"Congratulations, asshole." ...BC must attend the inauguration of a man he hates, as Daniel McEntyre becomes the new governor of Lunar Prime - on an all-new episode of Glow-in-the-Dark Radio! No worries for new listeners, or if you need to get caught up - you get a rundown of the "story so far" before we get into the story itself.

I've decided to revise book two of the Vatican Assassin Trilogy - Vatican Ambassador - so this is a freshly revised AND newly re-recorded version of chapter three of Vatican Ambassador! There's also news about my free eBook out this month and a new article I wrote this past week on the mysterious villain spotted during the end credits of the new movie The Avengers - Enjoy the show!

Glow-in-the-Dark Radio 202

Mike Luoma — Sat, 05 May 2012 20:52:07 GMT

An all new reading of Chapter 2 of Vatican Ambassador – part two of The Vatican Assassin Trilogy – on today's podcast! After war and rebuilding comes the somewhat slimier business of... politics. Is BC a liability? He just may be, as Marc Edwards runs for reelection as Governor of Lunar Prime. It doesn't help that Edward's opponent is BC's enemy, Universal Islamic Nation sympathizer Daniel McEntyre – the man whose wife BC assassinated. Listen to this episode to find out who wins – it's election time on Glow-in-the-Dark Radio.

Listen in to find out how to get yourself a free new eBook – my Souverain: The Kid is out now from Earthbound Comics! And I'll share some more thoughts about the contradictions of creativity and creative despair... fun! Been a rough week. I'll tell you about it.

All fresh from the ground up today on an all-new podcast episode!

Glow-in-the-Dark Radio 201

Mike Luoma — Sun, 29 Apr 2012 06:55:59 GMT

Episode 201 - a time for new beginnings. And so we begin a new book on The Glow-in-the-Dark Radio Podcast - Book Two in The Vatican Assassin Trilogy - Vatican Ambassador! The Christmas Day War of 2110 has come and gone. Those who survived have been left to rebuild. BC - Bernard Campion - a former (he assumes) assassin for the Vatican - is now the acting Ambassador, and has been rebuilding the Vatican Mission on the Moon. We begin with a look back at the war, and then catch up with BC in a bar on St. Patrick's Day during a declared holiday, as for the first time since the attacks people allow themselves to relax a little and enjoy life again.

ALL NEW INTRODUCTION! The first part of this chapter, the look back at the war and the rebuilding, has been completely rewritten - you're about to hear an all new edition of Vatican Ambassador! Reader Greg Tymn emailed asking about "mistakes" in the beginning of the chapter... only, those weren't mistakes. Grrr - listen to the podcast to hear Greg's questions and my answers - and then hear the newly rewritten chapter one! After fixing the introductory part, I decided to re-edit the rest of the chapter as well - not for content but clarity. You're about to hear a brand-new recording of a never-before-heard-or-read new edition of Vatican Ambassador! How cool is that?

Almost as cool as a new free eBook! Always want to portmanteau that into "freeBook"... I'm teaming up with Earthbound Comics to give away a free eBook - Souverain: The Kid comes out May 1st. It's already available some places - check out the Earthbound Comics facbook page for more details on how to get your free copy today: https://www.facebook.com/pages/Earthbound-Comics/97851348284

Old lovers, Time-travel and threatening Aliens in mysterious armor - are you ready for the short science fiction story Alibi Jones: About Time? It's a done-in-one adventure on this episode of Glow-in-the-Dark Radio! Alibi's old high school flame Shirra - last seen in Blind Eye - returns with a mysterious little package... and a whole lot of trouble!

After the story there's a rundown of Alibi's timeline - what story takes place when - and included in that is the revelation of some previously unnanounced new stories and novels! Plus you'll hear a little from the Chronicles of Devrizium - the writings of Madone of the Devrizium - on the nature of time and its "passes". Lots of juicy bonus material!
