Lord Avedon has a problem. Generations of Avedons have watched over Avedon Hill and controlled the only pass through the Lantis Mountains. Traditions are important to the Avedon family, but one tradition has tragically come to an end. Gretta Platt, Housemistress of Avedon Manor, has been murdered. A member of the Platt family has always served the Avedons as Housemistress. until now. Only a handful of people live at Avedon Hill, and most are suspects. Arames Kragen, retired Aarronic Advisor and scholar of prophecy, arrives at the gates of Avedon Hill, hoping to gain access to the mountain pass. Lord Avedon is not in a giving mood, however.

This is the story of Arames Kragen and his attempt not only to discover who killed Gretta Platt, but also to uncover the truth about a town that apparently has more secrets than inhabitants.

The Land of Caern: It is a world where the gods, the Children of Az, can choose to be born as mortals to directly affect events in the world, and often do. It is a world where the Priests of Caern frantically search for the mortal incarnations of any of the Children, in order prevent the Prophecies of Iberian from coming to pass.

Welcome to The Land of Caern. Welcome. to Murder at Avedon Hill, the podcast novel by P.G. Holyfield.

PG, we have run into each other before. I friend-ed you on facebook when I first found MaAH. I believe that it was a promo on Escape Pod that brought me over to you- haven't really been much of a fantasy gal, but I was intrigued to hear all of my favorite podcasters sharing their voices in one story. I don't regret this in my iTunes library, ever. The little blue dot of a new episode makes me WANT to do a horrible and long chore, so that I won't be interrupted. Yesterday, I painted a wall in my bathroom. MaAH- a murder mystery set in a fantasy land with vampires. Genius! Thanks to PG, thanks to Mur and Mark and Matt, Christiana, and especially to Rick. And, PG, tell Lila that I am jealous she gets to hear you say her name at night! If you thought that last mention gave her a thrill... (nah- my hubby has a lovely voice as well... but no southern charm, alas).

I honestly have to say that this is by far the BEST podcast novel I have had the pleasure to listen to. As Tolkien has long been one of my favorite authors, I have waited quite a while to be drawn into new great fantasy world. Murder at Avedon Hill is amazing! PG Holyfield welcomes you into the world of Caern in the form of a brilliant podcast novel. The production quality is top notch, his delivery is flawless and the passionate cast of guest readers are wonderful. I was blown away by the sound quality, effects and choice of music. PG Holyfield has given the world a very generous gift. Give Murder at Avedon Hill a listen. You will not be disappointed! I have a feeling Mr. Holyfield has a lot more to share. Please show your support for such a wonderful talent. He graciously invites you into his world?you will want to stay forever.

As some of you might have heard, I had a live event on Sunday to promote the release of chapter 23, which is also the end of Part I of Murder at Avedon Hill. It was a live video reading of chapter 23, complete with sound effects, music, and guest voices. It was done using ustream, and probably due to my internet connection was a bit on the laggy side (the video was around 30 seconds behind the audio). The next morning I re-recorded the event (without the Q&A for the 25 or so people that stuck around to the end) using stickam, which seemed to work much better. That video can be viewed on my website at http://www.pgholyfield.com/maah/stickam-video If you have friends that have not tried MaAH, the video episode includes a lengthy (nearly spoiler-free) Story So Far by Leann Mabry. This is a good introduction to the novel, so spread the word!!
