🚀 BUCKLE UP—we’re going to Lightspeed!
Dropping this week in the February issue of Lightspeed Magazine is a new story podcast that I had the absolute pleasure of narrating for Skyboat Media!
It Holds Her in the Palm of One Hand by Lowry Poletti is a mesmerizing sci-fi novelette that turns the familiar “first contact” idea on its head. Set in deep space, on the planet Miphre, It Holds Her in the Palm of One Hand follows an uneasy, even antagonistic, relationship between humans and gastors – intelligent birds whose true intentions remain a mystery. Are they allies? Manipulators? Something else entirely? Lightspeed is serializing this story over the next two weeks, and Part One is out now!
To listen or read It Holds Her in the Palm of One Hand – Part 1, head over to LightspeedMagazine.com, Issue 177 – link is here.
Huge thanks to Lightspeed Magazine and Skyboat Media for the opportunity to bring this thought-provoking story to life.
Until next time, see you on the bit stream! 🎧✨
Summertime 🏖️ is perfect for escaping into a new story podcast! So delighted to be featured in the July Issue of Lightspeed Magazine, narrating three different story podcasts: one fantasy and two science fiction tales. Huge thanks to Stefan Rudnicki, Skyboat Media and Lightspeed Magazine for sending these beautiful gems my way.
For a flash fiction story about magic, melody and love caught in the cycles of time, check out Songs of the Sorrow of Thorns by Amayah Perveen. It’s hauntingly beautiful.
If you’re in the mood for something lighter, don’t miss The Only Writing Advice You’ll Ever Need to Survive Eldritch Horrors by Aimee Picchi, out today! This story was a blast to record. Our heroine secretly fights crime (Eldritch Horrors!) at night under the guise of being an accountant. When her boyfriend breaks up with her over her suspicious 3am “accounting emergencies,” she puts pen to paper and writes him a letter.
Lastly, if you love heist stories, The Heist for the Soul of Humanity by Filip Hajdar Drnovšek Zorko may be just what you’re looking for. Out in the solar system, Josephine Foster and her team of female thieves plot to steal Orion’s Sabre, but the real prize is much more valuable. Releases on Lightspeed July 18.
Grab your beach gear, headphones, or tablet and head to LightspeedMagazine.com to listen to or read these stories for free.
Buckle up … we’re going to Lightspeed! 🚀
Landing today is a really cool Sci-fi story that I had so much fun narrating. Melting Like Metal is written by the talented Ada Hoffman, and sweeps us into the world where her novel, The Outside, takes place.
In Melting Like Metal, however, we are now in the POV of cyborg, Enga. As an angel of the God called Nemesis, Enga is no longer human. That’s not to say, she still doesn’t have her own share of struggles. She most definitely does. One of which, is she is not able to speak. For me as an narrator, this was an exciting challenge to play around with. Enga’s only way of communicating now, is by sending text messages from her heavily modified, technological brain.
This story takes off at warp speed and was truly awesome to work on. If you’d like to check out the podcast, just head on over to Lightspeed Magazine. This podcast was produced by the amazing team at Skyboat Media, and was edited by John Joseph Adams and hosted by Jim Freud.
So…are you ready? Let’s go LIGHTSPEED 🚀
