And if you are still having problems with the chapters email me at my contact listed on my website. Thank you, Arlene Hi again Dawn,

I have them in the full lengths in my itunes. Maybe if you go to my website http://www.radasky.com you can subscribe from there. I will send your concerns to Evo. I don't like to tease you! I want you to enjoy it in the fullest! Dawn,

Basically, they cut off right after Ms. Radasky's intro. Can this be corrected so I can listen again? Thanks. Several episodes were only a few seconds long.

I will have to listen again, however, several of the episodes were only 24 seconds long. Was that intentional to tease us? If not, I would like to listen again. No other issues, KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK! Thanks for sharing. I loved the story, and look forward to more…there will be more, right?

The thought for the story was taken from a real find of a bog body. I did a lot of research of both the ancient and modern story, so it is as accurate as I can get. You can learn more by going to my website. http://www.radasky.com Rich, thank you so much for the compliments and I am so glad you liked the story.

Arlene did a great jumping back and forth between the centuries and the lives of the Jahna and Aine. I don't know if the history is accurate, but it made for a great story. It brought to mind the movie "Brave Heart" only at a different period of time. I also enjoyed the music of Steve McDonald which is played at the end of each chapter.

I am very glad you are liking The Fox! Yes, I post the last chapter tomorrow. I am starting my next novel, Sea Hawk and read a bit of the beginning at the end of last chapter of The Fox. Sea Hawk will take a while to write as I do so much research for my stories. Sea Hawk is very ancient, 2400 BC and the research is fascinating. I do a write bit of poetry and other fun things so if you keep in touch though my website, you can see that and follow my progress. Also, follow the progress of the printing of The Fox, due out very soon. When you are done with mine, another good podcast to try is The Mark of a Druid, by my friend, Rhonda R Carpenter. Thank you again, Stephen, for your kind words. You delivered me a smile. Stephen, thank you so much! I am very glad you are liking The Fox! Yes, I post the last chapter tomorrow.

Really getting into it and getting attached to the characters. I think you captured the death of Lovern very well. Keep it up. Sounds like the story is coming towards its close. I'm torn in two between wanting to know what is going to happen next, and not wanting it to end. Are there going to be any other stories coming down the pipeline? Great story, Arlene.

Actually the next two as well as this one were very difficult. I love those people. I know, don't Steve's songs just sound like they were written for the chapters? I am so lucky he gave me permission to use them. Rhonda,

I got my backup hard disk and computer in the car and skeedadled. (Oops, where are those darned cats?) Anyway, with the not sleeping and constantly online to see if my house burned, I didn't get the extra chapters recorded I had planned. We are back in and all is hunkdorey, except I am experiencing random blackouts. I hope to be back on a good schedule soon. So, my cat did not eat my mouse, I am experiencing technical difficulties in getting the last and the next few chapters uploaded. I hope I am forgiven in the world of Podiobooks.

The first chapters may have been a bit rough. I hope to reread them and repost them when I am done. I may even add a few sound effects. One thing that you may not have picked up on and makes the ancient voices sound strained, is that there are no contractions in the writing, and should not be any in the reading. That is the way that part of the story came to me. The modern section has contractions. Barry,

Your voice has decent modulation and the pacing is mostly good but your syllables are all equally weighted. You need to give some attention to stressed vs unstressed syllables and words. Otherwise the flow and the emotions very forced and unconvincing. You have good stories. Find a voice coach. Hi, I like the stories you tell but please work on the delivery.
