“Tales of a Scorched Coffee Pot” — chapter A1 soundtracked

This is a fun little collaboration I did with Venezuelan rock band El Globo Oscuro. It was their idea, actually, and I was more than happy to jump on it, because they are awesome. I already enjoyed their music but only recently discovered that their name translates as “The Dark Globe,” a handle they chose in honor of a Syd Barrett song. So that felt like a cool piece of synchronicity, as a huge Floyd and Barrett fan myself.

Anyway, this is me reciting the first chapter of my forthcoming novel, Tales of a Scorched Coffee Pot, soundtracked by their musical accompaniment. And then a bunch of appicable images pertaining to the project. This probably works best if you click through to watch it full-sized on Youtube. Either way, I think it turned out really well, and hope you do too! Here’s the video:

Don’t forget that Tales is now available for pre-order on Amazon, with an official launch date of March 20, 2024. If you like what you’ve read/seen/heard thus far, get your copy today! Also for those of you brave enough to review my epic work here, I could be persuaded to send you an advance copy — if so just leave me your email address in a comment, or else feel free to send me a message at jasonmcgatheywriter@gmail.com and I will get one out to you.

Thanks for your support!
