The Dreamer’s Thread
Please welcome Starla Huchton to the site. Today she’s releasing lots of episodes to start her fantasy novel, The Dreamer’s Thread:
Everyone Dreams.
But what would you do if you suddenly found out that you were one of the few who creates dreams for the whole world? Would you use your power to harness the light and weave it into beautiful tapestries of magic and wonder, or would you fall prey to the seductive siren song of darkness and nightmares?
For tattoo artist Aura Mayville, this becomes a reality as she is ripped from her life of art and music and thrust into a realm where good and evil struggle for control over the minds and hearts of men.
With a sarcastic sorcerer, a mercenary, and her Spirit Guide as her only companions, Aura must journey through the dream realm to discover both her power and where her heart truly lies. In a place where anything is possible, can she find the strength to hold on to herself, or will she be lost to the shadows forever?
Starla has released 14 episodes to start and will be adding more rather quickly. So you can get the default feed, but there may be times when more than one episode is posted in a day, causing trouble for your podcatcher. So be safe and get a custom feed that sends episodes down to you one at a time on a schedule you get to pick!

April? Emma? Charlie? Vestrum Tobias? This tale about a Dreamer and its wonderful voice actors are so, so reminiscent of The Longest Journey and yet it is altogether something different with its vampires, elves and talking mice. Similarities and differences aside, it is exceptionally enjoyable thus far (Ep. 3) and very well produced. I look forward to seeing where the story goes.

Cheating a little bit here as I just put this review up on Itunes as well…….Starla’s story may not be for all as the story does take us into her heroin’s initial setup to a very different world from the one she is introduced in. However, when Aura is introduced into the dream realm she realizes she is there for a purpose. The introduction to those who will assist Aura in her journey to not repeat past errors in this world is really well done. The voice talent used in the Dreamer’s Thread is top notch and each seems to fit the characters they are portraying very well. There is a great combination of bits of humor in the story that helps break up a moment of severity. Starla’s own reading of the story shows that she cares deeply for the characters she has written about and is bring to us through her podiobook. Although at the time I write this review the story is not complete I for one am here for the long haul and may find myself wishing for more when the story is complete.

This was a beautiful story of a very imaginative person. The depth behind the characters and world was detailed. The large cast of familiar voice actors has contributed to the quality of this story. As the story progressed, I found myself intrigued by events that I had not expected, but added so much more depth to the story. The choice of music (Waking Dream by Natalie Walker) was a perfect touch to compliment the story. I am longing for a new dreamer to wakeup and find themselves to be in the dreamers thread. This is one of those novels that I will never forget, and cherish the thought of an great adventure to which she has taken me on.
I look forward to any additional novels that Starla Huchton publishes. I will certainly recommend this novel to others.
