Most of us like to listen to a good story. Some of my earliest memories are of Dad’s stories about when he was young, and then, Mom’s stories which we put into a couple of Etta Bend books. Storytelling is the oldest form of entertainment. Can’t you just see early day people gathered in round houses or tents or thatch-topped cottages at night as the evening fire burns low, listening to a story?
I well remember (and, my goodness, how long ago) asking Mom to tell me a story when I was a small youngster. Even after I could read, I still liked to hear her tell about The Little Red Hen, Little Red Riding Hood, The Three Billy Goats Gruff.
I’m so happy to see that the Darcy and Flora audible books are doing well. It makes me glad to think about someone driving along the highway, listening to these two sleuths’ adventures, or, maybe listening to them as a bedtime story before going to sleep. Adults like bedtime stories too, you know.
Many people record stories for grandchildren when those grandchildren are too far away to visit. I have a couple of tapes of Mom and Dad talking about different things. These tapes are very dear to me.
Years ago, when my older cousins were still with us, at our yearly family reunions, I’d ask them to tell some stories about Etta Bend and their growing up years. Some of those stories were about unexplained happenings, mysteries, the sort that makes chills run up your spine.
If you enjoy listening to a good mystery, I invite you to try the Darcy and Flora audibles. I especially like Grave Shift, Best Left Buried, and Grave Heritage. The audible version of Ned’s first book, Moonlight Can Be Murder, is coming right along. I’ll be excited to announce to you one day soon that it’s completed and ready for you. Happy listening!
