The Glow-in-the-Dark Radio Podcast

The adventures of the Vatican Assassin shift in a new direction this week, as BC recuperates in Rome at the Vatican after his assignment on Fortune Station. He's still taking some heat from his superiors over his security lapse back on Lunar Prime during the UIN attack, when double-agent and Lunar Security Corps officer Nita Bendix almost killed him. As BC returns to Lunar Prime, strange blackouts and extended sleep periods make him realize some of the cult's mind altering drugs may have lingering effects on his mind...

Listen to chapters twenty-one and twenty two of Vatican Assassin on this episode of Glow-in-the-Dark Radio. BC - Bernard Campion - is an assassin for the pope of the New catholic Church in 2109. Now you know all you need to dive in and enjoy the adventure!

In the news - my new book "Introducing... Red Hot!" comes out on Wednesday (2/1) with great art by Rhys ap Gwyn. And The Adventures of Alibi Jones: Six Short Stories is available now free in the iTunes store and at Podiobooks.com!

BONUS STUFF! There's a BIG batch of bonus material in this episode - over 20 minutes of it! Not only do you get a reading of deep background material out of the "History of The Future" from the Vatican Assassin Appendix, you also get to hear my reggae "classic", "Newt" - all in honor or Newt Gingrich's recent campaign BS that sounds like HE'S reading from my appendix...

Sex, lies, politics, murder, religion... the chapters of my science fiction adventure Vatican Assassin on this episode of Glow-in-the-Dark Radio have it all! BC's mission to Fortune Station has been a spectacular failure. Insteading of assassinating cult leader The Light, the cult took BC prisoner. They've been trying to brainwash him, poisoning his food and dosing him with psychedelic drugs. Last episode BC talked to God... maybe. Now he's talking to cult members about something kind of radical...

Listen to chapters 19 & 20 from my free Vatican Assassin audiobook - and get a little bit of news, too. My new comic book Introducing... Red Hot! #1 comes out February 1st from Earthbound Comics. I was a guest on this week's Geek Radio Daily (http://geekradiodaily.com). And the new free audiobook The Adventures of Alibi Jones: Six Short Stories is available now from iTunes and Podiobooks.com.

Can BC get away with murder?

The Vatican Assassin has done his job - Governor Meredith McEntyre of Lunar Prime is dead. So far, no one suspects BC. Authorities are not yet even certain that McEntyre was killed - it looked like a heart attack. But McEntyre's widower Daniel is about to accuse BC of being her killer!

Got carried away creating bonus material for this episode - there's more bonus stuff than chapters, and more than an hour's worth of both!

Happy Halloween!

It's a Glow-in-the-Dark Radio tradition - gotta do a Halloween Special! And, as always, I've got to do a reading of Edgar Allan Poe's "The Raven" - I'll read something else by him, too, as well as some H.P. Lovecraft. 

And what I hope is a highlight - I'll do a reading of my new psychological horror story "Crackling Bones"!

There are many other surprises as well... things I cannot commit to print, they can only be experienced within the space created by the magic of Glow-in-the-Dark Radio itself!

He handles negotiations between humanity and alien races, and occasionally oversees negotiations between alien races. He's the adopted son of the former head of the Solar Alliance, Anita Capituna, his "Aunt Anita". Alibi and his girlfriend Katie are trying to get some rest and relaxation on the vacation planet Paradise.

Wanted to give you something more than just the story, though - so there's a long bonus section after the story itself where I go into the historical roots of "Blind Eye".

He's the adopted son of the former head of the Solar Alliance, Anita Capituna, his "Aunt Anita". At a diplomatic function he attends on his aunt's behalf, Alibi hears talk of a new settlement. But the news sounds suspicious - could "Poyas" be more con job than colony? And what is Alibi's old girlfriend Shirra doing messed up in it?
