This podcast is not dead!
It's just sleeping...
Thanks to everyone who has left a concerned comment or sent me an email. My intention was to podcast a short message this weekend to say this, but now I'm not sure that I will have a chance. My wife has gotten very sick again, so I'm taking care of her and our (nearly) seven month old baby. So in brief here are a few updates of what has been going on with the Emery family:

Our gorgeous baby Zoe Angeline Emery was born on May 23 at 12:18 am!

We have moved into a new house.

The whole family got sick, and I worried about the baby (even though she got better faster than her parents).

I have taken a new assignment at work with more responsibility.

The biggest change has been adapting to having a baby in the house. I love it, but it takes a lot of time. I haven't quite figured out the best way to get writing done. The truth is that I have felt a certain sense of shame about not having new fiction written and a new episode out, so I have been avoiding even checking my Brief Glimpses email. I kept telling myself that I was waiting to reply to my friend's questions until I finished a new episode. But that just hasn't worked out yet. I apologize to everyone for not updating you all sooner.

So what's next?
Shifters will be back! I have outlines for the rest of the story and a small amount of the next episode written. This podcast will continue! I hope to put out a small episode soon with a little bite-sized fiction scene.

Thanks to everyone for their concern! Have a wonderful holiday season! I will leave you with a little picture I like to call Zoe Wan Kenobi...



Happy Holidays Everyone!

Just to let everyone know, we are out of town because of a death in the family. Shifters Part 5 is written. As soon as we get back home, I will finish the vocal recording and mixing. Thanks in advance for your kind thoughts.

Thanks to all of you that sent feedback after the last show. I did get the technical issues solved. However, I had to stop in the middle of recording last night because of a family health issue that came via a phone call from a relative. I know you all understand. Hopefully, I will get a chance to record Part II of Legacies in the next day or two. Thanks for your patience...

I got so caught up in the technical issues that I had trying to render, upload, and post this episode that I forgot to tell you a couple of really important things.

First: there are swear words in the original Fiction (Legacies Part I). Sorry for the late warning.

Second: My lovely wife Keely Emery is reading for one of the female characters in this story.

Hi everybody. Sorry that there was no new podcast this past weekend. We spent the last four days in the hospital with a family member. Hopefully, I will have both a regular show and a fiction show out this coming weekend.

Thanks for your patience!

In the mean time, you can check out an essay I wrote on Neil Gorman's Comicology Presents Podcast.

Okay, so the last show was #3 even though I said episode #4 at the beginning of the show.

Jeez, I just can't seem to get those little details right yet...Arh!!!
