If You Build It, Will They Come?

Free content - particularly in the audio fiction space - suddenly seems a lot less of a perpetual free lunch than it did six months ago, and it’s got a lot of folks freaking out in my corner of the Internet. Providers are dropping like flies this year! Matthew Wayne Selznick and J.C. [...]

Episode 7: Lilith

Warning: This episode contains explicit sexual situations, and is intended for adult audiences.
You’ve heard the story of Adam and Eve? Don’t be so sure. The Bible doesn’t tell the whole story, but if you look closely you see where something has been removed. First, God creates “man” male and female, and then, [...]

Ep. 6: We Create Worlds, Part 2

Warning: This episode of Sculpting God is intended for adult audiences, and has content that is probably unsuitable for children and the easily offended. Strong language, dirty euphamisms, violence, sexual themes, and disturbing subject matter.
Here, at long last, is the conclusion to We Create Worlds. I had intended to release this over a month [...]

Down From Ten

The last month have seen me taking a break from the revisions to Predestination - and from Sculpting God, to my unending shame (don’t worry, it’s coming back this week). The culprit? A new drama called “Down From Ten,” which I just finished the rough on last night. I’m taking week to [...]

Uber-projects update

So, the last month have brought a lot of new projects, as well as desperate scramblings to keep up with existing ones. Here’s the rundown:
Down From Ten
This is a mystery/suspense/science fiction/comedy/drama film I’m writing for production, hopefully later this year if the financing comes through. More news on this as the deal [...]

We Create Worlds, Part 1 now available these: http://www.podfeed.net/podcast/Sculpting+God/12883

Think you can take the future? It’s coming. And the narrator of this week’s Sculpting God is one of those people who are going to give it to you.
Meet Rick. He’s a scurrilous, irascible scoundrel, with a heart of gold. Not in the sense of being warm and fuzzy and good underneath, but [...]

We Create Worlds completed

The next episode in Sculpting God is the science fiction suspense story “We Create Worlds.” It’s actually the first short story I ever wrote as an adult, and let me tell you, when I went to record it after not having read it for years, it showed. Kind of like discovering that the [...]

  • Inside Information

    J. Daniel Sawyer is a science fiction author seeking to further destabilize the universe by building a cult in his own honor.
    Although not as crazy as Philip K. Dick or as bloody-minded as Robert A. Heinlein, he does share certain delusional qualities with both, including a prominent middle initial and the fantasy that the universe would be a better place if reality conformed to the strange visions protected by his fragile skull.
    Lest the fragility of his skull give you any ideas, be advised that he has a killer fedora hat and isn't afraid to use it. He also saw one too many Bond movies as a child. If you haven't yet been frightened away, click here to learn more.
