[UPDATED] EARTH STATION ONE EPISODE 179 – SUMMER MOVIE ROUNDUP & FALL TV PREVIEW

I was on the set of the upcoming comedy horror film Fat Chance so I wasn't able to join my ESO co-hosts this week. I did send in my pick for most anticipated new show though.

As the ESO crew basks in the afterglow that was Dragon Con, we pause to remember the many films that appealed for our affections over the last four months and look ahead to the series (new and returning) that will be flying through the air as we sit back and relax with our colortinis this fall. With Jen Hartshorn and the award-winning author Bobby Nash on assignment, Mike Faber and Mike Gordon are joined by Ashley Bergner and Alex Aubrey for some screen talk, big and small. All this, plus the usual Rants, Raves, Khan Report, and Shout Outs!

Next week, the ESO crew dives back into the comic bin as we take a
look at the life and career of The King of Comics himself, Jack Kirby. It’s going to be a fantastic (pun intended) episode overflowing with Kirby Krackle, but we don’t stop there. We’ll have the usual assortment of Rants, Raves, Khan Report, The Geek Seat, Shout Outs, and so much more on the next exciting episode of Earth Station One.

Kirby fans, ESO wants to hear from you. Share your favorite Jack Kirby comic stories with us at www.esonetwork.com, esopodcast@gmail.com, Facebook, Twitter, or Google+. We love hearing from you. Who knows, we might just read yours on the show.

ALL RIGHT, YOU DUCKS! LINE UP!

Feeling reflective today, I guess. 

Time management has not been my greatest strength of late (if ever). With so much writing work on my plate it's time to change that. It might be time to step away from some side projects that, while fun, takes me away from actually writing. I do a lot of non-writing activities. I love them all and have fun with them, but I'm starting to fall behind in my writing work. 

Time to refocus and get back on track.

AND THAT'S A WRAP!

I'm here.I'm back! Just returned home from a wonderful experience working on the comedy/horror movie, Fat Chance in Alabama. I play Clark Wagner in the film. I had a great time and I miss the cast and crew already. I don't miss the heat, the humidity, the spiders, or the bugs though. Sadly, the heat and humidity followed me home to Georgia.

I can't share any photos as yet, other than the one to the right taken when I arrived on set. I'll post more when I can.

I'm rather fried. Playing catch up today before diving back into a couple of stories publishers are anxiously awaiting. It's going to be a very busy week.

OFFICIAL PRESS RELEASE:

September 5, 2013

For Immediate Release
RAVEN’S HEAD  PRESS
Contact: Michael Hudson
PH: 727-364-3068

RAVEN’S HEAD PRESS AND NOTED AUTHOR BOBBY NASH JOIN WITH AUTHOR AND GHOST HUNTER ALEXANDRA HOLZER TO DEBUT GHOST GAL PROSE SERIES

Raven's Head Press is proud to announce an exciting new series debuting in 2014.Noted author Bobby Nash and Raven Head Press’ Michael Hudson have agreed to develop Author and Ghost Hunter, Alexandra Holzer’s GHOST GAL as a fictional series of novels based on her exploits as a budding parapsychologist.

“GHOST GAL is neo pulp with a touch of gothic romance.”  says publisher Michael Hudson.  “We’re setting the series in the late 1950’s to early 1960’s to take advantage of the post World War II paranoia that was present as America was undergoing the McCarthy witch hunts, the fear of the atomic bomb, and the numerous representations of the alien invader that characterized the late twentieth century perceptions of 1950’s America.  Ghost hunters were plentiful but only one stood head and shoulders above all the rest. His name was Hans Holzer, the creator of the Holzer Method. This series centers around his headstrong but lovable daughter, Alexandra, who after college has just hung out her shingle to follow in her famed father’s footsteps as a paranormal investigator.  Of course this leads her into adventures far beyond the realm of belief. But how she solves various mysteries along with the help of her beloved father, mother and fiancé will provide plenty of chills, thrills and a treasure trove of character development. You are going to care about these characters."

“Alexandra and I have been talking about this project for several years now and the time is ripe to tell her story.  She will be writing a “true case file” as a foreword to each book in the series as well as working hand in hand with Bobby and me to develop these wonderful characters. We could not be happier in having Bobby Nash, the winner of Pulp Ark’s 2013 Best Author Award, as the one to helm this series. As Bobby and I discussed the premise or the series we found ourselves finishing each other’s sentences. For me this was a very good thing indeed. We know exactly who these characters are. It won’t be long before you will too!”

Alexandra Holzer says, “I was blessed with a truly unique, zany, and remarkable life story – one that I first depicted in my book Growing Up Haunted.  Can you imagine being raised as a little girl in Manhattan, living with a Ghost Hunter dad that spoke like Count Dracula, and an actual Russian Countess for a mother? I am convinced that no one else in the world has a life story similar to mine. My stories of the paranormal make for compelling tales, and I’m delighted that Raven’s Head Press has partnered with me to develop this new book series. I am not only excited but passionate about the GHOST GAL series, because much of her is who I am. She's family. Joining the “Ghost Gal Family” are two amazingly talented men who brilliantly embody neo-graphic tales both in writing and in depicting art to its fullest. It's pretty neat and humbling, to be immortalized in pen and ink!"

Bobby Nash had this to say about the new series. “When Raven’s Head Press head honcho, Michael Hudson first mentioned the idea behind Ghost Gal to me, I was hooked. By the end of our initial discussion, it was clear that we were on the same wavelength and the ideas began to flow. I love it when that happens.”
“I was honored when Michael and Alexandra Holzer entrusted me with helping to sculpt the amazing world of GHOST GAL. I hope our readers have as much fun with this one as I’m having writing it.”

About Alexandra Holzer:
Emerging publicly onto the Paranormal Scene in early 2005 as a writer first and foremost, Author and Paranormalist Alexandra Holzer, has also appeared on numerous film documentaries such as the 25th Anniversary of Poltergeist and Shattered Hopes: The True Story of the Amityville Murders. No stranger to the field of the unknown as her father, Dr. Hans Holzer, PhD, was the Modern Pioneer and Father of the Paranormal. Alexandra's published a few books, one of which, Growing up Haunted has been optioned for TV and film rights with award winning producers in Hollywood. She writes a monthly article based on her travels, meet and greets in the field for the popular holistic green zine, OM Times. Holzer has gone on investigations but feels that her expertise lies not just with haunted houses, places or people but also in getting 'impressions' and being 'sensitive' to her surroundings. This yielded a Psychic Paranormal Investigator aka Ghost Hunter who is also on the quest for the unknown with a sense of humor. She grew up haunted and therefore has known nothing else. She is the only second generation paranormalist blazing this type of a well-rounded, ghostly and occultist trail of the past, into the present and forward into the future. Currently Holzer lectures at events around the country and does investigations for groups teaching “The Holzer Method”. For further information, please visit www.alexandraholzer.com

EARTH STATION ONE EPISODE 178 – ESO LIVE AT DRAGON CON 2013

First, Mike Faber, Mike Gordon, Jen Hartshorn, and the award-winning author Bobby Nash put American Sci-Fi Classics in The Geek Seat with track director (and RevolutionSF co-host) Joe Crowe.

Then, we crash in on the Podcasting Track with friends of the station Jessa Phillips and Darren Nowell who help us strap track director Brian Dunaway in The Geek Seat. Both panels were tons of fun and we are extremely grateful to both tracks for including us in their programming.
