Forever Knight Minitribute

admin — Thu, 23 Oct 2008 02:18:45 +0000

Two of the women from Forever Knight muse about Nick. First we hear from Mira, his partner’s wife, as she wonders why he is apparently allergic to garlic, sunlight and is afraid of churches. Odd that. We then finish off with some comments from Janette over at the Raven.

Of course this is for entertainment purposes only, as a highlight for October.

Horatio Hornblower Behind the Scenes

admin — Wed, 21 May 2008 00:46:58 +0000

Here a little of what went into the new Hornblower that was just released as well as an explanation of why it is Part 1 but starts partway through the book and what parts were adapted versis written cold.

It also includes some bloopers from David Ault and David Drage (Hornblower and Secretary Marsden).

Horatio Hornblower & the Crisis Part 1

admin — Mon, 19 May 2008 20:26:30 +0000

The first of a two-parter Horatio Hornblower at Imagination Lane is now released. For those of you with the book it starts in Chapter 7 partway through after Hornblower is writing the letter. I skipped the boarding house scene as frankly just listening to someone washing up and getting dressed isn’t really that interesting in audio format I also combined the characters of the Flags, Dorsey and Barrow because I don’t have enough voice actors to have fifty million male characters and it just confuses people anyway to have five people in a conversation where three would do just as well. Other than that it mostly follows word for word from the book.
