INSIDE COVER: "TEARS OF THE TIN GOD"

"TEARS OF THE TIN GOD" AUDIO DRAMA HAS ARRIVED!



At long last the new audio drama based on T. Ray Gordon's third science fiction radio play "Tears of the Tin God" is complete. I had taken several months off from the story to produce a series of 25 children's songs for HASBRO TOYS. Once we finished that daunting task I was free and clear to wind up the final 2 chapters of the CD. The advanced reviews have been super, so I'm quite pleased. Most critiques who have reviewed "TEARS" have indicated that this is the best of the three titles I've recorded thus far. The new CD is now available at commercialvoices.net through cdbaby.

Once there, you can listen to two minutes of all six chapters to get a feel for the story. You can also check out the other two previous stories "Inhumanity Quest" and "Strawberry Automatic" the latter CD won the Mark Time Honorable mention Award for best science fiction audio production for 2005. All three titles I've produced based on the science fiction radio plays Gordon wrote for his 1946 radio show "Vistas of the Beyond" are complete with a multi cast of professional voice actors, sound effects and a fantastic compilation of both original music and some superb production music. In the very near future I'll put some audio clips from the books up here on this Blog so you can listen to samples. In addition I'll post the reviews or links to the receivers sites so that you'll be able to read the reviews for yourself.

I'm now in pre production on the fourth story Gordon wrote titled Blood of Gorgon's. This tale is also a sci-fi adventure, but unlike the other three tales is set in the American old west circa 1866. The story features two immortal characters from Greek mythology who have survived into the wild, wild, west. I'll begin recording the first chapter of the book around November of 07.

Look for Jim Groman's sculpt on the cover of the CD. Shown here in progress. Until next time, this is Rick Sellers saying so long!
