"And Then Some," the opening episode of
The Kaslo Chronicles, my science-fantasy novel now being serialized in
Lightspeed Magazine
, is also the main fiction in the latest edition of
StarShip Sofa's podcast.
The narrator is Barry J. Northern, whose accent belies his name by being definitely from the south of England. That makes the podcast an interesting experience for me, because the voices I hear in my head when I'm writing Kaslo episodes (I've done five so far) come straight out of 1940s American noir -- Humphrey Bogart, Van Heflin, Dan Duryea -- with that flat, mid-west intonation. Hearing it done in "English" English adds a dfferent element.
I was quite taken with it.
