The Thirteenth Hour Podcast

Originally released Jan 6, 2015 This marks the twelfth Thirteenth Hour podcast episode, where I read an early draft of The Thirteenth Hour during the fine-tuning stages, shortly prior to publication of the first edition. There are 15 episodes in total, each about an hour in length. This continues chapter 22 from the novel. The Thirteenth Hour An impossible quest to the ends of the world. An unlikely hero. And ... a little magic. If an optimist sees opportunity even in disaster, then Logan, the sole surviving member of an ill-fated military expedition to the ends of the world, is most definitely an optimist. You’d have to be to continue on without supplies, ship, or crew. But to someone who’s daydreamed of seeing the world since childhood, perhaps disaster actually hides freedom. And, besides, who ever said adventures were supposed to be easy? Of course, every hero on a “desperate quest against incredible odds” can use a little help. Enter Aurora, Logan’s best friend from childhood, whose fate collides serendipitously with his, a magic collapsible hover board, three bumbling wizards, and the elemental forces from the lands of wind, water, fire, earth, and dreams. These characters and many more collide in an illustrated fairy tale fantasy inspired by enough 1980s fantasy, scifi, and teen movies that an original retro 80s synthesizer soundtrack, Long Ago Not So Far Away, was created to accompany the novel. Enter a whimsical world of what reviewers called “creative, fast paced adventure” best “described as a fairy tale for anyone who grew up on old school fantasy movies in the 80s.”
