Please welcome Abigail Hilton to the site, author of The Prophet of Panamindorah, Book I Fauns and Filinians:
Corry showed up at the orphanage two years ago, unable to remember how he’d gotten there. He spoke a language no one recognized, and he was afraid of cars and planes and computers. Corry can remember snippets of another life, but no matter how hard he tries to remember, it just keeps slipping away. Then one day, he meets a fauness in an orange grove. She’s from a world called Panamindorah, and he can understand her language. In addition, Corry can read a language that no one in Panamindorah has been able to read for three hundred years; has he really been gone that long? Now he must recover his lost memories and rebuild his life, because the person who tried to kill him once is about to try again. The Prophet of Panamindorah is for listeners 13 and older.

Abigail, I think you have a winner here, so I am pleased to see the “Book I” in the title!

Aw, thank you, Gail! I’m really glad you’re enjoying the story.
If you want to see the cover art for the second book, it is already up on my website (http://www.panamindorah.com/?page_id=7). Prophet is a completed trilogy. No need to worry that the story will have long pauses or no ending. All three will come out back to back and on schedule.

Abigail Hilton has imagined a remarkable universe full of fascinating creatures, magics and time-tricks. The action is fast and furious in this first book, and there are many puzzles for us readers — and the hero — to figure out. Many of the characters spring vividly to life. I’ve listened to some of the episodes twice to make sure I haven’t missed anything, and it’s just as much fun to listen the second time as the first. Panamindorah is a winner.

Thanks, Tobias! I’m really glad you’re enjoying the story.

Abbie, I just finished studying for a big exam so I’m listening to new titles. (Nathan Lowell plugged yours.) I have no fewer than six subscriptions right now but it is only this one that I can’t be content to wait for more episodes for! Amazing new universe. Thank you.

Thank you, quandmeme! You have no idea how much comments like that keep writers going. I’m also in graduate school, so I know how good it must feel to be done studying for that test.
If you want the episodes a little faster, it might be worth subscribing to my own feed at www.panamindorah.com. It won’t matter in a few months, but during the actual release, episodes do come up a bit faster over there, and you also get some extra comments from me if you’re interested.

Just finished this book and glad to see the second is already showing up. The story is wildly imaginative so I can’t wait to get home and start listening to the second book.

Thanks, Chris! I´m glad no one seems too annoyed with me for the cliffhanger. I´d hoped that releasing them back to back would make it OK.
September 23rd, 2008 at 8:02 pm
Ha! Ha! We here at Podiobooks have been cliff-hangered so often that we are resigned to it.
That’s not to say we aren’t pleased when it’s over quickly!

Hello, listeners. Are you interested in seeing The Prophet of Panamindorah in some kind of text format? If so, nip on over to Long Tale Press (just google them) and vote for Prophet. Mur mentioned this press in _I Should Be Writing_ 101, and I thought it was a neat idea. A publisher puts their slush pile online and lets readers vote on which manuscripts to acquire. The site is still very new. If you like the concept, check it out even if you don’t vote for my book.

Sorry to be a flake, guys, but disregard my previous post. I still think this press has a great idea, but the execution needs to be reconsidered. Right now they’re asking too much for too little.

Abbie
I am just getting started with this book and I really like the story. If I could provide some contructive feedback it would be that your reading (narration) is too fast. If you slow it down just a bit I think it will really help the listener. I see that you already have the next book out so possibly you have adjusted that. Overall though I think it is a great podacst.

Thanks, Dan! I’m glad you’re enjoying the story. I have gotten more comfortable with the reading as I’ve gone along. It’s definitely slower than I talk in real life.
