Been a tumult this year, but a productive one.
I recorded Chasing the Bard and posted it to a better reception that I had anticipated.

Today is it.. the beginning of Chasing the Bard podiobook- at least the planning stages. I have a sequel coming out (hopefully) called Digital Magic in time for DragonCon in August, so this is the time for me to get the podiobook ready to run to act as a lead in.
