Jim Kelly's Free Reads

Back on track (I hope!).
After various misadventures, which you, patient listeners, are all too well aware of, here at last is Part Three of "The Wreck of the Godspeed." It was first published in a Science Fiction Book Club anthology called BETWEEN WORLDS. For those of you who've forgotten (it's been a while, I know) we continue with a brief discussion of Adel's award winning essay and move on from there. Time: 25:03 File Size: 17.2mb
Mea culpa, mea culpa, mea maxima culpa.

Here's Part One of my 2004 novella "The Wreck Of The Godspeed" which was first published in a Science Fiction Book Club anthology called BETWEEN WORLDS, which is probably why you've never heard of it. This is a long one! Time: 21:59 File Size: 15.1mb Please don't forget my for pay projects, which help keep this podcast going! I'm on Audible with two novels new to audio Wildlife and Look Into the Sun along with the venerable StoryPod collections 1.0, 2.0, 3.0 and 4.0 and over in Digital Printland, there are five issues of Strangeways on Kindle and Nook. And brand new in fine bookstores (almost) everywhere DIGITAL RAPTURE: THE SINGULARITY ANTHOLOGY edited by yours truly and John Kessel, from Tachyon Publications.

So yeah, this one is late, as I expected. I actually had it ready to go late Friday, but decided to hold off since nobody checks these things on the weekend. Here then is Part One of "Crazy Me" which was first published on Tor.com in May, 2011. This short story is a two parter. Time: 19:06 File Size: 13.2mb
Just for the sake of change, I think I'll switch the Free Reads posting date from Wednesday/Thursday to Monday/Tuesday. Okay?

File size: 15.6mb. As long as you're in a James Patrick Kelly state of mind, do you know about my Strangeways ezine for Nook and Kindle? Two stories and two essays in every issue for only a buck!
