Skitched 20110225 175343

Travel conspires to keep the boys apart for one more week. HOWEVER, we did scramble together this minisode featuring Brian, Justin and “OMG” Chad Johnson, who loyal listeners might remember from our Halloween Haunted Hotel episode a few years back. We discuss the recently landed Mars Curiosity Rover, Chad gamely tries on the big shoes of Mayne and attempts a creepy scenario and everything devolves into a shouting match when the idea of a one-way trip to Mars is remembered.

We are back with the OG line-up next week!

angel killer andrew mayne.jpgIn front of security cameras, a tourist vanishes from the top of the Empire State Building and mysteriously falls to her death moments later in Times Square.

A young girl dies crawling out of her own grave after having been declared dead a year earlier.

On a Fort Lauderdale beach, a missing World War II airman and his aircraft show up as if he died only hours before.

They call the mysterious man behind these unnatural events the Warlock. To some he’s the messenger of a modern age of miracles.

To Jessica Blackwood, FBI agent and daughter of a legendary magic family, the Warlock is a trickster and a murderer and she’s the only one who can see through his deceptions.

Andrew Mayne, the author of Public Enemy Zero and The Chronological Man series brings you an edge-of-your-seat ebook triller that only he could write.

skitched-20110811-012626.jpgA Tale of Scientific Adventure…

It’s 1890 and the citizens of Boston are beginning to go missing in the fog.

The police are confounded. The public is frightened. The city is on the edge of hysteria.

It’s up to the mysterious Smith, inventor and adventurer, to figure out what’s going on with the help of his assistant, April Malone. They’ll have to face off against a secret society, corrupt policemen and a mad psychologist hell-bent on dissecting Smith, in order to solve the mystery of what’s going on and to save the city from an even more sinister threat.

A fast-paced 45,000 word tale of science adventure, this novella is the first story about Smith, a curious man combining elements of Doctor Who, Sherlock Holmes and Tony Stark.

You can have it for only 99¢ on the Amazon Kindle store.
