Alien Beer – Rosedale Pub – Genius Loci
Surprise! This isn’t a bonus episode, but this is usually an off week for the Alien Beer Podcast. Next week, on May 15th, 2021, the last episode of The Multiverse Blues will air. On that same day, the paperback and ebook versions of that saga will be released on Amazon! So, to get you ready for the transition to a new story, I thought I’d air this, the first episode of Rosedale Pub.
Rosedale is a pub between the worlds, a liminal place where travelers from anywhere in the multiverse may res...

Pre-order The Multiverse Blues for Kindle!
Reserve your copy today! I’ve been telling the story of The Multiverse Blues science fiction serial on my podcast for over a year, and now you can own the whole thing on your Kindle! The ebook will release on the same day the very last episode airs on the Alien Beer Podcast, May 13, 2021.
There will also be a paperback book, but it’s still being laid out in preparation for printing. I hope to have it release the same day, but I have no way to take pre-orders for physical books.

Trans Witch *Audiobook* in the works with Danielle Muething!
I’m super excited to announce that Trans Witch will be an audiobook, and even more excited that I’ve convinced voice talent Danielle Muething to produce it! Danielle won me over with her work with R.J. Sullivan‘s books. I was especially pleased with her great portrayal of the rascally Transit King, a favorite character who makes an appearance in Trans Witch!
Alien Beer – Ch 24 – The Multiverse Blues – They’re Red Hot
Characters are people too! At least, inside my mind, they are. When I bring characters from one story into another, I find that I still have a mental model of that character pretty much ready to use, even if it seems strange to put them in a new situation cold. It’s been fun to have Lee and Dionne from my other novel, Reality Check, appear in The Multiverse Blues, even if they’re not the main characters this time around.
In this chapter of The Multiverse Blues, Jules meets up with old friend...

The Multiverse Blues is done! (kinda)
The crew of Hope’s TourIt’s been a year in the making, but I’ve finished the first draft of the final chapter of The Multiverse Blues!
Including this one, there are a total of 4 more chapters yet to air on my Alien Beer Podcast, so it’ll be a month before you get to listen to it.
Next step is to edit the chapters and then I’ll publish it as a book in print and ebook form!
It’s not a direct sequel to Reality Check, but it’s certainly in the same multiverse, and the two books share a ...

Funky ’70s Science Fiction! (guest appearance on Geeking in Indiana)
I had fun as a guest on Geeking in Indiana: Social Sci-Fi recently! Click on their logo to hear me talk with Lizz and Melissa about a few science fiction movies from the ’70s that show what kind of anxieties were prominent in that decade!

Video interview! I’m on Cincinnati Cabinet of Curiosities Hometown Haunts!
“Tonight! We talk to author E. Chris Garrison about her novel Trans Witch, a most excellent alternative to the book series that should not be named that has a magical college and a library with a labyrinth, secrets doors, and everything.
We also geek out about games, Kat and Chrissy’s ghost hunting adventures, and get a hometown haunt from someone currently working at Kings Island. So. many. ghosts.
Listen at midnight!”
