The LampLight Radio Play Wins a Sarah Award

March 28, 2017.

The LampLight Radio Play won a Sarah Award for “Occurrence at B.E. Investments” for Best New Artist!

Andrew Wardlaw received the award in the WNYC studios. There was fanfare, live performance from Welcome to Nightvale, and a marching brass band.

The first teaser, A Talk with A Fallen Girl was actually created for the 2016 Very, Very, Short, Short Stories Contest, and though it did not win, it set the tone for the Radio Play.

Congrats to Andy. And thank you to the Sarah Awards.

Goliath Is Here

The latest Kaiju Revisted is here! Ghost In The Machine by K.H. Koehler is out now in Print, Kindle and Smashwords ! Kobo, Nook, and Print coming soon!

Ghost In The Machine

 

Utilizing their great cybeasts, the unstoppable Xirian army has conquered a thousand worlds in the galaxy, subjugating or destroying the inhabitants in the process. The War Master has ordered a Level 7 cybeast to be created.

The beast: Goliath. The target: Earth.

Xara is only a scientist, more at home in a lab than a battlefield. She is just barely keeping her life together when the alien attack commences and the Xirians unleash their full fury on the planet.

As she watches Goliath’s devastating initial attack, she forms a plan—a plan that might actually stop the cybeast and save the human race, but it will take a combination of courage, treason, and ingenuity to carry it out…
