Fiction
Click the arrow below to listen to the first episode of this free audio book:
Featuring a zombie outbreak and a strange sort of doomsday, but really focusing on how coming through those experiences into utopia and freedom effects different people, Forget What You Can’t Remember is an exploration of the human mind under pressure. It’s about relationships, memory, opportunity, and dealing with their loss - and other kinds of loss. Forget What You Can't Remember is a spin-off novel in the same universe as Lost and Not Found (also available on Podiobooks.com) which doesn’t require you to have read that book to understand it.

Bubble and Squeak I didn't know that this was the second part of "Lost and Not Found" and thought LaNF just ended strange with a lot of loose ends. Teel is a very good writer. I mentioned to my wife how I listened to 5 min about a character eating breakfast and enjoyed it. However the two book have way to many story-lines for my taste that don't seem to fit. Teel goes from a guy writing 3 different stories (that you get involved in and then the guy changes his mind to so you don't get completion) to Zombies and now there in a floating city. All the while new character are introduced to the story. For me I get connected to a character and if simply ends with no reason I feel like a friendship ended. However, that is not to say I not enjoying it. It's like skydiving, something you do once just to say you did it but will not do it again. Of Teel's work "Untrue Tales" is his best work to date. In fact I could see this as new New and improved replacement for Harry Potter. Thank you Teel Keep smilingBy: Jennifer
nice to have a chapter that is not just an ongoing conversation. Finally some action. That seems to have been very light of late. I enjoy the story more when the plot is advanced with some actions and not just conversation that doesn't seem to be going anywhere between numerous characters.
