VOvember 30th: “crystal” was the final prompt for this year’s VOvember recordings. I let it take me to H.G. Well’s “The Crystal Egg” which will likely be included in an upcoming volume of selected short stories of his I’m releasing. Enjoy this peek at the opening of the tale. #VOvember #VOvember2021

VOvember 25th: ah, song. The beautiful word song is where the prompt of “fan” led my voice to today. It got there via H. Belloc’s “On Everything.” Here’s a bit of it. And while I’m at it, happy Thanksgiving! #VOvember #VOvember2021

VOvember 24th: by the pricking of my thumbs (and today’s prompt of “watch”) a bit of story this way comes. Don’t be afraid. 90 seconds of the start of a short yarn in “Tales of Wonder” by Lord Dunsany (1916) can’t get that frightening. Probably. #VOvember #VOvember2021

VOvember 23rd: thanks to today’s prompt of “pressure” we’re back to 60s SciFi! It led today’s voice-at-the-mic VOvember time to record this tiny bit of “Big Baby” by Jack Sharkey from the April, 1962 issue of Galaxy Magazine. Put on your sunscreen. #VOvember #VOvember2021

VOvember 20th: today’s prompt = “stuck.” The destination it led my voice to = Denali. Or at least on the way there via “The Ascent of Denali” by Hudson Stuck (1918). Here’s a bit of that journey for you as part of this VOvember journey for me. #VOvember #VOvember2021

VOvember 19th: “roof” was today’s prompt, and it led my voice to Morocco via “The Passing of Morocco” by Frederick Moore (1908). Felt drawn to this one given the time I recently spent working on a tour of Marrakesh for Staycaytours.com (you should check it out — it’s fun, interesting, and free!). Here’s a quick 49 seconds of chapter 2. #VOvember #VOvember2021

VOvember 14th: “moon” is today’s prompt and it led to this bit of a neat story by H.G. Wells (btw, I’m now releasing a fun audiobook series of short stories of his – links to the first volume are available below). I love the guy’s work! #VOvember #VOvember2021
Here are some links to my recent release, Selected Short Stories of H.G. Wells, Volume 1: Beasties Most Foul.
