The process of turning THE VISITOR into a full audio drama is underway. And Rob has sent me a story to publish. Since he's not a member of the forum (yet) it will appear posted by me, but it will be clearly credited TO HIM.

I would love that.

Let's revive the rich legacy of NarniaFansCast by using audio programmes on YouTube with some NEW audio specials. I have one coming out relatively soon, a dramatization of "The Visitor," and the voices will be my wife "LadyBadger" and I. If this fares well, we might start opening the floor to...

REAL LANGUAGES / FAKE LANGUAGES - If you use a fake language, strive for consistency. Create a vocabulary and stick with it, the same with grammatical order. Like for instance, "Magroth am furthin ra!" for "Send them to the jail" and then later "Am magroth furthin ket!" for "Bring them from the...

I have ordered it. When Lady Badger and I have a chance to audition them, I'll weigh in.

Did you like the story?

IMPORTANT I am one of the few published (not self-published) authors on TDL. Roger (Prince of the West) is another. If you read our stories, it helps if you would react, even if only a thumbs up, to let us know you liked it. Or to tell us why you liked it. Or why you didn't. Or why you could...

AN AFTERWORD Those of you who know me well enough understand that I am both Maureen and David. My own little David -- Benjamin -- must have some sweet Maureen to rock him to sleep and kiss away his tears. He simply must or it wouldn't be heaven. Make him apple cake and sew a heart inside his...

11 - THE CHOICE The sun was settling down for the night, and stars began to prick the purple heavens, David approached the front door of Maureen’s home. Even before his paw touched the latchstring, he could smell the alluring summons of simmer and sing stew. The door swung open. “Maureen, I’m...

10 - MATTERS OF THE HEART One afternoon a week later, David saw Dewdrop working on a vest with her needle and thread. “Mending garments?” “No,” the doe answered. “I’m practicing embroidery. See, I’m sewing a heart. I have to use blind stitches, so it doesn’t go all the way through.” “Uh...

9 - COUNTING UP Time passed, and so did David’s awkwardness. He proved a quick study at the anvil, and he helped Mr. Badger with his work, even meeting his new visitor, Cody. He was busy arranging the sports team, yet he never slacked at his chores. He was determined to pack an entire lifetime...

8 - THE REALIZATION David wondered where he should take his new bike first. His parents had fooled him to the last minute thinking he would be getting clothes for his birthday, and he still had to remind himself it was really his new ride. This didn’t have a coaster brake, it had real...

7 - BEYOND HIS YEARS The next day, David chatted so much at the breakfast table that the other younglings hardly got a word in. “Just think, we’re going to have a race. Maybe we’ll have a prize for first place.” “Somebody’s made a new friend,” Maureen said. “I’m glad you’re making friends...

6 - JOEY The world outside was a kaleidoscope of sights and smells. David wanted to experience them all from his new perspective. He closed his eyes and took in a deep breath. “Someone’s baking bread. It rained last night. I wonder what those flowers are?” With his eyes still tightly shut, he...

5 - COURAGE Maureen had a certain magic about her that left everything she did, everyone she met, and everywhere she went a little better. David had fallen headlong under her potent spell. In a world with so many new things, so much uncertainty, she was familiar, a touchstone, someone he could...

3 - BROTHER MINE One thing David never had was a brother. Now he had Tipper who bore a strong resemblance to him—besides the fact they were both rabbits—and he was about the same height. He was fascinated by his new brother and watched everything he did. This did not go unnoticed. “Why are you...

2 - FORGING AHEAD It was chilly autumn in Terra Haute, but Farthingdale basked in the richness of eternal spring. As David ambled down the avenue that passed for Main Street, he met some of the villagers Maureen told him about. There were beavers and otters and even a stately family of deer who...

I have posted "THE VISITOR" here in The Professor's Writing Club. I would love to share this with you, for writing it was very meaningful for me.

1 - THE AWAKENING The simple cottage was silent and still as Maureen the rabbit and her two younglings held vigil by an empty bed. “Children, get ready,” Maureen said with barely suppressed excitement. “The miracle should happen any moment now.” The young rabbits believed in miracles the way...

When Chuck Norris was born, he drove his mother home from the hospital. When Chuck Norris went off to college, he told his father, "Well Pop, now you'll have to be the man of the family."
