After their capture, Ace and the gang are in rough shape but Ivan has an ace up his sleeve. Pun! By using the cybernetic spike he uses to jack into computers, Ivan is able to peel up part of the floor and, with Hank’s help, gain access to free them all. Their elation is short lived as they discover The Shiny Man has taken them back to the year 1935 with the intention of killing Elvis in the womb. Ace must make a decision that has consequences across all of space and time.
A Little Commentary
And...We're back. I hope a one-week hiatus wasn't too much for y'all to take. I know it was murder for me. But we're back and the action is just about to get KA-RAY-ZEE!! Just so you know, we are plowing head-long with new episodes every week until the conclusion of Season One in six weeks. That's right kids, we're on a collision course for glory! Ace and the gang have just six more episodes to wrap this crazy adventure up. Will they succeed? Will they fail? Will The Shiny Man win? Will Hank ever stop using the F Word!? You'll just have to iTune in (crappy pun) and find out!

Ace learns more about the secret and awesome nature of Elvis’s Cadillac... and then everything goes to hell.
A Little Commentary
Shit. Goes. Down!
This was an awesome (and hard) scene to write. When it came time to record, I spent a lot of time trying to capture the emotional impact on Ace and gang through the performance, sound effects and music.
This is the moment where everything, for everyone, changes forever...for better or for worse.
But, at least we learn what REALLY happened at Roswell, New Mexico in 1947. So, that’s pretty cool.
This is also the mid-season break. New episodes will resume in two weeks and we will plow through Act 3 until we culminate on a very awesome and very satisfying conclusion over the next seven weeks.

After Ace’s tummy settles, he runs into April Massey as she is trying to drag her Elvis impersonator brother away from the chaos surrounding Graceland. Betty and the Cadillac are drawn together and rocket into outer space--but not before Ivan uses the grappling beam to scoop up Ace, April and (the suddenly appeared) Agent Calhoun. Once on board, Ace learns that the Cadillac is no ordinary car and has a secret that changes everything.
A Little Commentary
This episode really heats up the story and the danger. For, it is here you learn how and why Elvis Presley had a Cadillac Eldorado Biarritz hidden in the master bedroom of Graceland for so many years.
The stakes are raised and things get more bizarre than you can possibly imagine.
This episode also contains one of my favorite scenes! Ivan has a huge distaste for Mary Ann, the plucky farm girl from the classic TV show, "Gilligan's Island." And you'll find out why...

In the secret underground tunnels that run to Graceland, Ace is met by a foul-mouthed guard tasked with keeping everyone except Elvis out. By using some quick thinking, Ace makes it into Graceland where he finds the source of the weird energy readings Betty’s scanners picked up earlier that day. Thwarted again, Ace and Ivan attempt coming at the problem from a new angle...with terrible results.
A Little Commentary
This episode really shines because we get to know my FAVORITE character in the entire series: Hank the Basset hound.
There is also a ton of action! And it was fun to act out Ace’s (and the rest’s) reactions to what’s going down.
Also, Ace FINALLY makes it into Graceland and learns there are some crazy ass secrets on the second floor.
This episode also has the best and most dramatic ending (yet) of any episode in the series. I really struggled with whether or not to let what happens actually go down. But, the story comes first…
If you only get ONE uncensored episode, this is the one to get. Hank really, REALLY, REALLY has a filthy mouth.

This episode is a pivotal one in our tale. It is here where Ace gleans tons of new information about the strange circumstances surrounding much of Elvis Presley's life. A major inspiration for much of this odd trivia came from the wacky and wonderful book Alien Rock: The Rock 'n' Roll Extraterrestrial Connection by Michael Luckman. It's completely nuts but if you're into weird conspiracy theories, rock n roll and aliens, it's definitely worth a read. Of course, the mythology I've built around Elvis Presley for Ace Tucker Space Trucker is much more elaborate (and nuts).
My Interview with Tom and Dan
I did a 20-minute interview with the greatest 'caster is the biz: Tom and Dan. It was super fun and you can feast your ear-holes on it over at A Corporate Time with Tom and Dan. The interview aired on terrestrial radio on Real Radio 104.1 in Orlando on June 30, 2017 and you can listen to it over and over thanks to the miracle of the Interwebz here.
Episode 06: Strange Things are Afoot on Elvis Presley Blvd.
April takes Ace to the punk show where he learns about bizarre and otherworldly events that transpired throughout Elvis Presley’s life. Ivan breaks up Ace’s conversation with an Elvis trivia expert because things have gotten weird at the area surrounding Graceland. When Ace gets back to Elvis Presley Blvd, he learns “weird” is just the tip of the iceberg.

Before the show, Ace and Ivan try to sneak into Graceland but things go haywire. Then, an Elvis impersonator gives Ace a cryptic message.

This was a super fun episode to create. It's no secret I love fried chicken (and have the waistline to prove it) and it was fun to pass my love of fried chicken onto Ace Tucker. Since Ace grew up in outer space, he's been eating non-Earth food his entire life. I thought it would be cool to explore a human's first reaction to fried chicken. Hence, the excitement in Ace's voice when he proclaims, "Oh man! I have GOT to see what's going on inside that KFC!"
This episode also brings in one of my favorite characters, the potty-mouthed spitfire KFC cashier, April Massey. She will become a more central character in the coming episodes and it's awesome to let you guys finally meet her.
And to make Episode 4 even cooler, a brand new Red Hot Rebellion song is being premiered today! Riker's Beard is available exclusively through the Episode 4 - UNCENSORED (Plus 9 Songs) download. Get the episode and all the cool tunes used therein (including Riker's Beard) for only $0.99!
