Visit the Timberwolf Broadcast Schedule for more details on new episodes and other exciting titles: http://timberwolfpress.com/broadcast_schedule/ "Ron is unfairly talented! I expect he'll get fed up with being called the new J.B. Cabell." -- Sir Arthur C Clarke Before TV's Warrior Princess, Before the Golden Lasso, fiction�s first major Warrior-Woman was Ludovico Ariosto�s Bradamant, the heroine of his classic 16th century poem, Orlando Furioso. In 7th century Europe of myths, gods and monsters, Bradamant vanquishes evil knights, rescues the unfortunate, fights black magic and destroys entire armies in her adventurous quest for her lost lover, Roggero, an enemy knight she once rescued at the risk of her own life. Roggero in turn must battle monsters, giants and evil sorceresses in his quest to be reunited with Bradmant in this epic retelling of her story, with new, original illustrations by the author and by Gustave Dore from his classic 19th century edition of Orlando Furioso. More praise for BRADAMANT: "Bradamant is the definitive female butt-kicker, and Ron Miller does a dynamite job of novelizing her adventures . . . highly recommended." -- Mark E. Rogers, author of Zorachus, The Dead and Samurai Cat "Ron Miller has a startling dramatic range--- he can write everything from powerful romantic lyricism to the ironically whimsical--a modern voice with classical strength." -- Stephen Hickman, author of The Lemurian Stone ". . . hilarious, extraordinary writing . . . [that] reminds me of James Branch Cabell [and] Italo Calvino . . . left me gasping for more." -- Martin Olson, novelist, screenwriter, producer (Penn and Teller's Sin City Spectacular) "A grand story, expertly written. The comparison to Cabel is apt." -- George Zebrowski, John W. Campbell Award winner for Brute Orbits ...about BRADAMANT: (DALLAS) Fantasy/science fiction maestro Ron Miller, accused of being "unfairly talented" by the legendary science fiction author Arthur C. Clarke, has brought to life fiction�s original woman warrior in an effervescent tale of romance, magic and treachery, all set in Charlemagne�s Europe. BRADAMANT has been produced as a FREE unabridged dramatic audio series broadcast in weekly episodes at http://www.timberwolfpress.com. BRADAMANT will soon be available in: - MP3 download format - E-Book - CD-ROM - Audio CD - Book-on-Tape - Trade paperback (available now) - Tune in each Friday for all 30 episodes! BRADAMANT, inspired by the 16th century epic poem "Orlando Furioso," features a female protagonist that novelist Mark E. Rogers calls "the definitive female butt-kicker." Breaking from the fantasy action hero tradition where a man is always the knight on a white horse and the woman is always a damsel in distress-- this time it�s a woman swinging the sword, creating a fantasy action hero that a male could never be. In addition to publishing traditional books of paper, Timberwolf turns their titles into Internet audio books using the technology that Timberwolf Publishing�s President and CEO Patrick Seaman helped pioneer at Broadcast.com (the site that later merged with Yahoo! in a $5.4 billion deal). In a galloping jump over previous audio books, Timberwolf uses this technology with well-known professional actors to produce a sound story worthy of the 21st century. "We aim to dazzle," said Timberwolf Executive Producer Jim Cline. Timberwolf�s first audio story (and the Internet�s), A SMALL PERCENTAGE, remains one of the world's most listened-to Internet audiobooks. All 42 episodes are still available, FOR FREE, at http://www.timberwolfpress.com! An accomplished artist and illustrator as well as a master wordsmith, Miller�s best selling book History of the Earth has just been optioned for a 3-D IMAX film. His space exploration-themed art is featured in the Smithsonian Museum, the Pushkin Museum in Moscow, scores of book jackets, and magazines ranging from Scientific American to Newsweek. If voices you hear in the production sound familiar, it is because they are. The role of Bradamant is played by Kathy Garver, best known for her role as "Cissy" in Family Affair, as well as her roles in a slew of films across a thirty-year career ranging from The Ten Commandments to Apollo 13 to Billy Madison. Timberwolf has more releases slated for production in upcoming months. The frenetically paced techno-thriller ALL THE TEA by U.S. Army Reserve Commander Ken Carodine finds the U.S. and China in an all-too-possible face-off over hot fusion on a small island in the South China Sea. In CALCULATED RISK, hot new author Denise Tiller tells the story of a small-town actuary who discovers counting dead people for a living can be murder when the bodies start multiplying.
