  Mick Bordet Live from Scotland

  Gravestones across Scotland are being defaced. An ancient advanced civilisation is discovered under the remains of Skara Brae. Bonnie Prince Charlie returns to Scotland, two hundred years after his death. Edinburgh police unearth a mysterious surveillance operation on the Queen's residence and the Scottish Parliament. All these events take place in a Scotland which is both familiar and yet slightly twisted. Events triggered thousands of years ago are about to reach a climax that not only threatens Scotland, but could finally hand the modern World the tools of its own destruction. THE THREE WAYS TO WIN 1. Mick is giving away free download codes for The Lunacy Board album, “Stockholm” (currently costs around $5) music used in his book. Simply twitter the upcoming show link and include @mickbordet so he can DM you the download code. After the show airs, you can email Mick and put Podioracket in the subject line or send out a twitter with the archived show’s link. This month only! 2. There are three new characters who have been introduced in the latest episode, none of whom have been named so far. We will take one (sincere, please) name for each person who wants to give one. Mick will pick the best one for each character during the show. Chatters can give only one name so Mick will give us a brief description if the character and we will go from there. 3. The best question of the show will be chosen at the end of the show. The winner will receive a signed copy of the ‘Some Other Scotland’ spin-off short stories that have appeared on the Great Hites podcast.

  J. Daniel Sawyer on Podioracket

  Meet J. Daniel Sawyer one of my favorite podcaster, writers, just plan great folks and author of Sculpting God and Predestination and other games of chance. Won't you join us live to talk with us and learn about his new release Down From Ten. 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. Sawyer, J.Daniel Sawyer.

  Mike Luoma

  Love this Guy! He is a a great interview so funny and talented. He has just released a re-mastered version of Vatican Assassin. And we are going to hear all about all his works. Here is a tease about the new release. BERNARD CAMPION'S friends call him "BC". Not that he has a lot of friends. You don't make a lot of friends when you're an assassin. His mission: eliminate the governor of Luna Prime, Meredith McEntyre. His bosses, The Office of Papal Operations: The OPO, tell him she's been sympathizing with the enemy, the Universal Islamic Nation (UIN). His boss? BC works for the Pope. It's 2109, a time of war. BC is 'officially' assigned as PR man to the Vatican Mission on Luna Prime, the major city on The Moon, as his cover. Just a mild mannered, young, twenty-something priest working for the New catholic Church on public relations. But he's really a weapon pointed at the UIN by the NcC and their Earth based allies, the Universal Trade Zone, the UTZ.

  Interview with Phil Rossi about Crescent

  Crescent by Phil Rossi Science Fiction

  "Darkness has inspired fear since mankind first watched the sun go down. Bad things hide in the dark feral beasts with mouths full of razors waiting for a taste of flesh. But now, the darkness is stirring with a life of its own. Crescent Station is the last bastion of civilization, floating in the cold, outer systems where colonized space gives way to the sparser settlements of the Frontier. Like the boom towns of distant Earth s Old American West, Crescent Station is a gateway to power, wealth, and opportunity for anyone who isn't afraid to get his or her hands dirty. But deep within the station s bowels, in Crescent s darkest and most secret places, an ancient evil is awakening and hungry, and it threatens the very fabric of space and time. Will the residents of Crescent Station find a way to stop it before the terror drives them insane? Or is it already too late?"

  Phil will be joining Rhonda on the BTR-Podioracket extended show on August 6th LIVE at 6pm Pacific/9pm Eastern and will be awarding a lucky caller or chat room participant with an autographed copy of Crescent on the show! Make sure you set a reminder for this one so that you have a chance to win a free book that will have you sleeping with the lights on. Also, find out about the upcoming Podiobooks.com release of Harvey.
