Welcome to a new episode of Ye Olde Dragon's Library storytelling podcast!
Season 11 features a new scene every other day from an upcoming release.
This project isn't titled yet -- want to help come up with the title?
The working title is PENELOPE'S STORY, and relates how Penelope, cousin of Helen of Troy, met and married Odysseus, king of Ithaka, and hero of THE ODYSSEY. And more important, explores why she waited 20 years for him to come home from the Trojan War.
This book was previously released as THE DARK ONE, through LTD Books, and then THE DREAMER'S LOOM, from Amber Quill Press. It has been out of print for years, but is being re-titled and revised and re-released because of the popularity of EPIC: THE MUSICAL.
What is EPIC about? What else? THE ODYSSEY put to music, with animation. It's brilliant. Go check it out for yourself -- and then come back every other day for a new scene.
Eventually, this book will be released on Kindle and Kindle Unlimited, and then as a complete audiobook, and a deluxe edition hardcover, through Kickstarter.
