  • Peace Lord of the Red Planet - Chapter Nine - Sorry for the extra week, everyone!  The Holidays were wonderful, but didn't allow me time to get the show together.  From here on out, I anticipate maintaining the bi-weekly schedule.  AND... Peace Lord WILL be an honest-to-gosh paper BOOK in 2010.  Current plans call for release in late May.  I'll keep you posted.  

    In this chapter, Xhylanna marshals her Generals to make a decisive strike against the Aspar.  Philip sells his knowledge of the enemy, and Shep tries desperately to broker peace.  Meanwhile, Hylas makes a drastic decision._

  • Update Show - Just Steve checking in with some thoughts on the challenges of being a writer, producer, director, parent, IT Professional, and human being... not necessarily in that order.  New content coming soon!

    The reference to L. Neil Smith's blog entry on the writing beast can be found here._
  • Update Show - Just a few brief comments on what Prometheus is doing right now, and our progress in bringing you more of Peace Lord of the Red Planet  and a dozen new full-cast scrips. _
  • Feedback and Updates Show - Some thoughts from listeners, plus some news about the upcoming shows from Prometheus.  We're going to take a month hiatus while we prepare some new material.  

    Steve was a Parsec Award judge!  Parsec Awards are being announced this weekend at Dragon*Con.  Best of luck to all competitors! 

    And Renee is running a marathon to benefit the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society.  She'd love it if some of our listeners helped out with this worthy cause. _
  • Peace Lord of the Red Planet - Chapter Five - On the run from the authorities in Aspar, Shep discovers something new about himself.  Then he discovers something about the Aspar's customs and his young ally Hylas that he didn't really want to know.

    Okay, this is the chapter where a certain portion of the listenership is going to become uncomfortable and probably cry out, "Oh, no, he's going THERE!"  It's organic and necessary to the story, and, if you know your warrior cultures of earth, historically supported.  Again, no explicit language, but the subject matter is adult.  Interested in your thoughts, but check all amateur psychology at the door.  You don't want to be in my head.  It's dark and scary and there are little mice...

    The preview is for "The Good Parts" podcast, and does have both explicit language and subject matter. _
  • Peace Lord of the Red Planet - Chapter Four - Condemned for treason, Shep awaits execution; but Hylas has a plan to save his new-found friend. 

    Still anxious for feedback!  Let us know what you think!_
  • Peace Lord of the Red Planet - Chapter Three - Shep awakes from a troubled sleep and an eventful night in an alien land -- and is catapulted once again into a life and death situation. 


    _
  • Peace Lord of the Red Planet - Chapter Two - Shep and Philip, out of the frying pan and into the fire, have been mysteriously snatched from the jaws of death in Virginia, and transported to a world at war.  The Red Planet... is it Heaven?  Are these people whose civilization is so advanced angels?  Or are they merely human?  Shep does what comes naturally, and catapults himself and his friend into the thick of an ages old war. 

    This chapter starts to get a bit more explicit, so be warned.  I don't recall putting any foul language at all into this story, but the subject matter is adult.  Have had one bit of feedback thus far, and am eager for more.  Let me know what you think! 
    _
  • Peace Lord of the Red Planet - Chapter One - This novel puts a new spin on the idea of the earthman who is suddenly torn from his home and cast into a fantastic world of warfare and (apparent) magic.  Our hero is not a seasoned veteran of war who happens to outclass all the members of an alien warrior culture; rather, he's a man of peace whose bravery is beyond compare, but whose moral convictions will be tested on a ruthless world. 

    Shepherd Autrey is a doctor and member of the Society of Friends in America in 1864.  On a mercy mission to the devastated Shenandoah Valley, he runs afoul of a Confederate press gang and is doomed to be hanged.  Instead, he begins an extraordinary adventure. 

    The first several chapters of this novel will be run on this cast in the coming weeks.  We're anxious to hear your feedback on the story.  In the Fall, it will be released in eBook format by Firebringer Press, and on podiobooks.com. 

    Special thanks to Eli Senter, Cindy Woods and Sandy Zier-Teitler for editorial services!

  • A Gift of Gold - At Christmas time, we think a lot about traditions of the past, and about those who came before us. The group of creative people who put together a fanzine called Contact back in the 1970s are some of the forbears of today's Prometheus Radio Theatre. Many of those writers and artists directly contributed to our being where we are today.

    It seems appropriate then, that we take some time right now to feature a selection from A Contact Christmas, published in 1979. Steve reads "A Gift of Gold," by Beverly J. Volker and Nancy J. Kippax.
