Feature Post: The World of P.G. Holyfield – Angel Between the Lines
Article by Dan Shaurette
“P.G. Holyfield is the author of one of our original Wolfram & Hart stories, “Exit Strategy”. He’s also the creator of the free serialized podcast novel, “Murder at Avedon Hill“, which is an epic high fantasy murder mystery. And I do mean epic, or as Evo Terra infamously dubbed it, “the podiobook that never ends.” On May 21, 2009 after 42 episodes, “Murder at Avedon Hill” did finally wrap production. Not only was this story epic in scope and scale, but the sheer number of over 45 talented voice actors from many podcasts also lends to this grand tale…” Click Here to Read More
The Podcast Repertory Theatre – Part 3 – Murder at Avedon Hill
Article by Michael Spence on his blog, “Brother Osric’s Scriptorium”
“…Arames Kragen is a monk of many parts. As an Aarronic Advisor, he formerly counseled a prince in matters diplomatic and military, his dedication ultimately not to his ruler but to the land itself. While not talented in the use of magic, Arames himself has a particular sensitivity to the “river of magic” that runs through the Land of Caern, a trait that occasionally gives him insight into the unseen activities of those who do wield magical power (and, incidentally, ties in ideally with his Aarronic commitment to the land). His own personal interest, however, is in the study of theology and prophecy; it is to follow this pursuit that, while remaining a member of the monastic Aarronic Order, he has taken early retirement as an Advisor. Researcher, diplomat, strategist, sensitive — all ideal characteristics for a detective.”
Quadruple Z: Podcast Review – Why You Should Listen to Murder at Avedon Hill – Tabitha Grace Smith
“Crossing genres can work extremely well. Case in point is one of my favorite TV shows – Firefly (SciFi/Western). Of course, for this to work the artist/creatorhas to have some basic understanding of both genres to serve them well. After finishing “Murder at Avedon Hill” (MaAH), I can assure you that author P.G. Holyfield not only brings an entertaining fantasy story but a compelling mystery. Even if fantasy isn’t your cup of tea (or if tea isn’t your cup of… well, you get the idea) Holyfield spins a compelling tapestry of characters, situations and, of course, murder.” Click Link above to see the rest of the review.
