  • Round The Fire Stories by Arthur Conan Doyle #2: The Beetle Hunter

    Round The Fire Stories by Arthur Conan Doyle #2: The Beetle Hunter
    2023/03/23
    This is a live read recording of a reading done for the Trotsdale Library of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's "The Beetle Hunter" from his collection "Round the Fire Stories." As this reading is not done in a sound treated room there is a difference in quality between this and how I record for audiobooks done for or via ACX, Fiverr, or Findaway Voices.
    Recorded October 11, 2020Processed October 20, 2020
    Life got in the way of uploading to the podcast. It went up on Youtube the year intended though.

  • Round The Fire Stories (Conan Doyle) 1: Leather Funnel

    Round The Fire Stories (Conan Doyle) 1: Leather Funnel
    2023/03/23
    This is a recording of a live read done for the Trotsdale Library in Second Life of the short story "Leather Funnel" from the collection "Round the Fire Stories" by Arthur Conan Doyle as part of my contribution to Halloween and Nightmare Night festivities. This book is in the Public Domain and freely available to download at Gutenberg.org. This is yet another catch up post that did not manage to make it over when it was supposed to.
    Not intended for children.
    As this recording had to be done while sitting by the computer to allow for speedy response in case of raids this is not at the usual quality of recording and was not done with my usual setup. It has been reduced down to mono due to some issues found in the recording file.

    Chinese Folk Tales #18 The Pop-eyed Dragonfly and the Earthworm
    2023/03/23
    In the old days they say body parts could be loaned. In this tale we learn why Dragonfly has such large eyes and why the earthworm has none. This was supposed to have been uploaded in October of 2020, but things were a little chaotic for me.

    Flash Fiction Fridays #37: Delicious (Horror)
    2020/08/07

    A pigeon begins to feed on his own and is kicked out of his flock. He makes some new friends and goes to a rather sad place with a flock of crows for some disturbingly strange fare. Questionable choices are made by our possibly misguided bird friend and he makes a grisly discovery. This short flash fiction of a horror is NOT for the squeamish.

    Flash Fiction Fridays Bonus: Ame Reads: The Witches' Creed by Doreen Valiente
    2020/08/07

    I am not feeling very well lately and have several illustrations to do as well as the writing for Flash Fiction Month. With two upcoming doctor appointments requiring long distance travel this month I will be slowing down. It has been a bit since a meditation or a poetry reading. With this in mind I hope you enjoy Doreen Valiente's "The Witches' Creed" as read by myself and set to music. It can be read here: https://www.sacred-texts.com/bos/bos083.htm
