Scott is definitely at the forefront (along with his arch nemesis JC Hutchins) in elaborating on character development, backstory, etc in podcasting. Take for example, The Rookie: one of my favorite Sigler books, and his release of several mini stories during the galactic war. I also enjoyed how JC Hutchins allowed for fan contributions to his Obsidian backstory to 7th Son. But back to Scott: the other important aspect to these podcasting authors is that they KNOW that it is their fans who truly support and encourage them. The fact that you can email or IM these authors and actually converse with the author and not some feeble minded drone, also makes that 1 on 1 connection. There are many great authors I have found on podiobooks including the aforementioned authors but also (to name a few): the Mighty Mur Lafferty, Basil Sands, Edward Talbot, Karen Marie Moning, Bill Desmedt, Remy Gibson, and General Val Pattee. Scott - great work rivarij99 right on! Scott is definitely at the forefront (along with his arch nemesis JC Hutchins) in elaborating on character development, backstory, etc in podcasting.

I, for one, hardly ever have the time to read because of a busy schedule. Once I discovered Scott's incredible imagination in audio format I was set free. The future of book publishing in my case, and MANY other people's,(speak up OJ's!) is definitely in allowing the future customer to get a glimpse of what the author is capable of. In Scott's case, especially, he has introduced characters that he could revolve stories around forever. I would go so far as to say each supporting character in his works of fiction, i.e. Earthcore, Infection, and his latest, the incredible tale of Nocturnal, could have their own story. That's how strong he paints the characters in your mind as you listen. Needless to say, I and many others will buy every book this man publishes. NO DOUBT! Please, definitely check Sigler's work out, and his other author friens. You will be very satisfied you gave them a chance. Mr. Sigler couldn’t be more on the money if he tried.
