In an alternate universe, Frantic Puppets might have been a hit New Wave band had a 1986 fire not destroyed their master recordings. Finally available in 2025.

This is cool! Our song "You've Got the Kiss" is this week's HiTTiP on maxhitradio24.nl/ in the Netherlands.

Since Mark Love announced it on his blog today (with my encouragement), it’s a good time to share when and how you’ll be able to buy A Fine and Dangerous Season. This book will exclusively debut on July 11 as part of the 2025 Writers of the Future bundle. This eBook bundle will feature Volume 41 of Writers and Illustrators of the Future and a tribute to Eric Flint (edited by Lisa Mangum), along with novels by some of WotF’s bestselling judges: Kevin J. Anderson, Robert J. Sawyer, Jody Lynn Nye, Nancy Kress, Laird Sean Williams, Eric Flint, Todd McCaffrey, and Mark Leslie Lefebvre. It will also feature novels by many past winners (and friends) including David Hankins, Steve Pantazis, editor Storm Michael Humbert, editor Stephen Kotowych, Lazarus Black, Eric James Stone, Lance Robinson, and Desmond Astaire. And me! The way the bundle will work is that on July 11, the site will open for orders. For one low price, you can get the 5 ebooks in the Base Bundle. For a higher price (but still a bargain!), you can get the 18 ebooks in the Extended Bundle (which includes the 5 from the Base Bundle). I am honored to be invited to join in this bundle, especially with so many good friends. Remember: If you want to be among the first to read the final version of A Fine and Dangerous Season, it’ll be exclusive to the Writers of the Future 2025 bundle.

On Friday, April 18. we're releasing a single that's a cover of "Rumor of Love" by Berlin. This is a beautiful song from Berlin's Love Life album. We hope you'll like the Frantic Puppets take on it.

This is kind of cool. Someone (not me!) added “Scarlet Desire” to their Spotify playlist “The Best Synthpop Of all Time“. open.spotify.com/playlist/2C…

I’m afraid I did things a little backwards and created the Frantic Puppets logo after I’d already uploaded the albums to the distributor. I got some advice that for branding purposes, the album covers should feature the logo, so I came up with new album covers.

Our first album, FEEL THE FIRE, is out now! It’s been waiting almost 40 years to be heard. (Can we still call it New Wave if it's that old?) distrokid.com/hyperfollow/fr…
