Said The Princess has been podcasted!

My first professionally published short story from 2012, Said the Princess, originally published in Daily Science Fiction, has now received a reprint as a full cast audio podcast recording from Podcastle! I am... deliriously excited and it is actually making it hard to do the Serious Author Self Promotion thing, which I am never especially good at under any circumstances. But I just listened to it and it is SO GOOD. So good! I am trying to type sensible self promotion things but internally I am just wildly Kermit flailing.

All the cast did an amazing job, but I'm especially impressed with Andrew K. Hoe for managing to take a passage consisting entirely of the phrase "and the Princess took another step" repeated twelve times (sorry about that, Mr. Hoe) and somehow turning that into a suspenseful dramatic monologue. Dang, sir.

Go give a listen. And then listen to a bunch of other episodes, because all the Escape Artist podcast productions are amazing. And then come back to listen to the Said the Princess episode again on a constant loop for the rest of the day. That's probably what I'm going to be doing. KERMIT FLAIL.

OMG. I listened to this story this morning while I was in the shower and I laughed and giggled out loud and could NOT stop smiling. Wonderful story! I can't say enough good things. :)

Thank youuuu. I had a similar reaction, though in my case it was mostly reacting to the way the cast read things. I can't say enough good things. But I am also still very proud of this story. It made me happy to write it way back then, and I still like it now.
