There’s a new, excellently-read podcast of my short story “Captain Blood’s B00ty” story over on Starship Sofa today. Give it a listen and let me know what you think.
This story previously appeared in the Shimmer pirate issue, edited by John Joseph Adams.
I’m sorry things have been so quiet around here lately. I just don’t have much to say right now. Soon though.

It’s Friday, so a new Sofanauts podcast is up. This week’s guests are Damien G. Walter and Mary Robinette Kowal (and as usual, myself). This week, we talk about the Steampunk Tales iphone app, Dr. Roundbottom, and lots of other fun stuff. Check it out.
Hard to believe I’ve done 10 of these things.

StarShipSofa has posted a podcast of my story from Federations, “The Culture Archivist.” Ray Sizemore did a great job on the narration, I thought.
This is my take on what if the Star Trek Federation were actually capitalist bastards. With a little AI lolcat humor mixed in here and there. Take a listen.

I need to understand more about how people interact with podcasts, now that I’m editing for one. I have some questions that I’d like to ask you all.
I’m just trying to understand how people inteact with podcasts a little more. I have my own pre-formed theories, but they’re not based on anyone’s reality except my own. Ostensibly, answers to these questions will help me make Escape Pod an even better podcast than it already is.
By they way, let me just say, we’re a paying market, but we can’t pay without the support of our listeners. If you regularly listen to Escape Pod and enjoy its content, please consider making a donation via PayPal. Much like NPR, we’re funded by the listeners.
And of course, if you’re a writer, I want to see your stories. Read our submission guidelines and send your work along!
This week, I purchased stories by: Kameron Hurley, Merrie Fuller, Ian Creasey, David Rivera, Ian McHugh, Tina Connolly, and more. As an editor, I don’t have any agenda other than to find stories that I think are good that will also make good audio productions. I think we have some great stories coming up for the listeners. I hope they and you will agree.
Hi! My name is Jeremiah Tolbert, but call me Jeremy. I am a writer, photographer, and web designer currently living in Northern Colorado, seeking either freelance web design work or fulltime employment. Drop me a line if you have any questions, comments, advice, or heckles. I love hearing from new people. If you’re inclined, you can follow me on Twitter, where I share various links and talk about the same things I talk about here, only with fewer characters.
The structure and nature of short stories haven’t really changed in the digital age, as far as I can tell. They’re still told the same way mostly, same perspectives, in roughly the same amount of time ( around 3-7000 words). E-zines are for the most part straight forward adaptations of the print magazine format, to [...]
Since I started getting serious about photography, I have followed a relatively predictable pattern. As soon as there has been snow on the ground, I have quit shooting for the year. I hate snow, I hate the cold, and I have never found winter to be an inspiring time for any of [...]
As a designer, I’m always stumbling across useful resources and tools online, but for whatever reason, I find fewer tools that really exist to help make writers’ lives easier. That doesn’t mean they aren’t out there. It just means you have to dig a little deeper. Today, I thought I would share some tools that [...]
At least in the science fiction community, there’s a lot of false community wisdom floating around about the editorial process. Some of them may have been true once. Some were probably invented to mess with the heads of noobs. Some of them are carefully nutured lies, like Santa Claus and the Easter Bunny. Well, no [...]
That seems like an unusual idea, doesn’t it? That wielding a camera to capture single moments in time really has anything valuable to add to the process of writing stories? But it has, I think. Each time I pick up the camera, I think about writing, and each time I write, I think about [...]
