Hey everybody, check out this excerpt from an interview I did with The Pulp Stage as part of their (successful, yay!) crowdfunding campaign.
The question was, “What do our plays and genres mean to you as a writer?” (My answer is as long winded and as rambling as you would expect.)
Perhaps some of you are weary of crowdfunding campaigns (I may have gotten overzealous in my sharing of MST3K updates)
BUT
This one has something that no other crowdfunding campaign has…ME!
You may remember when The Pulp Stage adapted my story “My Heart is a Quadratic Equation” for a couple of performances a while back. Well, they are currently running a fundraiser on Indigogo to finance their 2016 season.
Among the many cool rewards is this little gem:
New recordings of work by acclaimed fantasy authors Tina Connolly, Shane Halbach, Ken Scholes and Alex Shvartsman. Narrated by Pulp Stage company members Racheal Joy Erickson, Matt Haynes and Kaia Maarja Hillier.
I would like to point out that this is not a reading of “My Heart”, but an ENTIRELY DIFFERENT STORY not previously produced by The Pulp Stage. I’m not sure which stories by Tina, Ken, and Alex are included, but I know they are all super talented, top-notch writers, and I’m happy to be included among them.
Anyway, the CD is only $15 until Dec. 27th, so if you’d like to snag a copy, this is the time to do so. Scroll down on the right side and select “Audiofiction Deluxe” as your reward.
And in the meantime, you can hear a *tiny little teaser* of my story here:

My Heart Is a Quadratic Equation by Shane HalbachCome on down to the unsnooty Sip D’vine wine shop in Multnomah Village, have a glass and get ready for some fun. Seating for the show starts at 7:30pm with a suggested donation of $5 to $10
THIS SHOW IS BEST SUITED FOR AUDIENCES OLD ENOUGH TO CONSUME ALCOHOL.
As it turns out, that warning goes for all of my fiction.
I am happy to announce that The Pulp Stage will be once again performing the theater adaptation of my story, “My Heart is a Quadratic Equation” in Portland on May 8.
I am so, so happy with the adaptation. I have the audio from the original performance and it is simply awesome! If you are in Portland I highly recommend stopping by, either on May 8th, or to any of their other performances.
Just a friendly reminder: an adaptation of my story “My Heart is a Quadratic Equation” will be featured as part of the Pulp Stage’s upcoming Sci Fi Night show next Thursday, April 24th.
More details are available here, but if you happen to be out Portland way, be sure to stop in at the Jack London Bar and check it out. Tickets are only $5 if you buy them online!
