It's a good thing the A/C kicked on when it did, while listening to part 24 at work :) Whew! I’m really enjoying this story, and am eagerly awaiting each new addition.

I don't have super long distances in common with either you or Lindsay. Have you seen Julie Berg's blog? She writes about various ultra marathons.

Prefer to run in the dirt when possible. Have done 4 road marathons and lot's of 20s on & off road. 50 yrs old, never broken 4 hours though last year did my personal best. Still working on it. Any run's you'd suggest? I live in northern Utah. Haven’t decided. Prefer to run in the dirt when possible.

Chambliss Wed, 20 Jan 2010 14:28:53 +0000 http://www.podiobooks.com/blog/?p=1821#comment-318473 Hi! I just wanted to let you all know that I've contributed a signed copy of the print version of Dreaming of Deliverance to "The Boom Effect", a fundraiser for Sonic Boom, the daughter of Podiobooks.com founder Tee Morris. As I'm sure you're already aware, Tee lost his wife Natalie unexpectedly earlier this month, and Phillipa Ballentine has set up an online auction to raise money for 5-year-old Sonic Boom's future college expenses. So if you don't want to wait the several more months that it's going to take to finish the podcast novel version of Dreaming of Deliverance (we're half-way through at this point) go to http://www.theboomeffect.org/ and bid on the print version. I will ship the book anywhere in the world--including (Sacha and Kenn) Nova Scotia and the Netherlands! You can find out what's going to happen to Lindsay, and at the same time help some great real-life people during this tragic time. Thanks so much! -Renee Hi!

One of the great things about creating a story yourself, is that you get to make the calls about names, etc. And while I love imaginative stories, I like to do things my own way so I tried to make the setting, characters, and story unique. Jane- Our reactions to stories are personal and subjective, of course, but I need to be invested with the characters before the big action begins--it makes it all mean more to me somehow. That's not to say I consciously did DoD that way, because developing the story has been a very unconscious, organic process, but I'm guessing that's why it doesn't start with a huge bang. Anyway, I'm thrilled that you are enjoying the story and don't want to give anything away, but I will say the stakes are going to continue to go up. Thanks so much for your thoughts. By the way based on what you both have said, I'm probably going to have a new promo soon. Thanks again, everyone, for listening and commenting! If you have any questions or additional input, please post them here or on my blog: http://reneewrite.blogspot.com/ I will definitely respond! I can't express how exciting and surreal it is to learn that people are listening and becoming invested in the story. "Great" doesn't even begin to cover it! Patrick- Thank you so much!

I was a bit tepid from the synopsis but gave Dreaming of Deliverance a shot anyway and I'm so glad I did. The first dozen chapters, and I'm thinking okay - intersting story, characters are growing on me, but what's the big deal...and then bam... you tear at my heart. Death! Danger! Evil! Now I'm fully invested in these folks, waiting for the next episode (and the next shoe) to drop. Thank you for a wonderful tale. Looking forward to the rest. Renee, wow!

I really like this book and recommend it! Renee has come out swinging with what I believe is her first book. It is much more genre and action oriented then the promo lets on. This is not to say that Lindsay is Indiana Jones, but dire things are happening in Trae and it's far from a cookie cutter, swords-and-sandals fantasy realm. I also appreciate that she used place and people names that I can actually pronounce instead of fake-Gallic names with lots of apostrophes and dashes. It makes the whole thing much easier to follow.

I'm trying to get one episode up a week, but I had to do some rerecording, which set me back a little. I uploaded episode 10 on Saturday and episode 11 this morning, so I'm hoping that will keep any withdrawals at bay until episode 12 comes out next week! ;) Anyway, it's wonderful that you're enjoying it and thank you so much for writing this review!

It is well written and the narrating is great. Renee's voice is pleasant, easy to listen to and quickly draws you into the story. Characters and storyline are well developed. I listened to all 9 episodes in 3 days and like a drug addict who needs another fix, I can't wait for another fix of Dreaming of Deliverance. Well done, Renee. I hope you get the remaining chapters posted soon. ;) ~Kenn I love this story. It is well written and the narrating is great.

This is a fresh, well woven story, with credible and empathetic characters, set in dual realities which are adroitly constructed. There is an element of fantasy which spices the mix, while avoiding completely the cliches which liter that genre. Renee's voice is strong and confident, emoting sufficient feeling to expertly lead the listener along. The sound and technical components are journeyman, and never detract for the story. I for one am looking forward to the concluding episodes and to more of Renee's excellent writing; strong work.
