If you’ve been wondering what Patrick has been working on, here’s the scoop: He’s been working on talking about himself in the 3rd person and on a new novel called Unkillable. (Because talking about yourself in the 3rd person is kind of lame, the rest of this post will be about the novel.)
Unkillable is the story of a young man named Dan. We meet him as he is dragged out into an alley and stabbed in the heart with a screwdriver. Predictably, he dies. But then, less predictably, a rat comes along and offers him a chance at revenge. Of course Dan takes it and the rat brings him back to life. Sort of.

Dan has two weeks to kill the men who did him in. He’s not alive, but he’s not dead. He can’t be killed, but he can be hurt. He’s kind of like a thoughtful Zombie. It’s a ripper of a tale and was a hell of lot of fun to write.
Unkillable will be available for free in podcast form; On a donation basis in e-book form; and in a book form when the podcast is complete.
More updates soon, but for now, be of good cheer. More content is in the pipe.
Does Jonathan Coulton come into this anywhere?
First off, let me just say – you picked the best name in existence for your protagonist. That out of the way, awesome!!! I’m really excited to hear a new book from you. I happen to think that you are an amazing writer. Also, I’m almost done listening to all the stuff in The Seanachai which has convinced me of your writing greatness. I can’t wait for it to drop, it sounds really cool.
Patrick,
Thank you for being you and writing alot like you which you would of course becouse you are, well, you.
I look forward to more of your amazing skill with the words and their ordering.

Can. Not. Wait. But, I must.
Will this be released all at once, or one podcast a day d’you think?
Thanks! Congrats! Keep it up!

Patrick,
Hey- glad to hear of the new novel- can’t wait to tune in. Loved HTSIE, wishing for a sequel. Still wishing you could get on a podcast with Lew Rockwell, He is starting them up again ever since appearing on Free Talk Live with Ian and Mark.
Thinking of life in Nee Hampshire- The Free State Project?
Take care,

I’ve been missing my PEM fix since the Seanachi ended. Very psyched for another audiobook of your unique (and hilarious) sense of humor.
One word…squeeeee!!!
I’m sure it will be awesome!
For the podcast, do you already have a feed set up so I can catch it as soon as it is ready?
I’ve been looking forward to this ever since that little sample you slung my way.
Cheers!

Ooooh. I can’t wait to hear it! I’ve been missing the Seanachai.
(Oh, and incidentally: I believe that may in fact be the 3rd person. Just thought I’d mention it…)
YEA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Patrick I gotta say I’ve been a huge fan of How to succeed in evil. You and Douglas Adams are my all time favorite authors. I found it back in January and have listen to it completely at least once a month since. I am so looking forward to Unkillable. I’m so excited to see more work from you. Thank you for doing this for your humble fans.
Joyfully looking forward to Unkillable and hopefully more How to Succeed in Evil in the near future!
