A short film that filmmaker Jim Evans made from my New Black Mask short story, “Some Jobs Are Simple,” has been accepted at the Big Apple Film Festival in NYC! It will screen at Tribeca Cinemas sometime between November 2nd and 6th — I’ll post the date and time here when scheduled. Congrats, Jim! Check out Jim’s website here and at the bottom of the page…

Chet Williamson meets Michael Moorcock…and audiobooks ensue…

I’ve been fortunate enough to be asked to record not only audiobooks of my own work for Crossroad Press and Springbook Audio, but the work of some other writers as well. I’m proud to announce that the first of these projects is now available: Michael Moorcock’s unabridged Blood: A Southern Fantasy.

My “A Lover’s Alibi” $.99 audio at MPformance!

MPformance.com has brought out its first non-Andrew Vachss story, my own horror/noir tale, “A Lover’s Alibi,” read by myself. It’s only $.99 for the 24-minute downloadable MP3 audio file, which contains music, ambient sound and effects. The story first appeared in Twilight Zone Magazine, and I’m anxious for everyone to hear it. A good story that’ll make your commute shorter, for one-third the price of a bad latte…

Digital Doings: Soulstorm, Ash Wednesday, Lowland Rider & more…

In the past couple of months, I’ve turned into Digital Guy! I started off by recording several stories by Andrew Vachss as digital downloads for MPformance, then hooked up with David Niall Wilson’s Crossroad Press.

David has done three of my novels in e-book form: Ash Wednesday (the first time the complete version has ever appeared, with the final chapter that was deleted from the Tor edition), Lowland Rider, and Soulstorm. The first two of these are also available in Amazon’s Kindle Store (Soulstorm will be soon), and all are available from most other e-book dealers as well. I’ve also recorded unabridged audiobooks (as downloadable MP3s) of both Ash Wednesday and Lowland Rider, and I’ve just started to record Soulstorm, which should be finished in a few weeks. The e-book is included free with the audiobook. I’ll be doing as many of my backlist books with Crossroad Press as possible, and possibly some new material as well.

My “Gandhi at the Bat” at Michael Moore’s Traverse City Film Fest!

Stephanie Argy & Alec Boehm’s wonderful short film, “Gandhi at the Bat,” adapted from my New Yorker short story, will be appearing at Michael Moore’s Traverse City Fim Festival this Saturday night (July 31st).  It’ll be the short subject preceding the showing of Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade in a huge outdoor venue. Wish I could be there, but I’ll have to trust Steph and Alec to hold the fort!

The film has had quite a healthy life, and has received a special award for filmmaking excellence from the Baseball Hall of Fame, the Eastman Kodak Award for Best Narrative Short at the IACC Film Festival, and many other awards and prizes. Here’s the film’s website: http://tinyurl.com/2wjsc94
