Ted Chiang (source: http://www.flickr.com/photos/doctorow/1283502265/sizes/l/)I’ve added a new TED CHIANG listing to our AUTHOR PAGES section. There you’ll find all and every Ted Chiang story and audio interview that we know about. And, I’ve created a special Ted Chiang podcast through a service called HuffDuffer. In it you’ll find all three known podcast Ted Chiang stories and an interview with him too. If you haven’t tried a Ted Chiang tale, now’s your perfect chance. Plug this feed…

Paradox: CONAN audiobook coming in June 2009

Meego ConanA Paradox Entertainment representative has posted this on the Conan.com forums:

We are glad to announce that the popular Robert E. Howard series published by Random House/Del Rey is coming as audiobooks from Tantor Audio. First out, starting in June 2009 with one release each month, are the three Conan books [The Coming of Conan the Cimmerian, The Bloody Crown of Conan, The Conquering Sword of Conan], followed by “Bran Mak Morn: The Last King“, “The Horror Stories of Robert E. Howard“, “Kull: Exile of Atlantis” and “The Savage Tales of Solomon Kane“.

Details go on to say that Todd McLaren will be the narrator. Here’s a sample of his voice |MP3|. Plans are for the audiobooks to be in the cd, mp3-cd and “mp3 download (online only)” formats. That last seems rather unlikely as Tantor will probably be selling direct downloads through Audible.com (which doesn’t offer MP3).
