I'm supporting this
Kickstarter with offers of signed copies of Swordspoint and The Privilege of the Sword - along with free copies of their audiobook downloads (so you can read along?).
Of course, what you really want is
Dion Graham (sexy St Vier in the Swordspoint audiobook) doing your answer machine message... ;)
This festival features many of the people I worked with on the
Riverside/Neil Gaiman Presents audiobooks - including the great Simon Jones & Barbara Rosenblat (who narrates the video) - plus
Delia Sherman's Audie-nominated Freedom Maze narrator,
Robin Miles.
"HEAR Now: The Audio Fiction and Arts Festival" is an outgrowth of the absolute best audio drama workshop I ever attended! Lucky Kansas City, to be getting such a festival, if it all works out - something you should know about if you're at all interested and in the area. I hear they're planning all sorts of cool stuff for the festival this summer - including appearances by -- well, shhhh! for now. But I do hope the project gets funded.
