…In Less than Twelve Parsecs!
Six Parsecs, to be exact. I’ve been officially nominated for the Parsec awards in six categories - three for The Antithesis Progression and three for Sculpting God.
For Predestination, I’ve been nominated for:
Best Speculative Fiction Story (Novel Form)
Best Audio Drama (Long Form including Independents)
Best New Speculative Fiction Podcaster/Team
And for Sculpting God, I’ve been nominated for:
Best Speculative Fiction Story (Short Form)
Best Audio Drama (Short Form including Independents)
Best Speculative Fiction Magazine or Anthology Podcast
There’s obviously a lot of genre bending that I’m doing between fiction/drama, so that may work against me. Who knows? The only down side of this is that I have to send in samples, which is one more thing on my overlong to-do list. Even so…
Being nominated for the Parsecs f*cking rocks! Thanks guys, you are all fabulous!

Big Press Day!
Amazing day today full of good press for your humble narrator. It started off with your humble narrator being interviewed live on Podioracket’s BlogTalk Radio show. Shortly after I wrapped that up, an interview I did last month with WNDR Radio posted, and hot on the heels of that Dear Editor reviewed my story Cold Duty that I did for Steampod and Clonepod for Christmas last year. Lots of fun on all three of them - click the links and have a listen!
The Big Move
Those of you on twitter know that I’ve been house hunting lately — the project has gotten the nickname “The Podcommune” and its own twitter hashtag, for reasons which are unlikely to become clear again at the moment.
Well, there are big doings on this front which may effect, in a very positive way, the amount and delivery schedule of content I put out over the next year.

Dealing In, Ep. 9 pt.1
This one features Miss Kalendar along with Chris Lester and Kitty Nic’Iaian.
This is it, folks, the final round of Dealing In before we get to Down From Ten. We toast the successful conclusion of Predestination and look forward. Some info on Down From Ten here, as well as some very involved conversations about the themes of Predestination, the possible interaction of quantum mechanics and consciousness, and the nature of trust. Not to mention a LOT of laughs, some inside information on what I’m like as a director, and lots of other stuff. This is one of three episodes in this final Dealing In saga — 61 minutes of audio goodness here. Enjoy!!!

Season 3, Episode 4: Ancient Science with Richard Carrier, pt 2
Part 2 of the Richard Carrier is now live. We continue our conversation about science in the ancient world, discuss the works and missteps of Rodney Stark and his theory of the scientific revolution, read and discuss ancient documents germaine to the topic, and talk about the reasons for the fall of the Roman Empire. Hera Flea returns with more Reprobates News, and Danny Schade continues to supply additional questions and commentary.
Next time, in about two weeks, we’ll talk to Cory Doctorow about DRM, Freedom, Surveilance, and Linux.
Enjoy!
BayCon! And general updates
Well, ladies and germs, I’m off to BayCon tomorrow, where I’ll be flittering hither and thither spreading my own brand of humor and amusement If any of you will be there, I’ll be having lunch in the bar area at noon on Sunday - feel free to join me. Look for my Fedora and my “My Name Is Joss Kyle” t-shirt.
In other news, I’ve engaged the services of Gabrielle Harbowy for editing Down From Ten, in order to whip it into shape for the podcast.
I’ll be blogging the con as I go, though depending on wi-fi access I might not be able to post the blogs till next week. Hope you all have an excellent Memorial Day, regardless of whether your weekend brings you Balticon, BayCon, or barbecues.
New Reprobates — and remastered Predestination episodes - will post next week.

Nina Kimberley the Merciless - Free E-Book
Those of you who listened to Predestination heard Christiana Ellis’s voice playing bit parts — when you listen to Down From Ten you’ll hear her as one of the main characters. But when you listen to her podcasts - Shallow Thoughts, Space Casey, or Nina Kimberley - you’ll be holding your sides.
Which is what this post is about. Christiana Ellis’ hysterical send up of epic fantasy, Nina Kimberley the Merciless is now available on Amazon.com. I *LOVE* this book — very clever, loads of fun, and written with a genuine literacy that’s very refreshing in any kind of Fantasy, let alone comedic fantasy. Download the ebook here to read on your computer or portable reader, subscribe to the podcast here, and support the author’s print debut by heading over to Amazon and buying today.
