Free Reads
free reads1In 2005 I started the Free Reads Podcast which featured me reading my own work.  In that time I have read maybe a dozen stories, several columns and my novels BURN and LOOK INTO THE SUN.  A few of the stories on the Free Reads podcast also appear on James Patrick Kelly's StoryPod over on Audible.com, only in higher fidelity and with introductions and afterwords.  Free Reads has been subject to podfade from time to time, but it is a project I intend to keep at until I can't croak anymore, in which case I will probably have croaked.
 
StoryPod
storypodsmOn February 2, 2007, Audible.com, the largest seller of audiobooks online, launched James Patrick Kelly's StoryPod, a for-pay podcast that featured me reading my own work.

This audio collection represents almost all of the short fiction I've published as of 2007. Most of what I've left out is the early stuff, which can be hit and miss, I'm not ashamed to say. So why are you wasting time reading this when you could have me murmuring in your ear? Click over to Audible now!

 
BURN

burn_thumbThere was an amazing influx of people trying to download BURN when it won the Nebula Award.  Ordinarily, this would be a good thing, except that it crashed my site.  A disaster to be proud of! According to the Science Fiction Writers of America site, it was the first podcast to win the award.  Of course, there was a dead tree version from Tachyon Publications which you should definitely buy to show to your grandkids so that you can prove that books were once printed on actual molecules.  But if you're hankering for a listen, here it is.
