For your consideration: “Amarnath: Journey to the shrine of a Hindu god.”

I’d say they’re onto something.

Noise Goes to Hungary

May 10th, 2012 by Darin

Now that it’s final, I can tell you that Hungarian Publisher Főnix Könyvműhely has bought the Hungarian rights to Noise . . . or, should I say, Zaj. As the publisher puts it:

Szintén egy disztópikus jövőben játszódik Darin Bradley Zaj című debütáló regénye.
A modern kori Legyek urának is nevezett könyv egy olyan világban játszódik, amelyben megtörtént a teljes átállás az analóg televíziózásról a digitálisra, ám a felszabadult frekvenciákat egy világuralomra törő szervezet teszi magáévá, hamarosan vérbe borítva a világot. Két fiatalember, két korábbi cserkész és szerepjátékos száll szembe az új világrenddel, és indul a titokzatos Amaranth megkeresésére. (Tervezett megjelenés: 2012. Ünnepi könyvhét)

Or, if you prefer:

Also in a dystopian future takes Darin Bradley Noise ‘s debut novel.
Modern Flies Lord also called the book a world takes place, which made ​​the whole transition from analogue to digital television, but the released frequencies to a world-domination-breaking organization to embrace, and soon blood covered the world. Two young men, two former scouts and players stay in to face the new world order, starting with the mysterious Amaranth request. (Scheduled release: 2012th Festive Book Week)

I love that translation.

FCC Opens White Spaces

March 30th, 2012 by Darin

From the FCC:

“Washington, D.C. – Washington, D.C. – Today, the Federal Communications Commission issued a Public Notice announcing that the Office of Engineering and Technology (OET) has approved Spectrum Bridge Inc.’s television white spaces database system, which may provide service to devices beginning January 26, 2012. OET has also approved a device by Koos Technical Services, Inc. (KTS) as the first product allowed to operate on an unlicensed basis on unused frequencies in the TV bands. The KTS device will operate in conjunction with the Spectrum Bridge TV band database.”

Here comes Salvage.

Reading at TCU

December 28th, 2011 by Darin

So, I don’t do terribly many readings, but every now and then, I crawl out into the light for some company. For those in the D/FW area, I’m giving a reading at TCU on January 25. Admission is free, of course, and there might even be time for a few questions if you have some.

Project Nike Photos

Years ago, before I ever started drafting Noise, I was fortunate enough to get to crawl around in a decommissioned Project Nike missile base. Seeing the massive missile elevators and the expansive concrete chambers on a dark and wet night was a fascinating experience, and the images stayed with me. Later, I tapped into these recollections when I placed the fictional missile base in west Texas in a later chapter of the novel. These sites are fascinating, and while these pictures show a well-lit, dry facility, you can still imagine one dripping with ruin or ravaged by a dust storm.
