Anklecast 59 - Do Over (Part Four)

So, we have part four of my novella, "Do Over". Things are getting crazy. We find out who is on the other side of that door, and no, it's not Lazybones (sorry for the misdirecting red herring of a song). We find out just how bad this confusion from the two timelines can be. So, buckle up, strap in, and hit play for the penultimate episode of "Do Over."

Anklecast 58 - Do Over (Part Three)

It's episode three of my novella, Do Over. Joel and Jillian take a big step together as Joel changes his past to a future that he wants to live in. At the end of last episode, Joel caught Jillian snorting heroin, and now he has to deal with that problem...but it's only the beginning of the problems he will have to deal with. Jump in and enjoy the next installment of Do Over on The Anklecast.

Afterward, Rish and I review the comments that we received from listeners who said what they would like to have changed in their past if they got the opportunity to zig rather than zag. Then we add a few more examples of our own. Right click HERE to download. Enjoy!

Anklecast 57 - Do Over (Part Two)

Joel is back for more of his adventures in the past. He establishes himself and gets used to how things are now, but not everything is hunky dory. There were problems in the past, and they begin to rear their ugly heads at him. What will he do? How will he change things for the better? Keep listening to "Do Over" to find out!

This time, I do the episode solo. I talk about the struggles of writing and pose the question of whether it's worth it considering the trajectory of the world, particularly the new addition of AI to the mix. I really want to know what you think, so comment on it, my friends.

Anklecast 56 - Do Over (Part One)

This is the first part of my novella called "Do Over," in which a man who has reached the end of his rope gets the chance to go back and try again, and possibly avoid the mistakes that he's made in the past...or does he?

Afterward, Rish and I talk about some of the things we would like to go back and change if we had the chance to do so, and we open it up to the audience. Please comment and tell us about what you'd like to change in your past if only a strange ball of swirling light opened up for you and spat you out fifteen years in the past.

Anklecast 55 - The Ghost In The Monitor (Part Two)

It's arrived, the second half of my story from the very first Broken Mirror Story Event Rish and I ever did. Listen to find out what happened in Joe's search to find out why a ghost is haunting his home, particularly his baby monitor. Why is that ghost coming for his son?

Afterward, Rish and I talk about the story behind the story, why and how it was written, and just how much of it was autobiographical. (spoiler alert: It's just the boring parts that are real).

Anklecast 54 - The Ghost In The Monitor (Part One)

This month, I present my story from the first time Rish Outfield and I did a Broken Mirror Story Event. It's from so long ago that it was, by my count, my fourth completed story ever. It's got a good premise, though. Check it out: Joe, a young father of a newborn, is watching his child when he hears a voice threatening voice from the baby monitor. He rushes into the baby's room to find that...no one is there.

It's part one, this month. It's a really long story, so part two will be coming along very soon, but it was too much to fit into one episode. The story is presented in it's original state, and I think it's pretty decent for what it is.

All I can say is that Rish made me do it, folks. Hopefully, you enjoy it.

Anklecast 53: Sepia Tone Prison (Part Two)

Okay, folks, I'm back again with part two of "Sepia Tone Prison." It's time to find out whether William will finally get to move on to the next plane of existence, and what happens with Beth and Ryan. Jump right in, folks, the water's fine.

Afterward, Rish and I talk about why I wrote the story the way I did and whether I would have written it differently today. Spoiler alert: the answer isn't very satisfying.

Thanks to Bria Burton, Marshal Latham, and Rish Outfield for providing voices on the production.
