Guest Post: Jake Bible, Uber-Pretentious Writer!

I’m An Uber-Pretentious Writer And Proud Of It, By Jake Bible

So, I’m a writer. There, I said it. Can’t walk away from that statement.
I see a few of you scratching your heads like, “Uh, Jake, yeah, we know. That’s why you were invited to write a post here. That’s why we’re reading it.”
But, what may seem simple to you, kind reader, isn’t always so simple for us wordsmiths. Because, well, there’s this “making a living” thing that gets in the way.

Transmissions: a Guest voice tour da force!

Now, all you listeners, this is a bit of a re-post. Part gushing again for the guest-voices in this episode, and part pimpery of an episode I’m still pretty proud of.

I’m talking of the special ENEMY LINES holiday episode I put together in December. Check it out here.

If you’re new to the party, or haven’t already heard it, I HIGHLY recommend you check it out. There are no spoilers for ENEMY LINES, but sort of a prequel to the world, with many characters not in the novel.

A number of the segments in ‘Transmissions’ were recorded as teaser trailer/promo material, for a campaign that never really got off the ground. I knew the holidays would be rough, and so I set to record a couple extra segments including the continuing plot thread of the episode, which was masterfully voiced by Jack Kincaid, of the podcast Edict Zero: FIS.

The storyline of an embedded Wright on Earth reporting back to the ruling council about his experience and investigations into Typhon Systemwide, is the perfect spine to give all the contributions new life, and give the listeners new hints about the world of ENEMY LINES that will pay off later in the book… and in future books (key evil laughter here).

So thank you again, podcasters, each and every one of you. I’ll round out this post with a list of all the contributors to this ‘very special episode’.

Jack Kincaid – Edict Zero: FIS
Alex White – The Gearheart
James Durham – Fetidus: the Damned Heir
Starla Huchton – The Dreamer’s Thread
Mike Bennett – Underwood & Flinch
Jake Bible – Dead Mech
Paul Elard Cooley – Closet Treats
Seth Harwood – Young Junius
Nathan Lowell – Owner’s Share
Patrick E. McLean – Unkillable
J. Daniel Sawyer – Down From Ten

Today I interview two talented writers and peers in Podcasting.

Jake Bible is the Writer and Narrator of Dead Mech, and Paul Ellard Cooley is the Writer and Narrator of The Fiends short story collection and Closet Treats, both available from Shadow Publications.

Sorry folks: this show’s an hour long, and change, but it’s a good’un! The talk is frank, profane and insightful, and the conversation roams far and wide, and will give you a good idea of who these creators are, their take on fiction, podcasting, new media… and Giant Mech testicles. Download MP3
