Radio Drama Reading of The Gilded Age Issue #1

Posted on February 6, 2015 by jmcguirewrites

That’s right. On February 21, 2015 at North Dekalb Mall, the site of the Atlanta SF & Fantasy Expo, the Atlanta Radio Theatre Company is going to do a dramatic reading of The Gilded Age Issue #1!

Cast your mind back to an age where you gathered around the radio and actors on the other end created worlds and adventures with little more than their voices and special effects in the form of sounds. That’s kinda what this is going to be like, except they are going to have the panels from the comic displayed behind them as they work their way through the story.

I honestly don’t even know what to expect, but I’m really excited to even have the opportunity to have something of mine transformed in such a way.

So if you happen to be in the area and want to experience something different and new, swing by 2050 Lawrenceville Highway, Decatur, GA 30033 at either 3:00 PM or 7:30 PM.

Hollow Empire Episode 1 is FREE!

Posted on January 30, 2015 by jmcguirewrites

I am happy to report that Episode 1 of the 1st Season of Hollow Empire is now available for FREE on Amazon and on Smashwords. Click the icon below!

Here’s the blurb:

“Once, the empire of Vhur was the world’s most powerful. But that was before the Lichy plague. Now, twenty years and millions of dead later, only a few cities remain. The survivors walk a fine line between staying alive and crumbling into the grave.

Come the Night of Knives, even these last few might perish.”

But it is more than a post-apocalyptic fantasy with hints of westerns and a dash of superheroes mixed in (it works, trust me). It is the story of four people, Vadim, Nadya, Cassidy, and Murgul the Maggot. It is their stories of survival. And for some, maybe even redemption.

And if you like what you’ve read, be sure to check out the complete Season 1:

Review for Gilded Age on IGN

Posted on December 3, 2014 by jmcguirewrites

At the bottom of the page for their Comixology Submit Reviews is a very cool review for The Gilded Age! The only bad was that I didn’t know about it when they posted it back in the summer. Either way, it is a very cool thing from one of the larger comic/entertainment sites.
