That sounds like it has to do with swine doesn’t it?  You’re right, it does.  Sort of.  Swine, and a lot of other animal species, only in anthropomorphic style.

Piggy Moto is the brainchild of our own Nicholas “FlippantMoniker” McRae.  The story is about a small, starting sounder who travels half way across the world to enter a musical talent contest.

What do you mean that sounds boaring?  Believe me when I tell you that boredom is the last thing you’ll be contending with when you experience Piggy Moto.  The story is enthralling and very difficult to put down.

But how can I enjoy something I’ve never heard of?  Like many other really good stories, All Star Boar Band is another tale that got passed up by the publishers and could have easily gone the way of “I Give Up.”  Instead, Nick is publishing the story podcast style.  He’s recording chapters now, with yours truly providing a few of the female voices, but he’s working on an all star and new comer cast as well.

As I’ve always felt that stories should be summarized by their writer’s words, I’ll give you the blurb for Piggy Moto:

It ain’t easy being small, and being a pig is no cakewalk, either.  For Cecil “Eberhard” Berringer – dwarf, porcine musician – life’s just one pain-in-the-butt after another.  He and his friends can’t even participate in a simple, foreign music competition without things going to the Hells in a haversack.  Hope and ambition rapidly turn to paranoia and dread as Eberhard and his friends are thrust into an investigation to bring down a deranged saboteur before mere pranks turn deadly.  As opening night draws close, the swine find themselves reconsidering whether social equality is worth dying for.

So, ya hooked yet?  If not you can find out more about Piggy Moto – All Star Boar Band by visiting the website.  You can pick up a trailer there, read more from Nick and see that this story is kicking off on the next full moon, September 15, 2008.

I think you’ll enjoy Piggy Moto, and I hope you’ll give it a listen.
