What is the secret of Matthew Wayne Selznick, author of Brave Men Run? You’ll have to listen to the interview to find out, but may have something to do with this stuff he posted on his website:

“Ladies and gentlemen, on Sunday, July 13, 2008, every hour on the hour for eight hours beginning at 10:00 AM Eastern / 7:00 AM Pacific time, I will present a brand new, original short story set in the first year of the Sovereign Era universe. These stories — official Sovereign Era canon — are from some of the most respected authors of podcast fiction:

• J.C. Hutchins (The “7th Son” trilogy)
• Mur Lafferty (”Playing For Keeps”)
• Nathan Lowell (The “Golden Age of the Solar Clipper” novels)
• Matt Wallace (”The Next Fix”)
• J.R. Blackwell (Voices of Tomorrow)
• P.G. Holyfield (”Murder at Avedon Hill”)
• Jared Axelrod (The Voice of Free Planet X)

I’ll be reading each story aloud, on camera, absolutely live, in random order — so be sure to check in every hour so you don’t miss your favorite author!”

The Voice of Free Planet X theme was written and performed by Russell Collins of www.clockworkaudio.net

“Sugar lumps, er, what are you doing with all those gold items?”

“I’m just putting them in a pile, here in the center of the room. It looks quite nice, don’t you think?”

“This pile of gold, you mean?”

“Yes. And it’s quite comfy too, look.”

“Darling, are you quite sure you’re all right?”

“Oh, never better, Darcy my dear. If you had told me a laying atop a pile of old coins and golf trophies would be so relaxing, I wouldn’t have believed you. But I may fall asleep right here.”

“Um, Juniper, sweetness, jewel of my eye. I hate to be indelicate, but is that a tail poking out of the hem your skirt?”

“Hmmm….you know, Darcy, I think might be right. That does look like a tail. Oh, look! I can wiggle it!”
