[edit] Novels: Print and Podcast
In March 2005, Sigler started podcasting his novel "EarthCore." The book had been picked up for publishing, but after the attacks of 9/11 the publisher did not contact him. He decided to podcast the novel to build hype.
After EarthCore's success, Sigler released "Ancestor" then "Infection". Currently, he is broadcasting "The Rookie."
• "EarthCore" is available as a podcast novel at Podiobooks.com and was published in paperback by Dragon Moon Press, 2005
• "Ancestor" is available as a podcast novel from Podiobooks.com and also due out in print from Dragon Moon Press on April 1, 2007 and was released as a free PDF.
• "Infection", available as a podcast novel from Podiobooks.com, 2006 (to be renamed "Infested" for the print version)
• "The Rookie", a podcast novel or Podiobook in progress since 25th of September 2006, available at Podshow.com
[edit] Future Stories
• "Earthcore II: Mt. Fitzroy" was officially announced at the September 2006 Portable Media Expo (now renamed "The Podcast & New Media Expo") in Ontario, California. The podcast sequel to "Earthcore" follows a heavily-armed team led by the surviving Patrick O'Doyle as they head off to the other known Rocktopi site at Mt. Fitzroy, Argentina. While no official release date has been announced, the author stated it would be out approximately one year from the date of the 2006 Expo.

[edit] Trivia
- On episodes released the week of June 5th 2006, Sigler and fellow podcast novelist J. C. Hutchins announced a contest called "Share The Pain" in which listeners are to identify the six instances in which the storyline of Sigler's "Infection" podcast novel collide with that of Hutchins' "7th Son". The contest was run by Sigler, Hutchins and Podcast Pickle.
- Scott Sigler has made mention of another Scott Sigler, who performs as a clown and has apparently been mistaken for Scott the author. Strangely or suspiciously, the "other" Scott Sigler's clown name is Mookie, the same as Scott's dog.
- On Monday 19th March 2007, Ancestor was released as a free Adobe Acrobat download to subscribers of Scott Sigler's Podcast feed, as well as to subscribers of several podcasts that belonged to the Farpoint Media network.
