Stay in your homes… Your government is in control…

JC Hutchins new media marketing madman, podcaster and author of the most successful podcast novel series in history has a new project:

In 7th Son the United States fell victim to a coordinated terrorist attack. Power stations across the country were destroyed, and the U.S. plummeted into a country-wide blackout. In the timeline of the trilogy, this blackout occurred in mid-November 2007.

While this blackout was described in the trilogy, the story never focused on its true victims: average Americans.

7th Son: OBSIDIAN does just that.

Author J.C. Hutchins has recruited the seven biggest names in podcast fiction to write seven short stories set during this national crisis. Podfic fans know these names:

  • Scott Sigler (author of Infected, Earthcore, Ancestor, The Rookie)
  • Michael A. Stackpole (New York Times bestselling author of Fortress Draconis)
  • Tee Morris (author of MOREVI: The Chronicles of Rafe and Askana, and Billibub Baddings and the Case of the Singing Sword)
  • Mur Lafferty (author of Playing For Keeps, and the acclaimed Heaven audionovella series)
  • Matt Wallace (award-winning author of The Failed Cities Monologues, and Variant Frequencies stories)
  • Mark Yoshimoto Nemcoff (author of Shadow Falls, Number One With A Bullet, Diary of a Madman and Transistor Rodeo)
  • Christiana Ellis (author of Nina Kimberly the Merciless and Space Casey)
No podcast author has ever opened his universe in this way, for a true audiofiction anthology. And no author has ever assembled such an all-star cast.

During the blackout the US government put up 14 propaganda posters to keep calm among the citizens if America. Click on the pic below and you will be whisked to JC's blog where you can find links to hi def versions of all of the magnificent posters below

The posters are spread across different sites so you will have to search for you favourite!

JC master of the cliffhanger has been cliffhangering the JOGLERS teasing us with when he will give us a plug. The exciting news is in! The next episode JC puts out he has promised to do the deed and give us some plug love as he puts it. :-) Thanks JC!
