Junkies. I hate to do this to you again, but looks like I'm going to postpone the finale of NOCTURNAL for a week or two. My father-in-law's ongoing hospital battle is taking a turn for the worse. The full story is in the MP3 linked above, as well as some big news about THE CRYPT, Julie Andrews and the anti-Siglerites mucking about on Amazon.com.

Here it is Junkies, forty-seven minutes of pure adrenaline, the second-to-last episode of INFECTED. As Conan once said, "Enough Talk!" Click the link and get busy.

FDO™ Note: In a truly amazing "sometimes I amaze even myself" moment of TechTardedness, I left out Chapters 73-76. That's right, I left them out. When I proofed the episode in the recording software, my eyes counted 77-88 all in nice sequential order, and my brain didn't throw up the "hey, fuck-o!" alert that I missed the first four chapters. Well, now the link has been corrected and gives you the full 56-minute, 14-chapter episode).

Pookie knows Bryan is wanted for the murder of Francis Parkmeyer, and the SFPD is en route to Robin Hudson's apartment. Will the cops find Robin in Bryan's arms? Police Chief Amy Zou has her own problems, trying to get Dimitri Vassiloff and Frank Lanza onboard the SS Jeremiah O'Brien -- if she doesn't, her daughters Tabz and Mur won't make it through the night. Aggie James can't shake the threats of Hillary; he'll do whatever it takes to avoid the dreaded Groom's Walk. And yes, Junkies, it's the return of Mister Biz-Nass.

Scott on Internet Superstar: Martin Sargent grills the FDOClick here to watch Scott's
interview on Internet Superstar

I have pulled yet another coup, landing some sweet, high-quality video that I didn't have to produce. Again. Yes, I'm impressed with myself, but what's new?

I look particularly corpse-like in this one. I also sound like a moron in several places. Go ahead, Junkies, have a laugh at my expense. Internet Superstar is a show on Revision 3, home of EPIC-FU and DIGGNation. Hosted by the high-energy Martin Sargent, this show covers -- you guesssed it, the "internet famous." 

There is a ton of graphics work on this, they did a great job on the interview and it moves really fast. Check it out.

Ninja will kill you with this book: Look for the Ninja Handbook in stores September 9Click here to play The Ninja's shout-out to Junkies

Ask a Ninja Presents The Ninja Handbook is the world's foremost guide to killing people. And monsters. And probably trees, too, but only if they get bitchy. And maybe rocks if you have a big enough hammer, and Ninjas do.

If you guys haven't seen Ask a Ninja, you are missing out on one of the best things the internet ever kicked out. The show is absolutely brilliant and will make you laugh your ass off.

What's more, Ask a Ninja is part of the reason I have a book deal. When the big publishers were wondering if this "podcasting fad" had any legs, they were looking at shows like Ask a Ninja and seeing the insane download numbers online media can create. All the J.C. Hutchins, Scott Siglers, Seth Harwoods and everyone else who's dancing with the big publishers needs to tip their hats to these guys for paving the way and showing just how big online media can get.

I'm buying this book tomorrow. I will definitely use it to kill someone. 

And for those of you who know THE ROOKIE, you know that Kracken's linebacker John Tweedy quotes the Ninja when he meets opposing players. Like you need more of a reason than that?

Click here to download the short story THE TORPEDO

This story originally ran on Mur Lafferty's "Stories of the Third Wave" fiction podcast. I wanted to get it in our feed for the Junkies who do not listen to Mur's awesome stuff. THE TORPEDO is a humerous take on some conventions of the superhero genre. I originally made this story to help promote Mur's book "Playing for Keeps," but liked the results so much I though you might like to hear it. In other words, I thought it was funny as fuck. Enjoy.

TECHTARD™ UPDATE:
Initially, I accidentally posted the link to Mur's PDF of the book instead of the MP3 link, so the PDF may have downloaded to your pod-catcher. Downloaded a second time, you see, because I already posted the PDF once. That's just how we TechTards™ roll. Well now I have the correct link in here, so listen in already.
