As I said last night in the podcast, I have planned a short story anthology entitled Different Worlds. Stories inspired by the music of Asia Featuring John Payne and GPS.  If someone is inspired by Heat Of The Moment, Only Time Will Tell etc, I’ll take that too.  The only thing is that I’m unable to play those tracks on the podcast.  I’m only allowed to play the Payne era Asia tracks that he is one of the writers of, or the music of GPS.

Moving right along.

The piece will be need to be 2000 words.

I’m flexible on the genre. (ex Two authors will be sending me erotica pieces and one will be sending a scifi fantasy piece.)

The deadline to submit your work will be 12/15 as I plan to start the podcast on both this feed and on it’s own url on or around January 1, 2010.

If you want to record your pieces, send me an mp3.  If you want me to read it, send it via pdf to walkerdependentmusicfan@gmail.com

As far as compensation, I’m gonna see if I can get some swag made up, (t-shirts, keychains, stickers, etc)  If anyone wants to donate, let me know.

In the near future, I might consider self publishing it via lulu.com with the proceeds going to a group or organization for melanoma research in honor of my father.

I know it’s been awhile and somethings have happened since the last episode.  But I promise that I’m back and hope to continue to spread the word of John and his music.  Especially as we wait for two new albums to come out and maybe just maybe a concert in Denver.

If that were to happen, I could possibly do a live fancast with my new Zoom H4.

Until then, I am open to any and all ideas to make this podcast and website a success to help get the news out about the music of Asia Featuring John Payne and GPS

Just letting everyone know of the changes to this and the other podcasts.
