would you like to start something new and rebel against the norm

Season 5, Ep 2

I’m collaborating with Tiffany C. Lewis from Rebellion Lit. They are publishing there first annual anthology. If you are a fiction writer and would like to be paid for your work please submit your short story, also we’ll be selecting stories from the anthology to be converted into an audio drama and played on the podcast.

Below is some of the instructions for submitting your original short story, the complete details is on rebellionlit.com Submission ends on November 15th, 2022

Our first anthology! This is the start of an amazing relationship with a few good authors. It’s the start of our traditional, annual, anthology project.

It’s the start of something riotous, because we are only looking for stories that rock us to the core.

The theme for our first anthology is “The Start”.

We are looking for works that bring a new light to new beginnings. Our first kiss with a twist. Our first unlawful arrest. Our first botched magic spell. Our first political cover up. Our first murder.

Hey, we all have to start somewhere.

What we’re looking for:

All fiction genres

Stories that REBEL in some way

Authentic artists who want to be paid for their work but aren’t in it for the money (We ARE paying, btw)

Super Short Stories (1,500 or less)

Short Stories (1,500 – 10k)

What we’re not looking for:

Non-Fiction. We’re not ready for that quite yet.

Full erotic stories. Heavy petting is cool, but not too many details…

Poetry. We’re planning a full anthology for that. One moment, please!

Anything that can get you or us arrested.

Anything that is legal but will ruin our reputation.

Payment

The publisher will contract for publishing rights. First rights are NOT required but preferred. Authors will receive no royalties for book sales but will receive a semi-pro rate for the contracting of your work as well as 2 copies of the anthology for personal use upon its release.

The Enforcer is wanted by the State as he travels through the Wasteland with a screaming, dirty and hungry Suzy by his side.

Season 5, Episode 1

Written by: Samaritan Dark  Twitter @Samaritandark 

We return to the post apocalyptic world where humanity’s fate relies in the hands of a rogue Enforcer. 

Even though the Enforcer is mechanical and his mind is a system of AI components he understands that humans are sacred. 

He travels with Suzy through the Wasteland doing his best to protect her. By doing this he’s defying his basic programming and the authority of the State. 

We could all learn from the Enforcer, some government rules are immoral and go against the human soul. 

Too often we’re programmed and refuse to think for ourselves, whatever our leaders dictate we fall in line like trained seals. 

As fellow citizens of Earth we need to speak clearly, boldly and passionately before all of our freedoms are stripped away.

I only have 60 seconds before the angry mob breaks the glass and drags my body from the phone booth.

This is my attempt to create a show trailer. Some professional podcasters told me this is a good idea to attract more listeners but while I was recording I transported to 1985.

The new season is arriving later on this year along with a new name, Welcome To Earth Stories.

Do not adjust your channel, the show will be on the same feed but with a brand new cover.

As you know I enjoy alien invasions, high speed car chases, and post apocalyptic worlds. Romance was never my thing until now.

You may accuse me of having a typical male brain, whatever that means. But I’m not one dimensional, I do like the softer things in life such as puppies and rainbows. 

However romance novels were never my thing. I always thought of them as too sappy, too mushy, but when I read Elevated Inferno by Carlotta Ardell it changed my mind. 

For one it’s not mushy and two it’s not sappy. It’s probably because the author is a Robotics Engineer so she doesn’t get lost in emotional dribble.

Yeah that’s right my special guest designs robots. How cool is that? Why would a Doctor in Robotics write a romance novel?

Have you thought of creating your own podcast but can’t be bothered with all the technical stuff. If you want to record and have someone else worry about the compression, the leveling, the sound clips and music then I’m your guy.

I’ve been sound designing successful  shows such as Most Precious Commodity and Beta Reader Bits. Currently I have two spots available.

Many stories are distorted or forgotten by the machinery of time, on this bonus episode Author Brent Stark speaks of the unbelievable story of a tribe you may never have heard of.

Off Season

Episode is written by Brent Stark including the below synopsis

Some people claim the site that sits at the foot of the Appalachian Mountains is so beautiful and serene that it reaches up and touches the face of God. It’s a place covered with lush, green forests where crystal blue streams rush down the majestic hillsides, refreshing the land’s inhabitants.

But, on the other hand, some call it the saddest location in Ohio. Why? What happened here so long ago? Why haven’t many heard about this tragic location? Make sure you tune in to learn about the bravery and faith displayed by those in the Houses of Grace.

The so-called “lived experience” what does it mean and why should we care.

Off Season Episode

There’s always a new catch phrase hot off the assembly line that people use and abuse without measure.

Case in point, “lived experience. “On this behind the scenes episode we’ll see if this is a blessing or curse for writers.
