Sovereign Summer Sunday Spectacular
Hi everyone,
I’m recording the next episode of Sundered tonight, but in the meantime I wanted to let you know about an exciting upcoming event in the podcast fiction sphere.
Author Matthew Wayne Selznick was one of the very first podcast novelists with Brave Men Run, a strange and endlessly fun hybrid of 80s John Hughes teen comedies and teen outcast superhero comic books. Sound bizarre? Actually, in his capable hands, it’s anything but, with both elements blending seamlessly together into one very compelling whole. And if you grew up in the 80s like I did, you get the added bonus of some major nostalgic memories. It’s one of my very favorite podcast novels; if you haven’t heard it yet, you should do yourself a favor and give it a try.
Brave Men Run is coming out in a new paperback format from Swarm Press, and Matt has created an exciting all-day event on Sunday, July 13, to encourage everyone to order a copy (or three!) from Amazon.com and together make a run on the bestseller charts. He’ll be webcasting live the entire day, and to make the event even more unique, he will be debuting, each hour, a new short story set in the Brave Men Run universe, each by a different top podcast novelist, among them J.C. Hutchins and Mur Lafferty. Big names, people!
Learn more about what Matt is calling the (highly alliterative) Sovereign Summer Sunday event at his website http://www.mattselznick.com, here.
Also, for a truly magnificent interview with Matt, in the latest episode of J.C. Hutchins’s incomparable UltraCreatives series, visit J.C.’s site here.
Look for a promo for the event in the next episode of Sundered, dropping in a few days. See you all soon!
