Welcome to a new episode of Ye Olde Dragon's Library storytelling podcast!
Season 11 features three new scenes every week from a new release.
PENELOPE'S STORY 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? 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.
This book is now available in Kindle and Kindle Unlimited and Amazon KDP paperback.
The complete audiobook will soon be available in wide distribution, wherever you prefer to buy your audiobooks, and eventually appear as a deluxe edition hardcover in 2026.
