    Lovestory Part Three

    Lovestory Part Three

    Here is Part Three, the last part, of "Lovestory," which was first published in Asimov's Science Fiction Magazine in June, 1998.  Time:  26:51 File Size: 18.5mb I'm off for a short vacation to the lovely (cold) state of Maine, so Free Reads may be late again next week.  Please bear with me! 

    Lovestory Part Two

    Lovestory Part Two

    Here's your special Hurricane Sandy edition of the Free Reads Podcast.  As I type this, the storm rages just outside my window.  But a mere Frankenweather event isn't going to keep me from bringing you Part Two of Lovestory, which was first published in Asimov's Science Fiction Magazine.  Time: 24:44 File Size: 17.0 For those batten down the hatches moments that seem to creep into all of our lives, might I recommend some of my other work?  Say the novels and short stories that await you on Audible.com?  Or how about the new anthology DIGITAL RAPTURE,the Singularity Anthology, from Tachyon Press?

    Lovestory Part One

    Lovestory Part One

    I'm back after an unscheduled week of podcasting vacation.  Here is Part One of "Lovestory" which was first published in Asimov's Science Fiction Magazine in June, 1998.  This one is a little different: it's all aliens, all the time.  Time: 21:04  File Size: 14.5mb

    The Wreck of the Godspeed Part Eight (the last part)

Or not. Time:  21:37 File size: 14.9mb

    The Wreck of the Godspeed Part Seven

    The Wreck of the Godspeed Part Six

    The Wreck of the Godspeed Part Six

    We are getting very near the end of "The Wreck of the Godspeed" here with Part Six.     Not a lot happens for most of this episode until the end and then ... big doings!  Time:  23:40  File Size: 16.3mb Sorry to keep harping on this, but I would love it if you could buy a really cool new anthology:  DIGITAL RAPTURE, THE SINGULARITY ANTHOLOGY  edited John Kessel and ... well ... me.  It features stories and essays about our potential post-human futures.  All hail our robot overlords!

James Kelly is Living Legend

Most of the writers of his quality are long dead and gone. He’s a special and rare treat. Everything he writes is fun, entertaining, intelligent and wonderfully weird.

Instant Fan!!!

Let's just say I opened up the first podcast to "see" if it was something that could keep my attention and found myself sitting entranced for nearly an hour. Jim Kelly has a lovely cadence to his prose and a rich and mellow timbre to his voice whist reading. I am truly impressed by this podcast!

CieBird ,

I am so glad Kelly doesn't THINK LIKE A DINOSAUR...

and he does think like a great science fiction writer.
Write more please, or I will be forced to BURN my eyes and LOOK INTO THE SUN just to DIVIDE THE SUSTAIN of waiting for more of his work.
