than later.
