Hi, I’m P.G. Holyfield. I am a podcaster and wrote a novel called Murder at Avedon Hill. I produced an audio version of an early draft of the novel from 2007-2009, which you can find on iTunes and over at podiobooks.com. If you do not use iTunes or some other ‘podcatcher,’ and would like to just download the audio files  from here (or listen to them directly on this site), here is the best place to start.

If you are interested in the novel, you can read the first few chapters of the novel here, and you can find print and kindle versions of the novel on Amazon.com

After I finished the podcast of the novel, I started producing a short story anthology called Tales of the Children, based in the ‘world’ where Murder at Avedon Hill takes place. These are stories written mostly by other authors, and I will return to that podcast at some point… soon. What was fun about this anthology was it allowed me to delve into video as well. I did live readings of the stories through stickam.com, then followed with podcasted audio versions of the stories. You can find more information on this short story anthology here.

Currently I am one of the hosts of the Beyond the Wall, a Game of Thrones related podcast where we talk about the HBO series and the books by George R.R. Martin. I am a frequent guest at conventions such as Balticon and Dragon*Con, where I am usually on panels around new media, podcasting, and self-promotion.

I live in Charlotte, NC  and have given talks on self-promotion, self-publishing and working with a small publisher, both at local venues and at regional conventions. If you are interested in this or for any other reason, please email me at pgholyfield at gmail dot com

My interview with Dave and Brion is up on the site now and the workshop episode should be released in the next day or so. I hope you enjoy it!

If you have a podcast, a blog, or even just friends that you’d like to share info about Murder at Avedon Hill with, please send me an email (pgholyfield at murderatavedonhill dot com) or ping me on Twitter @pgholyfield. I’m setting up interviews and will send out promotional materials to anyone that might want them.

An audio update will be released in the next couple of days about this, and about a contest I’ll be doing for those purchasing the novel day 1.

This is actually happening! Woo Hoo! (wait, I’m supposed to be the reserved author… ).

Thanks for your continued support…. (yay!)

Well, hopefully you understand why I’m excited.

It feels more real every day. Thanks for coming by to see the cover, and get ready for the push… you’re going to be flooded with content over the next two months.

I’ll be interviewing Alex again as we approach the book’s release, to talk with him about the process we went through, and also about his own journey finishing up The Gearheart.

Caern Vocabulary

• cyke – unit of time. There are 20 cykes in a day.
• lunas – unit of time. There are forty days in one lunas. A year is made up of ten lunas. Lunas is used as both singular and plural.
• Caern has a 40 day lunar month. The year is 400 days. Once every six years the Caern calendar adds an additional day, called the Festival of Tears (named for the tears Az shed creating his ten Children). There are ten months in the year, called lunas. There are four seasons, each lasting 100 days.

04:20 – Prologue: Gretta

We are introduced to Gretta Platt, Housemistress of Avedon Manor. Don’t get too used to her. Remember the title of the novel?

13:58 – Chapter One: Arrival

We are introduced to Arames Kragen, monk and former Aarronic Advisor, and his student, Arrin Perti. Our two heroes have reached Avedon Hill, gateway to the Olviaran Pass. But they have arrived only to discover a town that has closed its doors to travelers.
