JP3 at 43!

Today JACK PALMS 3 (all caps when you spell the man's name) is number 43 on the iTunes Arts>>Literature Podcasts.

What's that mean? Far from clear what this means for now or later, but it is *definitely* a good thing. A good sign.

I'm up on J.C. Hutchins' UltraCreatives!!

Hey all, stars are coming into alignment here at sethharwood.com. J.C. Hutchins and I finally got it all worked out for our interview to go through, we sat down and did it and now it's out. I think it's REALLY awesome. Definitely one of the most fun interviews I've had AND J.C. was cool enough to tack my Jack Wakes Up episode 01 onto the end of the talk.

So it's a long interview, but I think we got at some of what podcast fiction is really all about (whatever's left that I didn't get to cover with Soccergirl), what's happening with the genre, and some great talk about writing as well. I'm really ecstatic about this one and I think you'll be too when you get to give 'er a listen.

So Czech this one out! You'll be glad you did.

Listmania! Want to get in on the action? (Al dispatch)

Hey yo, homies,
Al here.
A new way to plaster Jack Wakes Up the book all over the Amazon.com now is exists! Czech it: if you make the Listmania lists on Amazon.com and put JACK WAKES UP at the top, our cover will pop on the people's Amazon search screens all over this country, the US. And people will wonder: "What is this?" They will look at it and... they will maybe buy. So we try this. No? Yes. We try. Then they buy.

Here is telling how to make the Amazon Listmania Lists.

We UP!!

Last night one of my students told me she'd seen the Jack Wakes Up signs in a Bart station here in San Francisco. Sure enough, after class I went down to 16th and Mission and saw two signs there.
If you're in the SF Bay area, look around for these. If you send me a picture of you with a sign, I'll be happy to post it here. Look for me this weekend scouring the area and taking shots of all the signs I can find.

JACK WAKES UP in MY house!!

WOW!!

Yeah. WOW. That's all I can say about this one.
YEAH.

New Website is UP!!

We got the new website up and running! Big props to Jason Andrews, Palms Daddy extraordinaire. The new site's at sethharwood.com. Where else?
Time to celebrate!

And thanks to Jerry Scullion and Sean Robertson for making THIS come true. Wow.

Interview with Cian Mac Mahon

Direct Link to Interview

Some of you may have noticed that the Pats lost the Super Bowl. And I was wrong about them going 19-0. But I'm pretty happy with them going 18-1 over the season. It was definitely the best season of football I've seen in my life and, though they didn't win the SuperBowl, they were the best team by a mile all season long.

Were they the best team ever? Maybe not. Were they as good as the 18-1 1985 Bears? If so, I can definitely live with that. Somebody got to them and now nobody's perfect or invincible. Is that a surprise? Not so much.

Here's an interview I did with Cian Mac Mahon from View from the Quad a little while back. Hope you take a look at the All-New SethHarwood.com this week and join me in thanking Jason Andrews for all the work he did on it!
