Page 81: Casts A Demon Shadow by Derek J. Goodman

Posted in Action, Adventure, Derek J. Goodman, Drama, Novelette, Western on December 17, 2009 by dunesteef

The lads are excited to present the first novelette on the Dunesteef. In the Old West town of Ogre Ridge, heavy-drinking, broken-hearted Cassie Grant finds herself in the middle of two powerful feuding families. Magical, necromancer families. Cassie won’t last for very long, unless she has help. Supernatural help.

Afterward, Big and Rish talk a little bit about story length and Westerns, and a lot about, well, an array of rambling topics. An embarrassing array.

Special thanks to Julie Hoverson for lending her voice to the story.

Jake is sick, wretchedly sick. He is overcome with vomiting spells, his joints feel like they’re filled with gravel, and he can’t even summon the strength to drive home from work. He certainly must have been poisoned. But who would do such a thing? Does he have an enemy?

Don’t answer the question, dude, it’s just a teaser to get you interested in listening to the story.

Also, Big and Rish talk about…anagrams…or is it acronyms?…er maybe that’s palindromes?…well, they talk about something. What could it be? The only surefire way to find out is to listen. Have fun.

Peter Wilson just died and got restored. It’s nice to not have to stay dead, but the problem is, it’s been 58 years since he died. Everyone he’s ever know is dead, or totally changed. And there’s worse…no one ever told him that restoration was such a bitch. bloopers
