A snippet:
Happy September, my friends. I appreciate your patience with this month's ebook while I was at Dragon Con. While it is easily my favorite con of the year, it is also an exhausting one. It was great seeing some of you there. I hope you all had a grand ol' time.

This month, my patrons received an ebook copy of an oldie, but goody. Premiering in November 2012 from Radio Archives, NIGHTBEAT: NIGHT STORIES was released in ebook (Kindle) and audio formats. It was the first time I ever heard my work read aloud as an audiobook, which was equal parts bizarre and cool.

A little history. Nightbeat was an NBC radio drama series that aired February 6, 1950 – September 25, 1952. The show was sponsored by Pabst Blue Ribbon Beer and Wheaties. Nightbeat told the story of Randy (originally "Lucky") Stone, a reporter who covered the night beat for the Chicago Star, encountering criminals and troubled souls. Listeners were invited to join Stone as he "searches through the city for the strange stories waiting for him in the darkness." Stone was portrayed on the show by actor Frank Lovejoy.

Nightbeat: Night Stories features stories by authors Howard Hopkins, William Patrick Murray, Paul Bishop, Tommy Hancock, Mark Squirek, and yours truly. The audio is read by veteran character actor Michael C. Gwynne. Cover by Douglas Klauba. Edited by Tommy Hancock. Published and produced by Radio Archives.

My story is called "The One That Got Away" and it's one of my favorites. I started out planning to write a fairly straightforward story of good guys and bad guys, with a damsel in distress between them. The characters had other plans and the ending became much better by my paying attention to them.

Time to walk the beat.

HEARING THE NIGHTBEAT

My copy of the new Nightbeat: Night Stories audio book from Radio Archives arrived today and I just had to dig into it. I listened to my story because I was really curious how it would sound. It’s a weird sensation hearing my words read aloud, especially by someone other than myself. I have to tip my hat to actor Michael C. Gwynne, who read the stories in this volume. He did a great job.

I’m excited to listen to the rest of the stories now.

Below is the Nightbeat: Night Stories press release for those who might have missed it the first time around.

THE ONE THAT GOT AWAY!

"My name is Randy Stone. I cover the night beat."

Audio cover art by Douglas Klauba

Here's an ad I whipped up to promote the newly released Nightbeat: Night Stories ebook and audio book that features my story, "The One That Got Away." I added the line which opens not only every episode of the radio series, but also starts every story in this collection of new stories. All stories end with Stone shouting for a copy boy to collect the article and run it to editorial.

Details on Nightbeat: Night Stories can be found in the post below this one. Please feel free to share the ad with anyone and everyone.

I'm excited to hear the audio version. I've never had one of my stories performed by an actor before. It's a very interesting sensation.

"Copy Boy!"

WALKING THE NIGHTBEAT

Ebook Cover Art: Douglas Klauba

My name is Bobby Nash. I walk the Nightbeat.

Radio Archives has announced the release of Nightbeat: Night Stories, a collection of six stories based on the Old Time Radio series Nightbeat, which starred Frank Lovejoy as Randy Stone, a reporter who works the night beat for The Chicago Star.

I’m excited to be part of this new anthology collection, which is available for purchase now as an ebook (Kindle, Nook, iTunes and RadioArchives.com) and as an audio book. This is my first story to be turned into an audio book so I’m doubly excited and eager to hear it performed by the talented Michael C. Gwynne.

Audio Cover Art: Douglas Klauba

I had fun stepping into Randy Stone’s shoes. The story for this one took on a life of it’s own and I was surprised when it didn’t go the direction I was planning to take it. I love it when that happens. Once it’s been out awhile I’ll be able to talk about that without revealing spoilers.

I hope you’ll check out Nightbeat: Night Stories.

Bobby
