I somehow neglected to post this at the time, so in very belated news, Protophonic's audio adventure 'Brad Lansky and the 4D-Verse' won a well-deserved gold in last year's Mark Time awards:

A Foreign Shore published

A Foreign Shore: Clothes Make a Man (Volume 1) by Forrest Johnson is now available from Amazon. Check it out here: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/061581252X/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

The book description:

"When 16-year-old Raeesha ran away from Jasmine House to avoid a forced marriage to the cruel Amir Qilij, she didn't know she was running into the arms of foreign invaders. Nor did she expect that her simple disguise, as a boy, would become her permanent identity. Now, she finds herself enlisted in a cause not her own, drawn ever closer to the charismatic Gen. Singer, and into a world of battles, intrigues, desperate ventures, and wonders. See the book trailer: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=290vb3vaeAc"
