  • About This Novel

    Playing for Keeps was delivered via podcast in audio and PDF form and is now available in print from Swarm Press. It tells the story of Keepsie Branson, a bar owner in the shining metropolis of Seventh City: birthplace of super powers. Keepsie and her friends live among egotistical heroes and manipulative villains, and manage to fall directly in the middle as people with powers, but who just aren't strong enough to make a difference. Or that's what they've been told. As the city begins to melt down, it's hard to tell who are the good guys and who are the bad.

    DOH! “Transitional music here”

    Great novel, Mur! Digging the new Doodad device.

    There’s a “transitional music here” comment in the recording.

    Oh, Jack, you’ve been a naughty boy.

    My favorite part is Mur saying “Transitional music here,” though. ;)

    Can ANYONE give a time stamp for that mistake? I know it’s fun to catch it, but it would help me out to get some information so I can fix it.

    File fixed. Sorry about that.

    There’s two of them. Second one is a little before the 33:00 mark.

    Of the two, I enjoyed the second one best. ;)

    Hi Mur,
    are you sure it’s fixed? I just checked with the player on the website and there’s still a “transitional music here” comment at 26 minutes into the recording and at 32 minutes. Thank you for podcasting your novel.

    Transitional music aside, this was another great episode. I’m just sad that we only have two more to go!

    I guess after that I’ll have to buy the novel and read it again. ;-)

    “Transitional Music Here” should be a t-shirt.

    Thanks for this episode. Finally got around to ordering the HC book and delivery to the UK was cheaper than I thought it would be to!

    The “transitional music here” was a nice little peek behind the scenes.

    Having finally gotten current on the episodes, waiting for the last two is going to be torture for me!

    I have accessed your Playing for keeps feed through Podiobooks.com and the episode 13 link is busted and only gives me a 1kb file. Could you repost this file to the page so that others at Podiobooks can get it?

    Love the novel so far.

    Keep up the Most excellent work.

    Whoa. I just read the comments. It took me a long minute to realize I hadn’t posted a comment already. Seriously… two Shannon’s posting is messing with my mind.
