Rish Outcast 12: A Wish Your Butt Makes
So, no story this time, though they are on the way. Find out what's coming for me, my projects, and the Dunesteef. I recorded this quickly because it's rare to get me in a positive, goal-oriented mood.

Stay Tuned . . .
The deadline looms on the largest project I've ever taken on. Because, of course, I assumed October would never come, and because I foolishly thought I could work on other projects too, I've still got around twenty percent left to do. But that's okay, because I am actually ENJOYING seeing how close to the deadline I can finish this thing, and that entails spending nearly all of my free time working on it.
Had I dedicated this much attention, sweat, and time focus on the project, say, back in July . . . I would have finished this puppy back in July.
But more on that later. This is just a quick note to let you know that, as soon as the huge project is done, I can probably get back to publishing my short stories, writing new ones, getting my other (belated) audiobook commitments finished, creating cover art, putting out the Rish Outcast (which has about five episodes in the can and just waiting to be edited), reading through my stack of books, working with Marshal Latham again, typing up notebook stories, and of course, doing Dunesteef episodes.
So, stick around. October may be an exciting month.

P.S. Over at the Drabblecast this week, they're re-running my favorite story Norm's ever done on his show, "The Store of the Worlds" by Robert Sheckley. Check it out, if you don't remember.

"Birth of a Sidekick" also available on Audible.com
Just a little note to let you know my reading of "Birth of a Sidekick" is up on Audible.com.
I have been too busy with my other audiobook obligations to get much stuff done for myself this year (I did just finish one book, and am just over halfway through Abbie Hilton's giant tome), but I did have a mad plan of doing my own audiobooks in between doing them for others. "Birth of a Sidekick" was my first attempt, and Big has suggested that I put three or four recordings together to make something significantly longer, which will justify people using their allotment of credits to buy one.
When I'm at work, I get all these lofty ideas in my head of the collections I'll put out, the stories I'll record, the artwork I'll create, the stuff I will share (both for a fee and for free). Of course, when I get home, I fall asleep editing a single chapter of an audiobook-in-progress. Don't ever get old, children.
But if anyone buys "Birth of a Sidekick," and encourages me, that might help me to achieve one or two of the many, many unrealized goals I have in my cramped little head.

Rish's voice on Pseudopod
It's been a long time since my voice has been heard on Pseudopod, the famed Horror podcast. But I recently voiced a small part in a fullcast production of James Triptree Jr's "The Screwfly Solution."
This appeared in the last week or so, but today, I noticed that the movie at the top of my Netflix queue is the Showtime 2007 adaptation of Triptree's story. I thought, "I wonder if that episode of Pseudopod has aired yet." Well, it's there, their episode 400, which is quite a milestone.
"Screwfly" is a timelessly disturbing story about a plague of religious mania that causes males to despise females of the species . . . and murder them. It starts with the remote crazies in far-away places, but soon spreads, infecting all corners of the more and more intolerant globe.
As you can guess, it's not a tale for the Hallmark Channel crowd.
In listening, I was disturbed by the story, and fear I may have been the weak link in this particular production. I have a very minor role in the thing, but sometimes, that's good enough. Check it out at: http://pseudopod.org/2014/08/22/pseudopod-400-the-screwfly-solution/
If you dare.

Rish Outcast 11: Last Night of Freedom
So, here is another (overdue) episode of the show, one I meant to have drop right at the end of summer. It includes the short story "Last Night of Freedom," as well as an explanation of its rather-convoluted origins. Hopefully, you dig it.
If not . . . no refunds.
