Lost Gods
Summary: Kweku Anansi is just another member of the African diaspora, trying to make a place for himself in his adopted home of Toronto, Canada. He dreams of better days, of a time when he could be stop running small time cons just to make the rent. He dreams of the life he used to live, centuries ago when he was revered as a god. A chance encounter with a fellow con man with a dark and secretive past of his own, plunges them both into the dark world of the lost gods, gods who would do anything to be worshipped again. Including destroying the world, if necessary. How far will Anansi go to reclaim his godhood? What will he give up to have true power again? The answers can be found in “Lost Gods”, a new weekly podcast novel from author Drew Beatty.

What can I say, Saturday is the new Thursday. Got behind, sorry. Hope you enjoy. I'll try to get the PDF up tomorrow as regularly scheduled. And have the Name the Lost Gods Listeners poll up very soon as well. Oh, and sorry, I seem to be having some troubles figuring out what numbers my chapters are. Think they are all fixed up now. Thanks, as always, for listening. Story So Far:nbsp; Tee Morris Promo: I Should Be Writing
Feeling more sleep deprived than witty today, people, and I am seriously getting honked off about the amount of snow that is falling on Toronto these days. Meteorologists, when you predict a "drier than average" winter, some people might actually think that means "less than a meter of snow falling every freaking week". Just saying. I am thrilled at the response to the contest! You people rock. I will get a poll going at the end of January, and you, the people, can decide what you shall be called. Hey, all you Americans, have a great time on Tuesday, you all deserve a party.
Happy Thursday everyone (or at least everyone who is reading this on, you know, a Thursday). Once again, it is time for another exciting episode of Lost Gods. I have been getting emails, comments and Twits about the contest - some great ideas so far, keep them coming! I will hold a poll in February so that you, the listeners, can decide what you as a collective should be called. Because, really, just calling you "Lost Gods Listeners" has little to no pizazz. Or pizza, also no pizza. Enjoy. Story So Far: Philippa Ballantine Promo: Hard Boiled Headline
If it's Sunday, it must be time for the weekly PDF of Lost Gods! Our heroes are in the thick of it, now. When last we saw him, Anansi was plummeting to his death from the top of his apartment building after being attacked by fairies!nbsp; Will he find some way to survive, or have I been too influenced by the Coen brother's recent films, and I'm killing off a main character in the middle of the story? Read on, the story awaits... Also, stay tuned to this page for an upcoming announcement of an exciting contest!
Hey people, hope you are all doing well. Here is Lost Gods chapter 7. I would like to give a special shout out to Greg Crites, who answered a Twitter plea for help and made up a nifty Story So Far in an amazingly short time. Thanks Greg! The promo this week is for some dude called Scott Sigler. I am thrilled at the opportunity to lend a hand to this young, up and coming podcaster, and expand his audience greatly with the army of Lost Gods fans (seriously, need a cool nickname for people who listen to this podcast, any ideas?). HA! Seriously, Scott is a master, if you for some reason have not listened or read, you shold check him out. Without any further ado, the next chapter of Lost Gods!
Welcome to 2009, it's beginning to feel a little bit sci-fi around here these days. It seems like just yesterday we were all consumed with millennial angst and worries about Y2K, now were are almost at 2010! I hope you all had an amazing holiday season, regardless of what you celebrate, if you celebrate at all. I am already excited about a few things going on this month. I will share details as they become pertinent. But for now, here is the PDF of Lost Gods, Chapter 6! As always, thanks for visiting my
Hey everyone, lots and lots of great news here at Lost Gods headquarters this week. First up, Lost Gods is now on Podiobooks.com (yeah!). Even better, Lost Gods has been the Number One book at Podiobooks.com for the past 2 days. Sigler and Morris were number 2 and 3. Pretty good company to keep. In this episode I have skipped over the usual chatter at the beginning - simply put, I'm still a little sick, and I would like to rest my voice so I can try to keep on recording chapters.nbsp; I hope you all had great holidays. Without any further ado, here is Lost Gods, Chapter 6 (aka the shit hits the fan!) Story So Far: James Melzer (The Zombie Chronicles) Promo: Legon Awakening
A day late and a dollar short. Missed posting yesterday, sorry about that. I am now officially on holiday mode! Also, I rented Spider-Man, Web of Shadows for the Wii, and got a little wrapped up in it! So, now that my forearm is all sore from to much swinging through New York, I am free to resume the podcast. Here is Chapter Five, the PDF! As the next release is supposed to be on Christmas Day, I am officially taking the week off. Have a great holiday everyone, and I will see you NEXT Thursday.

Welcome to episode Four of Lost Gods. I am thrilled to say that Matthew Wayne Selznick was able to overcome horrific hard drive related hardships and is the guest Story So Far-er for the week. I'm actually not sure if Story So Far-er is the official title, I will have to look into that. In other news, I am still not well, so the snappy chatter that prefaces the episode is at a minimum, but to balance that, I have included EXCLUSIVE CONTENT! I had the opportunity to interview MWS some time ago (I think it was April or so) and I was not able to use the content, until now. So, stick around after the episode you will get to hear, for the first time ever, my exclusive interview with Matt Selznick. Thanks again for listening. Hope you are enjoying the further adventures of Anansi and Coyote. Story So Far: Matthew Wayne Selznick Promo: House Of Grey
