Ariel Palooza Promo (Right click, retweet, download, and experience.)
If you are a podcaster and enjoyed the experience of Ariel Palooza, I encourage you to download the promo and play it in your next podcast. I had 25 or so promos throughout the four days and enjoyed promoting everyone’s work. While I couldn’t have all the individuals named, I did strive to have quite a few singled out. It is close to 2 minutes for a promo, and it would have been shorter if I hadn’t gone for the radio station/music festival vibe; not that I regret the end result mind you. The real stand out performance is done by my voice over guy, Jace Edwards. Besides being my inspiration for wanting to get into the broadcasting field, he is top-notch talent, one of the politest guys you will ever meet, and enjoys what he does on a daily basis. He took my short pass and managed to turn it in for an awesome 50yd touchdown
play.
If you use the promo, I want you to do a few things. First, be sure to link to www.AstralAudio.net. Second, email me so I know you used the promo and can thank you. And finally, email Jace telling him who you are, if you liked the promo, or if you want him to do any voice over work for you.

About Crescent
“Crescent is the last stop at the intergalactic crossroads of gritty sci-fi and pucker-inducing horror.” –Scott Sigler, New York Times bestselling author of Contagious
“Crescent is the ultimate sci-fi / horror mashup. It’s a wicked blend of the claustrophobia seen in Ridley Scott’s Alien, and the viral demonology of Carpenter’s Prince Of Darkness with the hard-drinkin’ bad attitude of Battlestar Galactica added for good measure. The future has never been so frightening. Phil Rossi brings it.” –J.C. Hutchins, author of Personal Effects: Dark Art and 7th Son: Descent
“Phil Rossi has crafted a space station tale with sex, horror, and vibrant attention to tech and human detail. Evocatively served, highly recommended.” —Paul Levinson, author of The Plot to Save Socrates
Summary:
Darkness has inspired fear since mankind first watched the sun go down. Bad things hide in the dark feral beasts with mouths full of razors waiting for
a taste of flesh. But now, the darkness is stirring with a life of its own. Crescent Station is the last bastion of civilization, floating in the cold, outer systems where colonized space gives way to the sparser settlements of the Frontier. Like the boom towns of distant Earth’s Old American West, Crescent Station is a gateway to power, wealth, and opportunity for anyone who isn’t afraid to get his or her hands dirty. But deep within the station’s bowels, in Crescent’s darkest and most secret places, an ancient evil is awakening and hungry, and it threatens the very fabric of space and time. Will the residents of Crescent Station find a way to stop it before the terror drives them insane? Or is it already too late?
Tomorrow is the Amazon rush, and Astral Audio Productions wants you to be a part of history. July 9, 2009 is when you can buy the book. Watch the trailer below, and come back tomorrow when I will give you the link to hit the charts!

I found this fascinating quote today (via C.C Chapman) since it highlights what we mentioned in a previous post:
I was fortunate enough to get an advance copy of Personal Effects: Dark Art which will hit store shelves in a couple of weeks. While I love my Kindle, it is books like this that insure that printed books are never going to go away. You’ll have to pick up a copy to see what I mean, but the whole style and printing is as much a part of the story as the written words are. Trust me and order a copy today.Personal Effects: Dark Art, May 2009
You should read the whole article.

Several weeks ago, I appeared as a guest with the Back Seat Producers. In the episode just released today, we discussed horror at length. So to the people who may be coming from that . . . experience, welcome. I had a blast being on there and look forward to going back as often as they will permit.

August 9th update. They peaked at 48 and 58 respectively and are now still in the good standing as far as the genre rankings go. We are definitely calling yesterday’s run a success; we want people to keep buying books. The longer they get exposure; the better things will look in the publisher’s eyes. Great work so far Pip and Tee; you have done it!
