I’m taking a hiatus from podcasting while I recuperate from hip surgery; instead, I’ll be posting a couple stories a week from the podcast edition of my DIY short story collection, With a Little Help. I hope you enjoy ’em — I love how these readings came out. You can buy the whole audio on CD in Ogg or MP3 form, buy it in one of four paperback editions, get a limited edition hardcover, donate a copy to a school or library, make a cash donation, and, of course, get the free ebook and free audio download.

This installment’s story is Other People’s Money, read by Mur Lafferty.

Here’s the fourth and final installment of my reading of Charlie Stross’s and my gonzo Singularity novella Appeals Court. It’s the sequel to Jury Service, the first thing Charlie and I ever wrote together. We’re about to start work on Parole Board, the thrilling conclusion, which Tor will be publishing as a novel under the title Rapture of the Nerds, a title we nicked from the brilliant Ken MacLeod.

Here’s part 6, the conclusion of Jury Service. Jury Service is the first of two novellas Charlie Stross and I wrote about Huw, a technophobe stuck on Earth after the Singularity (the other one being Appeals Court). They are both being published, along with a third, yet-to-be-written novella Parole Board by Tor Books as Rapture of the Nerds. We’re starting work on Parole Board in January, and to refamiliarize myself with the earlier novellas, I’m going to podcast both now (with the gracious permission of Charlie and our editor, Patrick Nielsen Hayden). Hope you enjoy ’em – they’re as gonzo as I’ve ever gotten, I think!
