The Colour out of Space Episode 3 ... (Ep 2 was on Ep 1, remember?)

I've just posted Episode 3 of H.P. Lovecraft's The Colour out of Space in my public feed (and yes, I know the last episode was called Episode 1, so it looks like there's no Episode 2, but Episode 2 was on the podcast of Episode 1, so you've had Episodes 1 and 2, it just doesn't look like it when you see them on your phone or iPod ... but 2 is there, on Episode 1) (phew!) Click here to listen / download direct.


There's also news about the Amazon Kindle freebie of Disturbing the Devil, and the Podiobooks release of Blood and Smoke. Huzzah!!


Disturbing the Devil on Kindle - for FREE!!

Underwood and Flinch: Disturbing the Devil is now available as an ebook for Amazon Kindle. And for the next five days (starting today, 28th Sept), you can get a copy for FREE!! All I ask in return is that you please leave 5 stars at the Amazon store you buy it from (and maybe add a few kind words, if you have time). This will help the book fare better with readers who are unfamiliar with the world of Underwood and Flinch. It would also be mega-awesome if you could share the book on Facebook, Twitter, Goodreads, etc. Many thanks!!



Here's the blurb:
February 1863, and the newly opened Metropolitan Railway is the toast of London. Among the travellers tonight are the vampire, Lord Underwood, and his guardian, Ben Flinch. But they aren't travelling alone, for Underwood and Flinch have been discovered by a group intent on their destruction.

Disturbing the Devil is a journey into the smoky depths of the Victorian Underground; a stand-alone short story in the Underwood and Flinch universe, written by four-time Parsec Award-winning author, Mike Bennett. Expect blood.

Here are the links:

Disturbing the Devil UK

The book was available as a pay-to-download audiobook for the last year, but has now been withdrawn in readiness for its release on the audiobook platform, Audible.com. I've submitted it to Audible but it takes about ten to fourteen days for them to give it a green light (or a red one *gulp!*). Needless to say, when it does go live, I'll let you know. This will be my first Audible release, so I'm interested to see how well it fares. It could lead to a whole new audience, which is an exciting prospect. Huzzah!!
