Rules for Hearts podcast continues

Published on November 6, 2007 in Podcast. Closed

I told you it would. This scene was a little challenging to read because I can’t do guy voices so well and I have a bunch of unattributed bits of back-and-forth dialogue. But you do know that it’s Battle and her brother talking, so I hope you can tell who’s who.

Download Act I, scene ii.

ETA a geeky question: Does anyone know how to change the icon associated with a podcast in the iTunes store? I was using the Empress cover as my icon while I was reading it, but now that I’m embarked on reading Rules I’d like to change it to the Rules cover. I did change it in my .xml file using the <itunes: image> tag, but somehow the change isn’t getting picked up in the iTunes store. Any help much appreciated.

P.S. Yes, for new readers, you can subscribe to my podcast via iTunes.

Rules for Hearts podcast begins…now.

Because I like reading aloud to the Internet.

The first installment should be up soon in the iTunes store, or you can download it as an mp3.

And yeah, I’m planning to keep reading. Tell your friends. :)

Depending on how long you’ve been reading this, you may or may not know that I recorded myself reading my first novel, Empress of the World, as a series of podcasts.

For your convenience, therefore, this post contains links to all of them:

Hey, I’m in a YALSA Podcast

Published on July 5, 2007 in Podcast. Closed

The fabulous Joseph Wilk interviewed a whole bunch of people at the recent American Library Association Conference in D.C. — and I was one of them!

Quoting the YALSA blog:

In this series of three interviews at Annual Conference 2007 Joseph Wilk talks with:

Brijin Boddy of the Chattahoochie Valley Regional Library System, Columbus (GA) Library
Sara Ryan author of The Rules for Hearts and Empress of the World
Jane Irwin creator of Vogelein

It’s extra cool that Joseph also interviewed Jane in this podcast. I know her from Ann Arbor, and also from comic conventions. :)

NYMBC!

Hey. I was offline for a day and a half and it feels like forever. This probably means I should stay offline longer, but here I am, slave to the keyboard and the coffeehouse wifi.

Huge thanks to everyone who came to see Lauren Myracle and me at the Not Your Mother’s Bookclub event! (Click that link for photos and more…)

It was super fun, it is a lovely store, and I highly encourage anyone who lives within traveling distance to come to future events. Even huger thanks to Jennifer and the rest of the fabulous Books Inc. staff for making it all happen. And yes, although it starts in the middle of a sentence and cuts off before the end of the Q and A, the podcast worked.
