BONUS: Erotica a la Carte #17 – “Tears Such As Angels Weep”

It was my pleasure to be this month’s guest chef for Pip Ballantine’s Erotica a la Carte.

A lonely hunter, carrying more than his fair share of strange secrets, finds more than he bargained for in the wilderness.

This story contains explicit sexual content. It is not for children or young teens. Listener discretion is advised.

Cast:

Alastur: Chris Lester
Alice: Kimi Alexandre

BONUS – Triple Threat Interviews on ISBW

Mur Lafferty interviewed all three of the Triple Threat authors — me, J. Daniel Sawyer and Philippa Ballantine — for this extra-large episode of I Should Be Writing. I hope you enjoy listening to these interviews as much as we enjoyed recording them!
