There won’t be a podcast episode this week. David is moving and has been without internet. It didn’t seem right to make him worry about recording amidst the general frustration of moving! We’ll be back next Tuesday with a new episode. Hope everyone has a great week!

This poor blog has been neglected for a bit. This week’s episode really threw me for a loop. I haven’t had so much trouble writing for some time now. I scrapped three ideas (and lots of plotting) and modified the one that I didn’t scrap more than once. I think it came out pretty well in the end. Sorry it wasn’t up last Tuesday.

We had a nice Texas rain today, the first one in awhile. It felt fantastic, especially considering the 109 degree heat yesterday. It was kind of a defining moment of the end of Summer. Everything seems to relax a bit and fall into routine when such a large part of the population heads back to school.

Remember, if you’d rather read the story you can do so here. As always, thanks for joining us tonight!

In part two of Pushed To The Edge the walls begin to close in around Alsalam as he returns to his home village. Instead of a warm welcome he finds the town quiet and the streets empty. Things quickly turn from bad to worse and he discovers exactly why the people are in hiding.

Check out the podcast page if you missed part one. As always, thanks for listening!

Tonight we start a brand new story! Pushed To The Edge is another way of trying something new. Trying new accents, and hopefully a bit larger scale than any podcast story I’ve written so far. We shall see how this goes! I’ll re-post the synopsis for anyone who missed it last week.

For fifteen years invaders from the distant land of Kalleth have held Alsalam in servitude to their army, but they’ve brought peace and prosperity as well. When a murderous and enslaving change in command comes down from the eastern King, Alsalam must use the military knowledge he’s learned from them not only to defend himself, but all the tribes of his homeland.

As always, thanks for joining us!

This 7th story is going to be delayed a week. We talked more about tonight’s episode and decided that we wanted to try another take or two before posting it. This story is going to have more accents than anything we’ve tried before. Getting those voices consistently right is something we want to do a good job of. Below is the synopsis for the story, Pushed To The Edge. Check back next Tuesday for part one! I think this one is going to be fun.

I should have gotten this up yesterday, but I had to work until after midnight, then be up again at 7 this morning, and I didn’t have the audio at the time. My apologies! Here is Adventures Through The Window in its entirety. I hope everyone liked this story, I enjoyed many parts of it, but I’m still uncertain of it as a whole. Not that I think it’s bad, but there are parts I think could have been better by going back in with some more editing, but alas, that’s not an option with these podcasts!

Next week we’ll start a whole new story, so be sure to check back. It’s going to be another adult story, in the high fantasy genre I love so much. I’ll tell you guys more about it later in the week.

If you liked this one, feel free to tell your friends about it! We always love more readers/listeners.

Tonight is the conclusion of Adventures Through The Window! I’ve had a lot of fun with this story. The idea of bringing sense to a world of nonsense turned out a lot different than I originally thought it would. TJ’s been a good protagonist, but I’m already working on the next hero to tell us a tale. I’m feeling really good about the notes I have so far. It’s going to be nice to get back into a more adult, high fantasy story.

As always, thanks for joining us.

In last week’s post TJ learned that not all great deeds are followed by cheers and thanks. His latest companion didn’t even say a word to him about it. Now he must once again figure out who he’s traveling with, and if the cat knows Jester. TJ’s come to enjoy his time through the window, and he’s eager to discover what more there is in store for him.

There’s a special 4th of July treat that we managed to sneak in there for you guys. I hope everyone had a fun and safe holiday! As always, we hope you enjoy the story.
