The audio book is done, and available on Audible.com.  Robert Ashker Kraft turned in an amazing performance and production.  It's huge, I am quite fortunate to have found him.  He has a great sense of comedic timing, spot on character voices, and the audio quality is top notch.  The book is doing quite well in reviews, and Robert is doing even better!  [image error]

Pilot episode of The Berserker and the Pedant is available on audio.  Narrated by the spectacular voice talent of Robert Kraft!    

The sketch for the first page of the graphic novel has come back.  It looks great!  I can practically read the words of the book just looking at the sketches.  Great work Nathan Massengill and Kevin Stokes!
