I, Universe audiobook in production. Start listening now!

Rather than wait until I’ve narrated all 120,000 words (faint!), I’m going to release the audiobook, chapter by chapter, as quickly as I can record it, likely at a rate of one or two chapters per week. There are thirty-three in total.

Initially, the audiobook will be a Patreon exclusive product, as a series of MP3 files which can be played from the site or downloaded to your portable device. Making a pledge of as little as $1 per month will give you access to everything: https://www.patreon.com/darrylsloan

The book’s introduction and first chapter are publicly available, no strings attached, to give everyone a taster. Chapter two is ready and waiting for patrons, and I’ll be uploading chapter three later today.

In a few months, when the work is done, I will look into other forms of distribution, such as the popular Audible service. But why wait?

Zombie Genocide for your Halloween viewing pleasure

Happy Halloween, folks. Here’s a little seasonal gift for you. Zombie Genocide is the first of six films that I made with Andrew Harrison (as Midnight Pictures) between the years 1991 and 2005.

It was hard making a film on a shoestring budget at a time when our home computers didn’t even possess hard drives. No digital gunshots, no digital blood spatters. Nothing was easy, not even the editing, which had to be done on the camcorder, shot for shot, as we filmed. But the joy of the work was its uniqueness; in the early 1990s almost no one was making movies as a hobby. We persevered for two and a half years to make this, and the result is a little homegrown horror flick that has a strange charm.

Official trailer for I, Universe

I spent some time over the past month putting my video editing skills to use in the creation of a trailer to help promote my book. A lot of book trailers are little more than image slideshows, but I wanted to aim a lot higher and craft something professional. Here’s the result. Please share!

Author of the Month at the Graham Hancock website

I’ve been selected as Author of the Month for June 2019, on Graham Hancock’s website. The administrator asked me to contribute a 2,000-word essay. I could have extracted something directly from “I, Universe,” but decided to write something new instead. You can read it here: Rediscovering Magic Through Science.
