New Fantasy Podcast Episode from Laurel Anne Hill (Author of "Heroes Arise")

I've posted Part One of a new three-part tale on my almost-weekly podcast:  Welcome to my Bedroom Closet.  Here's the basics.

Mysterious deaths.  A stolen brooch.  A woman tormented by sorcery.  A seemingly harmless Russian fairy tale.  Add them together, sprinkle in a bit of Paris and the result becomes "An Incomprehensible Force," a short story and fantasy.

Part one of "An Incomprehensible Force" (approximately 23 minutes long) is now available for free on iTunes.  (Search iTunes on "Laurel Anne Hill.") Or you may go to my audioblog at http://laurelannehill.libsyn.com.    For more information about me or my award-winning novel, "Heroes Arise," please visit my website at http://www.laurelannehill.com.

Halloween Web-Threaders in the Bedroom Closet of Laurel Anne Hill (Author of "Heroes Arise")

Happy Halloween!  Well, almost.  Are you ready to enter my bedroom closet?

This week, my podcast (Welcome to my Bedroom Closet) consists mainly of a reading adapted from Chapter 16 of my award-winning novel, "Heroes Arise."  Chapter 16 introduces my twelve-legged, elongated "spiders" who have an IQ and an attitude.  Oh, and I included some cool sound effects in my podcast as well.

I won't be doing a podcast on November 1, due to the World Fantasy Convention where I'll serve as a panelist.

To listen to my most recent episode of "Welcome to my Bedroom Closet," go to http://laurelannehill.libsyn.com, or search for "Laurel Anne Hill" in iTunes.

Warm wishes and have a safe Halloween,

Laurel

Laurel Anne Hill (Author of "Heroes Arise") at 2009 World Fantasy Con

For those of you attending World Fantasy Con in San Jose  (October 29 – November 1), I'll be part of the panel on "Writing Human Characters, Whether or Not They're Human."  Hope to see you there.  Here is the panel description. 

10:00 AM Gold Room: Writing Human Characters, Whether or Not They’re Human  Panelists will discuss the challenges of writing relatable non-human characters in heroic and mythic fantasy that are both alien enough to be something more than funny-looking people but also human enough for readers to relate to.

David B Coe (moderator), Kate Elliott, Kay Kenyon, Shauna Roberts, Laurel Anne Hill.

Warm wishes,

Laurel Anne Hill   (http://www.laurelannehill.com)
