“Forthcoming” has almost arrived

I confess, impatience got the better of me.  So I queried the asst. editor at Escape Pod to find out whether the “forthcoming” on my bibliography was a perpetual status.  It seems not.  He confirmed that “Chasers” is slated for air later this month. 

It was February when I found out EP was going to give my 2004 story “Chasers” the audio treatment.  (That’s a story from 2004, not about 2004.)  This space operatic story has long been a favorite of at least one of my beta readers.  It’s a colonization story.  It’s a mining story.  It’s a space ship story.  But more than anything, it’s a story about Darwinian competition in interplanetary economics.  No, it’s mostly about guys in space ships going really fast.   

And yes, “Chasers” is in Baker’s Dozen.

I’ll be sure to plug the heck out of the Escape Pod issue when the time draws closer.  I can’t wait to hear it!  If you can’t wait, you can listen to the EP recording of “Leech Run” right now.
