New audio drama? New audio drama!

I have a new show @of-the-sword and you can listen to it all right now by donating $7+ to The National Center for Transgender Equality!

Of The Sword is a daily sword-based, micro-fiction anthology running this month! The episodes each feature a different, unique sword and the story surrounding it. Of The Sword features 21 stories written for the show and 9 stories from other productions. It was a fully volunteer project, and all ad revenue is donated to The National Center for Transgender Equality. You can also buy the entire show for $7 on Ko-Fi (proceeds donated to the same place)! Transcripts are linked in the show notes and also found here.

Happy audio fiction Sunday! Here are my thoughts about some of the podcasts I've been listening to this week, for my weekly Sunday blog post!

Swordtember is a podcast this year*

It's called Of The Sword. There'll be an episode every day in September – each one is a short story with a unique sword through its heart. It's produced by Tal Minear (of Someone Dies In This Elevator) and Ezra J. Wayne. And I wrote one of the stories, Driving The Point Home; it'll be the episode released on 19 September!

If you can't wait til then, you can get all Of The Sword episodes early and ad-free by donating to Tal's Ko-fi. All cash raised goes to The National Center for Transgender Equality:

Of the Sword isn't popping up in searches in all the podcast apps just yet (too fresh!), but you should still be able to subscribe by copying and pasting the feed address into the search bar: https://feeds.megaphone.fm/ofthesword

The September issue of the Foggy Outline newsletter is out! Our serial continues with part 3, which sheds a little more light on what Callum's doing at this party, and why no one there has been paying him any attention (even as he rifles their purses and snoops through their wardrobes).
