Day two of the 12 Days of Christmas www.viewfromthequad.comToday I have a signed copy of Billibub Baddings and the Case of the Singing Sword by Tee Morris.It is The Era of Prohibition, where crime runs rampant in the streets and a city divided into territories serves as the ultimate prize. Somewhere in this Underworld of Chicago, an enchanted weapon holds the key to ending The Gangland Wars. In the wake of The St. Valentines Day Massacre, only one is man enough to stand up against Al Capone…

…a four-foot-one dwarf named Billibub Baddings.

Show Topics

Hi to all you new people! Thanks for joining me. Just to let you know, I do not usually pronounce words weird, I just happen to have a cold at the moment which makes it hard to say various words. Not my fault, I SWEAR!

Heroes is going dark, as are many other shows. I read off a list of shows (which VFTQ listeners might be interested) and how many more episodes they have left until they run out of material. Sad stuff.

Help me interview Seth Harwood. What do you want me to ask? Email me with all your questions!

12 Days of Christmas news. I have two new confirmed prizes: A signed copy of the Flock of Dodos: The Evolution-Intelligent Design Circus documentary  and a signed copy of Crescent by Phill Rossi.

EDIT – 11/26/07 Added another prize to the list. Thanks Flockofdodos.com!

Hi there. Here is all the information about my new competition, the 12 Days of Christmas.

During the 12 days running up to the 25th, I aim to give out at least one *something* such as a book, album or t-shirt. Many of these items are signed. Here is the list of things which i KNOW I can give out so far. (Of course, If the person who is donating the prize does not get the prize sent to me, I can not give it out. But i doubt that anybody would do that.)

Only one of these prizes has a confirmed date attached, and all prizes may come in multiples. When I say “A copy of X” I could mean “3 copies of X”. I’m just not gonna tell you.

1. 25th of December, a copy of a Harry Potter book, signed by some of the cast of the next Harry Potter Film
2. A signed copy of Scott Sigler’s Ancestor – This book is now out of print, this is the only way you can get it.
3. A signed copy of Mur Lafferty’s Playing for Keeps.
4. A signed copy of Tee Morris‘s Expert Podcasting Practices for Dummies, Legacy of Morevi and BilliubBaddings and the Case of the Singing Sword (Not all on the same day of course)
5. A signed, Limited Edition, Pre Release copy of Seth Harwood’s Jack Wakes Up.
6. A signed album by George Hrab.M
7. A Playing for Keeps T-shirt from Geeklabel.com
8. A signed DVD of the Flock of Dodos documentary
9. A signed, limited edition copy of Crescent, the podiobook by Phill Rossi. This CD comes with full album artwork, and all the trimmings.

And more to be announced.

So, I hear you ask how you can win some of my great swag. All you have to do it subscribe to my podcast for free, using the little buttons over on the right hand side, (Click the “iTunes” button if you use iTunes and you will be subscribed automatically) or subscribe to my mailing list.

Good Luck, and let me know what you think of this contest!

Hi all you people.

I found this image, which I had sent to a few people i have under Non Disclosure Agreements, floating around on the internet. (The original version did not have the blurs, although it did have the watermarks. The blurs were added by whoever put this online.)
