Heaven Season Five: War – Get the Inside Story!
Long-time listeners of Heaven will know that the promised final season of the series, War, has been pushed back about six months. I’m currently writing it, after outlining, and it’s going well. I have some awesome things planned, including custom art by Natalie Metzger! I have it slated for a June 1 release.
(And hey, if you’re at Balticon this year, you might want to attend my reading… just sayin’…)
But then I thought, why wait till June 1 to release it? Why not see if people will be interested in the goings on of the writing process, get a peek at the plot, maybe even see the PDF before anyone else hears audio?
So I’m trying something new. I’m offering the Inside Story, a brand new premium podcast. If you’re jonesing for the sneak peek of War as I’m writing it, then sign up! For $4.99 you will get:
- Access to a secret, protected Twitter feed where I will update with word count and little plot nuggets (no real spoilers, just hints).
- PDF releases of full chapters before anyone else sees/hears them.
- I’ll be hosting private breakfasts at every con I attend this summer (currently Balticon, Origins, and DragonCon – WorldCon is TBD) just for Inside Story subscribers!
But whoa, you didn’t charge us for any of the other Heaven podcasts! What gives?
And you don’t have to pay for this one, either. On June 1, War will launch in audio format, for free (as always), on the new Heaven site (launching very soon as soon as I stamp on some bugs), on the Murverse, and on podiobooks.com.
The Inside Story is just for people who are dying to have a peek at the story as it’s coming out, and get a look into my head as I write the thing. If you can wait for the free, then that’s cool too.
I am not sure. Can I wait to hear what others think about the Inside Story?
Sure! Early supporters get a bonus and can sign up from now till June 1 for $4.99. After June 1, anyone can still join to download the PDFs (if you don’t want to wait till the end of the audio story), see the Twitter stream, see other goodies before the rest of the world, and the price will go up to $7.99.
I’d love to see how you write, but I am not a listener of Heaven!
No problem. Four novellas are waiting for you- the best place to get them is podiobooks.com.
OK- I’m sold. How do I sign up?
Go to The Heaven Site and register, then follow the directions there.

Mur, I think this is an awesome idea and I wish you the best with it!
Darn you, Mur. I’m going to have to give you $5. I am out of my mind thrilled that you’re back to this. I was just thinking of re-listening to the whole Heaven shebang again, it’s my favorite Murwork to date.
I’m there.
Gooooo Mur! Good for you for getting this going so quickly. Can’t wait to hear how it works out.
curses! no munneh… :/
great idea tho!
can’t wait for War!
ps: happy st. Patrick’s Day!

Dude you’re awesome!…Love the books!
I continue to worship at the altar of your awesomeness. Long live Mur!!!!
What about iTunes? same launch date?
Can’t wait!!!
OMG! Me and my mother have been waiting and waiting and waiting! She asks me at least once a month if the next part of Heaven is out yet. Now I can tell her ALMOST! I’m excited! I bought playing for keeps and I’ll certainly have to shell out $5 (or even $8 or $20 or a $1bil- ok, maybe not THAT much. hehe).
I heard the interview on Hey Everybody. it got me psyched up. WOO!!!
