Wet Velvet

If you are a fan of the grotesque, of horror and downright toe curling nastyness then please check JOGLE supporter Mike Bennetts new web site and the delicious morsel of a story that is Wet Velvet. You will need to register at the web site to get Wet Velvet but having heard It I can tell you it is WELL worth the effort. Once registered you can also get all interactive and stuff chatting in the forums etc with Mike and folk like myself. See you there!

It should be pointed out that Wet Velvet is only for those of open mind and strong disposition.

There are also many free downloadable stories that don't need registration. From the full length novel, One Among The Sleepless to the short story series Hall of Mirrors. There is not one weak tale, they all have carved a place in my mind to come out and prey on my nerves at those times when you would least like them to.

Mike is also putting out a Magazine type podcast called Sometimes which involves a Non Mike Bennett short story, some music and some chatter. Also grade A material.

Seth Harwoods Helps "Shake Down" Alzheimer's

Seth Harwood gave us a mega plug in the latest episode of Jack Palms 3 . Seth is a super star podcaster and has now hit the big time with his first Jack Wakes Up novel being bought up by Crown publishing. So thank you big chunks Seth, that you could find time to mention our fund raiser in such detail. Here is a rather cool trailer for Jack Wakes Up:

PG Holyfield mentions our cause!

If you haven't yet checked out Murder At Avedon Hill you need a stiff talking too. It is quite simply the most immersing and absorbing podcast story out there. Beautifully written, acted and produced, PG and his star studded cast carry you away to a world of fantasy, vampires and murder mystery. This is the into from PG's site:

Lord Avedon has a problem. Generations of Avedons have watched over Avedon Hill and controlled the only pass through the Lantis Mountains. Traditions are important to the Avedon family, but one tradition has tragically come to an end. Gretta Platt, Housemistress of Avedon Manor, has been murdered. A member of the Platt family has always served the Avedons as Housemistress… until now.Only a handful of people live at Avedon Hill, and most are suspects. Arames Kragen, retired Aarronic Advisor and scholar of prophecy, arrives at the gates of Avedon Hill, hoping to gain access to the mountain pass. Lord Avedon is not in a giving mood, however…This is the story of Arames Kragen and his attempt not only to discover who killed Gretta Platt, but also to uncover the truth about a town that apparently has more secrets than inhabitants.

In his latest episode (21) PG is good enough to soil his master piece by plugging our efforts to raise money for Alzheimer's. Many thanks PG!

Big thanks to Scott Sigler The FDO™

Big shot No1 best selling author Scott Sigler mentioned us on his latest podcast. He has encouraged all his Junkies to drop by and insult us. Seems like they are all too polite though.

If somehow you are not familiar with Scott Sigler he is well worth checking out. Scott was one of the pioneers of podcasting novels and has definately taken it further than anyone else.


He writes horror fiction novels that mostly have a hard science slant to them. There are usually tentacles and monsters and always lots and LOTS of violence. So far Scott has podcasted the following books:

Earthcore, Ancestor, Infected, The Rookie and Nocturnal. In addition to this Scott has podcast some of his short stories in his Bloodcast feed. All are available to download for FREE. They are not free because they are no good oh no. In fact his horror fiction is right up there amongst the most gripping and involving I have ever read. Find out more about Scott here.

We have the support of Beta Clone #000!

Author of the Über successful podcast Novel trilogy 7th Son , JC Hutchins, has also agreed to give us a plug in his next podcast!

7th Son chronicles the story of seven strangers who are assembled after the assassination of the U.S. president. They quickly discover they all appear to be the same man ... with identical childhood memories.

Unwitting participants in a human cloning experiment, these "John Michael Smiths" have been assembled to catch the man who murdered the president. Their target? The man they were cloned from; the original John Michael Smith, code-named John Alpha. Check out the promo below.

JC is also podcasting his Ultracreatives Interview series where he interviews some of the most talented and influential people in new media. JC used to be a journalist and has a great interviewing style, really pulling the most out of his subjects. Well worth a listen.
