In the podcasting world, here’s some of the titles that have been published:
Escape Pod
“In His Footsteps” by Paul E. Martens, Read by Stephen Eley
“Oasis” by Greg van Eekhout, Read by Stephen Eley
“Snow Day” by Jennifer Pelland, Read by Deborah Green
“Strange Girlfriend” by Scott Janssens, Read by Stephen Eley
Podiobooks continues their serials of Morevi: The Chronicles of Rafe and Askana by Tee Morris & Lisa Lee, The Pocket and the Pendant by Mark Jeffrey, and Earthcore by Scott Sigler.
Other new developments – Timberwolf Press is now offering some of their titles for sale at Paperback Digital, which has also branched out into eBooks.
“Dead as a Doornail” (RECORDED BOOKS) is in the same series as “Dead Until Dark” (PAPERBACK DIGITAL) which was the first book in the series. If its half as good as the original it’d be worth picking up for sure.
That brings up an interesting trend… Recorded Books picks up that series, but drops Kevin J. Anderson’s Saga of the Seven Suns. The fourth volume of that series will be published by Brilliance in July, after the first three were published by RB.
