"And Then Some" podcast on StarShip Sofa
"And Then Some," the opening episode of The Kaslo Chronicles, my science-fantasy novel now being serialized in
Lightspeed Magazine
, is also the main fiction in the latest edition of StarShip Sofa's podcast.
The narrator is Barry J. Northern, whose accent belies his name by being definitely from the south of England. That makes the podcast an interesting experience for me, because the voices I hear in my head when I'm writing Kaslo episodes (I've done five so far) come straight out of 1940s American noir -- Humphrey Bogart, Van Heflin, Dan Duryea -- with that flat, mid-west intonation. Hearing it done in "English" English adds a dfferent element.
I was quite taken with it.

New Kaslo episode in Lightspeed
"Under the Scab," the seventh episode in The Kaslo Chronicles, is now available for a free read at Lightspeed Magazine. Here's the intro blurb:
As a new age of magic dawns amid the ruins of the former technological civilization on Novo Bantry, wizard’s henchman Erm Kaslo is on the trail of the horde of multi-legged creatures that carried off the survivors who had taken shelter at the castle of his employer, the wizard Diomedo Obron. The tracks lead to an interplanar portal into the Seventh Plane. Kaslo has no idea what awaits him there, but knows that he must go through.
The six previous episodes are available in Lightspeed's archive.
I've now written and turned in the final episode in the serialized novel.
