Tea & Erk

Hi all,

Due to an epic software fail I have been unable to record an episode of Tea & Chat this week.The microphone works fine in Skype but not in Audition. I’m going to reinstall everything and hope that’ll fix it. Fingers crossed.

Fear not though, as Erk of Erkpod has come to the rescue. Having featured me on Echo Romeo Kilo One One (Erk’s NaPodPoMo podcast) he has sent me the episode to post here. I hope you all enjoy this slight change to our regular programming. Tea & Chat shall return next week!

Thanks Erk!

NaNo Oh No!

One day until NaNoWriMo starts! I’m not ready, really!

I have an idea, a name, a rough outline and I even have a cover but this is going to be quite an experience. One month, 50,000 words, 24 chapters (I think). It’s not that many words really  but still…

Anybody else out there WriMoing this year?

Check out the J.C Hutchins Widget…

…and maybe win me a nice t-shirt!

Hi all,

If you have a few minutes to spare I would really appreciate it if you clicked on the image below (or the picture in the sidebar) and gave the J.C Hutchins widget a try.

The widget has several audio promos for 7th Son and the more people who listen to them the better chance I have of winning myself a fancy t-shirt (not to mention spreading the word about the mighty 7th son). I’ve had to host the widget on my old livejournal as wordpress doesn’t allow flash

So if you can, give the promos a listen. Thank you very much for helping me out once again!
