A Study in Scarlett CD coverWe take a listen to some excerpts from Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s first Sherlock Holmes novel, A Study in Scarlet.  I play for you some excerpts from the first section of the book.  You’ll hear how Sherlock and Watson meet, how Sherlock makes the deductions he does, how he processes the crime scene, and his solution for this heinous crime.  This is all from my production of this book that is now available at a special price.  I invite you to take a listen!

#82-Risen: The Story of Lazarus

lazarusThis week, we break from our look at audio books to delve into some spiritual areas.  I recently spent a weekend dealing with the deaths of two parents in two families close to me. Putting these two events so close together stirred my soul deeply.  When I got back to my home church the following weekend, I heard a lesson from John 11 on Lazarus.  What should our perspective be on a story of resurrection?  I share this lesson with you on this podcast.  (This podcast is a bit longer than usual.  I hope you can hang with me!)

Crying coverDo You Want to Play a GamePayback coverSlimmer Amazon cover

This week, I’m back with a look at the Four Spooky Offerings of 2016 for Halloween.  We look at Slimmer, Do You Want to Play a Game?, Payback, and Crying Through Plastic Eyes; all short stories written by Regina Puckett.  I play you samples from two of the books and share a little of the plot lines.  But you have to listen to the books to find the endings!

avatars-of-web-surfer-cover-crop-smThen it’s time to look forward to the next offering coming from Narration by George: Avatars of Web-Surfer.  This is a collaborative effort of four authors to bring a great Science Fiction idea to life.  I’ve got an audio sample of an early version of the book for you to sample.  And we talk about the Virtual Release Party for this new book.  Exciting stuff!

No Podcast This Week

Hey Everyone.  Sorry for the lack of a podcast this week.  However, I am suffering from two maladies.

  • My Comcast connection has slowed to a crawl – almost to a stand-still – and doesn’t look as if it will recover before the day is out.  It’s a little hard to upload something that may take hours.  Thank you Comcast!
  • My lack of inspiration for this week.  For some reason, I just don’t have a great idea for sharing with you.  Rather than bore you, pick up on a podcast you haven’t listened to this week.

Thanks for your patience.  I’ll see you next week with the Narration by George Podcast – the podcast on audiobooks, spiritual ideas, and other items of interest.

(just released today) and Payback.  And there is the new Science Fiction epic, Second Earth M-104 by Michael Miller.  (The Captain just doesn’t get Sci-Fi!)  In the end, I was able to get the police involved and now he’s spending the night in jail.

#76-Other Worldly Tales #3

Knighthawke-NEW-WEB-ICONKNIGHTHAWKE--VS-NEW-WEB-ICOWe’ve been looking at tales where the setting is an “other worldly” one.  But, what if our main character is “other worldly” and set in our modern day world.  We take a look at such a character today known as “Knighthawke”.  Author Jerry Minchew created Knighthawke as the main character for the book bearing his name and the sequel, Knighthawke: Vanishing Shadows.  Michael is an ordinary young man with ordinary aspirations who is caught in an unbelievable set of events which make him over into an “other-worldly” character.  Take a listen to some samples in today’s podcast!

#75-Other Worldly Tales #2

Cover-AudioOur look into tales of other worlds – even just altered earths – continues today with an in-depth look at The Destined.  This is a tale of evil powers which arise every 700 years or so and threaten earth.  To counter this threat, others are imbued with gifts to fight this evil and set things right again.  This story tells the story of a High School Teacher and a few teens who have been imbued with this power.  The question is, will they know how to use it to save the planet from total annihilation.  It’s a such a fast moving action-adventure-other worldly tale that it’s hard to stop listening.
