My short story "Long Road Home," written especially for Tucson's NPR radio station, KUAZ, is now online for people everywhere to hear. As I reported a few days ago, last Friday I went to the KUAZ studio on the University of Arizona campus and, with the help of two producers and a tech, recorded the short story. They added music and sound effects. The story has a holiday theme, though it's no Christmas feel-good story. It's about love, loss, and longing, all of which can be intensified by the holiday season.
You can listen to it, or download the MP3, here: http://radio.azpm.org/azspotlight/spotlight/2011/12/22/174-long-road-home/.
That was stinkin' awesome, and I have to admit, I'm more than a little jealous at how cool that was. But I know you deserve it. Congratulations. Definitely something to aspire to (but Jesus, not with all the dangling grammar I'm using in this comment box :)
Anyway, as I was just saying to another writer I think you might know, Jimmy Garcia, it's great to actually hear your voice (in his case, I saw a vlog he did). Adds a little more reality to an otherwise electronic friendship.
And the story was great. A nice mix of genre and message.
Happy New Year.
