Now that it is time for Podioracket to return to our regular fall schedule, we thought we would fill you in on what we missed.

We have a busy season coming up for the Raise a Racket podcast and the Live Blog Talk Radio Show. Both shows kick off just after the Labor Day holiday. We’re recording interviews now. Look for announcements to follow soon on the many authors we have lined up for you. Until then, we hope you had as good a summer as we did and here is what you may have missed:

He’s accepting Male and Female readers. Certain Male voices are ideal, such as Fractured Horizon Promo Voice. Sorry nutter the our VOG (Voice of God) belongs to us! But we will spread the word.

On May 15th the Inertians attacked our supply lines and made it impossible to purchase Nina Kimberly the Merciless! Before she was shut down she was able to reach some very remarkable numbers on Amazon. Check Christiana’s blog to hear all about it.

However, we are now pleased to tell you that Nina Kimberly the Merciless is once again available for sale. It is in stock, whether Amazon admits it or not, so feel free to order. Get your copy today!


Tonight, Monday May 18th at 8:00 pm PST, Rhonda will be interviewing Emerian Rich on the extended blogtalk version of the show. The Chris Miller special will be aired followed by a live interview with Emerian Rich. You may join the call and ask questions or check it out in the archive.


Personal Effects: Sword of Blood a thiller by J.C. Hutchins is now live on Podiobooks.com. We look forward to bringing you the interview with him in our Episode 9 scheduled for the first week of June.


 

On Wed look for Episode 8 to go live where you will hear from Mark Eller and James D. Priest. Although we’ve previously shown Priest’s trailer when he started his Podiobooks.com release, it’s worth seeing again!  Find it here.

She is in need of an army against the Inertians; a show of support and the purchase of Nina Kimberly the Merciless will do the trick. Are you an Inertian?

Still wondering whether you’ll  like it?  Christiana Ellis is giving you every opportunity.  Listen to the audio, download the book, and buy that beautiful print release. Yes, she really means it when she says that she’s trying something new and bucking those Inertians. Let’s show them that it works!
