FORWARD

These stories were written between August and November, 2006. The first few stories, and the idea for an audio book, were inspired by a concentrated period of shortwave listening, and transcriptions of some Morse Code transmissions.

The texts are read by Mary and Sam, the voices of TextAloud speech synthesis software (with a little bit of the author's own voice blended in on The Gas Dancers of Zirna). All other sonic components were recorded from a one-tube regenerative shortwave receiver designed and built by Larry Naumann of St. Louis, Missouri, who likes to build these things and sell them on E-Bay.

By way of technical information, the one-tube "regen" is a very simple circuit, the next step up on the wireless evolutuionary ladder from the basic crystal receiver. Even so, it can pull in signals from all over the world - and who knows where else...
