‘Ribbon Dancer’ – Chapter 2

In today’s chapter, Carl returns to The Ribbon, deciding to work rather than go home and vent his feelings over the loss of Aminia. However, an unruly patron makes him wonder if returning to work was such a good idea.

This is a fan fiction based on Chris Lester’s Metamor City universe.

‘Ribbon Dancer’ Chapter 1

Hello and welcome back!

Today I have some brand-spanking new fiction for your thirsty ears. I’m presenting – for the first time – ‘Ribbon Dancer,’ the sequel to my Metamor City fan fiction project ‘Rebirth.’

The story picks up about 2 years after ‘Rebirth.’ Carl is adjusting to his life as a theriomorph, has a ‘night job’ with more of his kind, and life is doing fairly well for him. However, one small event sends him down a rabbit hole that will test him sorely…and maybe give him something he’s been wanting for a long time.

Rebirth – Part 1

Hello again.

Now that ‘Outcast’ is done for now and ‘A New Beginning’ is being worked on, I wanted to take a bit of a break away from Dalan’s world and dive into the mystical, magical world of Chris Lester’s Metamor City.

This story, ‘Rebirth,’ was originally read by Chris on his podcast, but like ‘Outcast’ I’ve gone over it again, tightened up a few points, and I think it’s a better version of what it once was.

So, over the next two episodes, allow me to take you on a trip to Metamor City, and the beginnings of Carl McAllister’s journey to a new life.

The Kick In the Cast – Episode 27

Welcome back!

The end is in sight, folks. Just one more chapter after this and the re-mastered version of ‘Outcast’ will be fully posted both here and on The Kick in the Cast site. For today, I have chapter 26 for you ready to go.

It’s been a long road to get here, and while I am looking ahead to new challenges and stories, this one will be going back into the lab before I’m ready to submit it for publishing. If you’ve followed along this far, you know that the audio quality has been all over the place as I’m trying to find the ‘sweet spot’ for the kind of sound I want. I think I’ve finally found it, and now will be re-recording ‘Outcast’ using this single setup to provide a consistent quality audio recording.

And on top of that, I’ll be pushing forward with the next book in the series, ‘A New Beginning,’ so yeah, I’m gonna be a busy boy for the next little while.

IN THIS EPISODE:

Dalan accepts the fact that his life will be the price to end the growing threat against his family, but in a moment of reprieve, he lashes out and his true feelings boil to the surface…with tragic results.
