Alien Beer Podcast – Ep 14 – Sweets and Strangers

Hope, Multiverse Diva

First, some announcements!

I’ve been teasing for a few weeks about giving you a look at what the alien diva Hope looks like. Well, wait no longer, I have posted my artist friend Kirsten Jacobus’s beautiful rendition of her on The Multiverse Blues page on my website! Just visit https://sillyhatbooks.com/tmb and click on the picture to expand it. You can see Kirsten’s other work on Deviantart at http://lunaseas.deviantart.com/

Ch 12. – The Multiverse Blues – Dead Shrimp Blues

Exploring a new place on your own can give you a feeling of independence and excitement. However, when that new place is an alternate dimension, and you run into people who are almost—but not quite—the same people you know back home, things can get a little dicey. In this episode of The Multiverse Blues, Jules gets to find out what impersonating themself in another life feels like. They also make a startling discovery.

Have you ever wondered what Hope, the alien singer in The Multiverse Blue...

Mean Spirit is out! The Tipsy Fairy Tales Trilogy is complete at last!

Ten years in the making, Skye MacLeod’s story, The Tipsy Fairy Tales, is finally ready for you to read! Indianapolis gamer girl Skye and her (sort of) fairy sister Minnie were separated into individuals by supernatural trauma, and now Skye can see into the fairy world — but only if she’s been drinking. Having one foot in another world gets her into all kinds of trouble, as she struggles to protect her friends and herself from grim threats only she can perceive.

Warring fairy Lords and Lad...

Alien Beer Podcast: Interview With Mariah Powell of Hobbies Include:Writing

https://alienbeer.podbean.com/e/interview-with-mariah-powell-of-hobbies-includewriting/

This week, we’ll be doing something a little different. I was invited to do a mutual interview with my fellow fiction podcaster, Mariah Powell, who is the host of Hobbies Include: Writing. It turned out our projects have a lot in common, so we decided to sit down and have a chat about what we’ve been up to, and why.

Rest assured, dear listeners, The Multiverse Blues will return next week, with a new epi...

Alien Beer Podcast – Seelie Goose

https://alienbeer.podbean.com/e/ep-13-seelie-goose/

I wrote this story in the summer of 2014 as a submission for, and was published in, the Seventh Star Press anthology, A Chimerical World: Tales of the Seelie Court. It is a tie-in to my Tipsy Fairy Tales series, between Blue Spirit and Restless Spirit. It takes place during the time when Skye was borrowed by R.J. Sullivan for his novel, Virtual Blue. I figured since Minnie didn’t make an appearance in that book, I wanted to write about her s...

Ch 11. – The Multiverse Blues – Honeymoon Blues

https://alienbeer.podbean.com/e/ch-11-the-multiverse-blues-honeymoon-blues/

Sometimes, you just need time to yourself, even when you’re in the best of company. In this episode of The Multiverse Blues, Jules takes a break from the crew of Hope’s Tour, venturing out to explore Delta Earth alone. Unexpected company has a way of turning up at the strangest of times. Which is why Jules finds themself visiting with someone from their past, and someone very familiar indeed. Will the call of even mor...

Alien Beer Podcast – Stranger Danger

https://alienbeer.podbean.com/e/ep-12-stranger-danger/

The Iron Writer Challenge, 2015 Summer Solstice Preliminary Round had some really weird elements. A time clock; ice cream; a parachute; told from POV of an alien on the planet Nibiru, as the Nibiru enters our solar system. Nibiru technology is not greater or worse than Earth’s. I’ll say, it was difficult to think of ways to connect the elements, and still make a story that didn’t sound completely random. I hope you enjoy what I came up wi...

Tipsy Fairy Tales: Blue Spirit



Tipsy Fairy Tales: Restless Spirit

Under new management

About half of my catalog of books is currently unavailable, as I’m having to republish my books under my Silly Hat Books imprint, as part of the Speculative Fiction Guild.

My Road Ghosts and Tipsy Fairy Tales are mostly unavailable, other than paperbacks bought directly from me, or used online, and I think the audiobooks are still up, and hopefully will be as they are transferred to me.

I’m in process of redoing layout and such to get them back in at least ebook format within a week or two...

Alien Beer Podcast – Ch 10 – The Multiverse Blues – Love in Vain

https://alienbeer.podbean.com/e/ch-10-the-multiverse-blues-love-in-vain/

Last time on The Multiverse Blues: Hope’s Tour travelled through the Arch linking Gamma Earth to Delta Earth. The crew debated what to do about the recent targeted attacks, and discussed Jules’ mysterious female double from Achse.

Now, as they pass into glitzy Delta Earth, the crew looks forward to staying in a luxury hotel, and a risky scheduled show before making their move to shake pursuit.
