Silence of the Unshows

Well… Um… Right… Sorry. No surprise, but we’re going silent this week.

Hang in there til next week, please. Please? Thank you.

Greasy comments idea for the Silent Unshow: Let’s all play. . . Go back and pick a few (at random or otherwise) from last week and cut-paste them in this week’s comments.

Ministry of Peculiar Occurrences short story: "Night's Plutonian Shore"

I’m proud to announce that Tee Morris and Pip Ballantine have released part 1 of my two-part story, “Night’s Plutonian Shore” for their “Tales from the Archives” podcast fiction anthology, set in the Victorian Steampunk world of their Ministry of Peculiar Occurrences novel(s). As described by Tee and Pip:
This epic tale opens in 1849 when a poet is murdered in the streets of Baltimore. The man behind the seemingly random murder manages to elude the law until — in 1889 — Agents Bruce Campbell and Brandon Hill track him down. The assassin, Mikael Scharnusser, gives the slip to the agents on revealing his “talent” and the madman’s intentions to bring down the House of Usher.

The early reception has been wonderful. You can hear the story here: http://www.ministryofpeculiaroccurrences.com/2011/06/22/tales-from-the-archives-eight-part-one/

It was an honor to be invited.
