As the moving and rebuild of the Narration by George studio progresses, we look back at some popular podcasts that have been presented and maybe one you’ve been missed. This is a retrospective episode that was presented at the first of this year. I reviewed some titles that are available and some of the distribution issues that we are still facing. I also looked forward to new distribution channels and new authors. And I start with an interview with new author Donna Patton. Take a listen!
P.S. Have you checked out my newest offerings? The Destined and A Study in Scarlet are now available on CD Baby, Audible.com, and in the I-Tunes store. Click on the title for more info or go to narrationbygeorge.com/books.

If you listened last week, you know that we are going to feature some older podcasts as “re-casts” for the next four weeks while I move and re-build my studio in a new home. This week’s re-cast features my friend and author, Becky Wooley. As a minister’s wife and church secretary, she has the inside scoop on how churches run. And she has taken that information and some great imagination to write the clerical crime novel, Non-Prophet Murders. Grit along with three pastors find themselves the target of a killer. Can Grit and his girlfriend, Grace, find the killer before he or she strikes again! Full of humor, satire, and some scary moments, Non-Prophet Murders keeps you guessing “who-dun-it.” Listen and find out how she does it!
I interview author Michael Miller in this week’s podcast. Michael is the author of The Sixth Lobe and Born to Matter, books we looked at on podcasts #51 & #52. Michael’s writing is detailed and exciting, with the action jumping off the page into your imagination. His characters are varied and interesting. And his subject matter is unique. Imagine a boy and, later, a man with the ability to read your subconscious thoughts. Or a space traveler assumed to be dead, returning to earth through a “fold” in space. Or that same traveler bringing aliens with him. How about more Biblical documents like the Dead Sea Scrolls. Such is the imagination of Michael Miller. Join me for a fascinating interview!
Since this is Holy Week in the Christian calendar, I have produced a narrative of the events of Holy Week – from the arrest of Jesus through the resurrection – based totally on the Scriptures. Rather than rely on just one of the Gospel narratives, I have meshed the four narratives together in one cogent story. I pray that you are blessed by this telling of these important events – the most important events in all of history!
This week, we continue sampling the story of Danny Wilson. This is the second of Michael Miller’s books featuring this remarkable young man. In Born to Matter, Danny returns to the United States to settle old scores. In the process, he makes both new enemies and new friends. He settles his scores and makes a mark on lives that show he really was Born to Matter!
This week’s podcast is the first of three podcasts featuring books by author Michael Miller. This week’s book, The Sixth Lobe, is the first of two telling Danny Wilson’s story. In this book, we meet 10 year old Danny and discover that he has an additional lobe in his brain. With this lobe, he is able to read the sub-conscious thoughts of those around him. This presents problems for the child; while some adults with nefarious goals decide that this is a useful ability to tap into. This conflict leads to an amazing climax. Listen to some samples from this book in this podcast. (Next week, we’ll meet the adult Danny.)
My 50th podcast features the first author who entrusted me with a book for production, Regina Puckett. I interviewed her to talk about her about her award winning books, writing, her future projects, and the Warren Family. The Warren Family?
This week’s Audio Book of the Week is a great murder mystery full of satire and commentary about matters involving the way we Christians do “church”. How do murder and church go together? Check out Becky Wooley’s clerical crime novel, Non-Prophet Murders. It’s a great listen which we sample in this podcast.
