Introducing Addictive Comics - Mark Hester

There’s no way I can top Scott’s bio from yesterday — so I’m not even going to try. 

Instead I think I will just post a couple of cool drawings.  The second one might be a taste of things to come!

Enjoy.

Our third partner, Tech Guy Paul, is on his honeymoon at the moment and we thought it best not to disturb him.  We’ll post his bio when we gets back.

Introducing Addictive Comics - Scott Sigler

Many of you may already know me.  I’ve already made dirty junkies out of you.  You’re addicted to Siglerism.  Now get ready to be hooked on my comics!

For those of you who are new to my world, here’s my modest bio (written in the 3rd person like a Football Player!  Hoo-ya!):Earthcore - The World's First Podcast Only Novel

Scott Sigler is the author of INFECTED and CONTAGIOUS, major hardcover thrillers from Crown Publishing. He landed his book deal by giving away multiple novels as free, serialized podcasts that generated a large online following and saw over 4 million downloads of the individual episodes.

Scott reinvented book publishing when he released EARTHCORE as the world’s first “podcast-only” novel. Released in twenty weekly episodes, EARTHCORE harkened back to the days of serialized radio fiction and picked up 10,000 subscribers along the way.

His next podcast novel, ANCESTOR, drew 30,000 listeners and saw 700,000 episodes downloadeAncestor - Watch for it!d by fans. The buzz caused Sirius Satellite Radio to pick up the novel, making it the first audiobook serialized on the satellite network. When ANCESTOR was released in print from a small independent publisher, it hit #7 overall on Amazon.com despite no marketing, no advertising and no media coverage. 

Scott’s innovative use of technology puts him at the forefront of modern-day publishing, and has garnered brand-name exposure among hundreds of thousands of fiction fans and technology buffs. He’s been covered in the New York Times, NPR, Washington Post, San Francisco Chronicle, Entertainment Weekly, Publisher’s Weekly, The Huffington Post, Business Week and Fangoria.

Scott is responsible for many inventions, including podcasting, the Internet, and the internal combustion engine. And trees, those were his. Okay, so he worked with Al Gore on the Internet, but Scott did most of the work. He made his first podcast in 1978. It is a well-known fact that he has podcast every Sunday, without fail, since that time (with the exception of Super Bowl Sundays, which Scott claims as the ultimate holy day).

Scott is 6-foot-10, can juggle four kittens and can hop on one leg for, like, over 10 minutes without falling over. That’s rad. Don’t lie to me, you know it’s rad, you just don’t want to look uncool in front of your friends. Fine, Mister Cool Guy, go ahead and act disinterested.

We know you’ll be back.

Important Email Signup Info

The Email Signup Box seems to be having a spot of trouble. 

The Doctor wrote a comment just a few minutes ago to let me know that this was happening.  Thank you, Doctor, for the head’s up. 

It looks like the service we use — Aweber — is down.  Strange.  Mark has used them for 2 years now on The Weekend Grillers and has NEVER seen them go down.  They are usually as reliable as Google
 
I hope it’s nothing serious. 

HERE’S THE DEAL

If you don’t see the Email Signup Box to the left and want to sign up, please check back in a bit.   I’m sure it won’t be long. 

ALSO check the very bottom of the page.  Some XP users have reported finding it there.  Mark’s Mom for one.  Wonder if she signed up?

Also, when you do signup, check your email very carefully.  If your signup was successful, you WILL get an email from us asking you to confirm.  No email = no signup.

Thanks for your patience and understanding.

Mark & Scott
