Charcoal by Maria McKee
Genre: Short story
Written by Maria McKee and narrated by Patrice Gambardella.
These are strange times for Elizabeth. Plagued by a blocking beam in her mind she finds herself increasingly robbed of the power of speech - or else seized by the paroxysm of song. More worryingly, Elizabeth doesn't know what's triggered it. Certainly events took a turn for the bizarre after her encounter with the enchanting woman with moon white hair who spoke of a mystical experience with Johnny Cash's pants. Still, one channel of communication closes, another opens and Elizabeth finds herself compelled to convey her feelings - or something - through the medium of art. Before she knows it everything, her walls and ceiling included, are covered in elaborate charcoal drawings. What is going on in Elizabeth's brain and where will it end?
An intriguing, quirky and touching story that explores the issues of the senses and the often enigmatic power of expression.

Artifice: Art Gallery - Chapter 1/39 by Eric Bickernicks
Genre: Comedy
Written by Eric Bickernicks.
Chapter 1 of 39 - Art Gallery.
Animated Audiobook trailer: https://youtu.be/eiPDRTCGikQ
This is a full 6 hour audio book read by over 40 different voice actors. I'll try to upload a section each week. Gavin was narrated by the author Eric Bickernicks.
Synopsis: Would you like a couch with that painting?
Obscurity is a way of life for Gavin Vonn Getch, a painter who works at a frame shop in a small New England town. His life changes when billionaire Gary Eastman enters his shop and becomes the ultimate patron: a lifetime commission for all his work in exchange for a crap-load of money.
Some of his artist buddies envy him and others think he’s sold out. Curious as to where his paintings are being displayed, he makes a trip to the DLC headquarters, where a shocking discovery forces him to reevaluate his deal with Eastman and his identity as an artist.
Why does an artist create? What alternatives are there to completely selling out? Is there no genius—only marketing? The book is a satirical, and sometimes surreal look at the art world.

More than half a century has passed since Frank Lee Morris and brothers Clarence and John Anglin dug their way out of their cells and escaped from US Penitentiary Alcatraz, disappearing into the waters of San Francisco Bay.
It’s a well-told story, shrouded in mystery, replete with speculation.
Like most people, I’ve wondered whether the trio lived to begin a new life somewhere, or succumbed to the mighty currents of the Bay. But sitting in front of the TV with a beer one Friday evening, something piqued my interest...

A young girl, Mirela, has a regular nightmare. In it she re-lives the events which led to the death of both parents and her time in an orphanage, where she suffered from neglect. There is a recurring theme of bars: those that imprisoned her father, the stripes on her mother's slashed wrist, and the sides of the disgusting cot in which she was placed. These contrast with the shiny safe bed rails she wakes up to since being adopted into a welcoming home. The orphanage staff appear in the dream as shadows in the gloom. Only one of them was kind and caring, and later suffered for it. The story ends as Mirela wakes on her sixth birthday, when her strength and confidence are beginning to grow in her new surroundings.

Genre: Romance

The idea for this story came from a photograph that I was given showing a single jogger crossing an isolated bridge. The task was to write about what you thought had happened to the person, not what you saw but the bigger picture.
My thoughts grew on this theme, they went backwards and forwards through a whole lifetime of emotions, difficulties and solutions, not always practical, not always successful but raw and honest.

It is narrated by the wonderful Frank Di Piazza.

Charcoal by Maria McKee
Genre: Short story
Written by Maria McKee and narrated by Patrice Gambardella.
These are strange times for Elizabeth. Plagued by a blocking beam in her mind she finds herself increasingly robbed of the power of speech - or else seized by the paroxysm of song. More worryingly, Elizabeth doesn't know what's triggered it. Certainly events took a turn for the bizarre after her encounter with the enchanting woman with moon white hair who spoke of a mystical experience with Johnny Cash's pants. Still, one channel of communication closes, another opens and Elizabeth finds herself compelled to convey her feelings - or something - through the medium of art. Before she knows it everything, her walls and ceiling included, are covered in elaborate charcoal drawings. What is going on in Elizabeth's brain and where will it end?
An intriguing, quirky and touching story that explores the issues of the senses and the often enigmatic power of expression.
Artifice: Art Gallery - Chapter 1/39 by Eric Bickernicks
Genre: Comedy
Written by Eric Bickernicks.
Chapter 1 of 39 - Art Gallery.
Animated Audiobook trailer: https://youtu.be/eiPDRTCGikQ
This is a full 6 hour audio book read by over 40 different voice actors. I'll try to upload a section each week. Gavin was narrated by the author Eric Bickernicks.
Synopsis: Would you like a couch with that painting?
Obscurity is a way of life for Gavin Vonn Getch, a painter who works at a frame shop in a small New England town. His life changes when billionaire Gary Eastman enters his shop and becomes the ultimate patron: a lifetime commission for all his work in exchange for a crap-load of money.
Some of his artist buddies envy him and others think he’s sold out. Curious as to where his paintings are being displayed, he makes a trip to the DLC headquarters, where a shocking discovery forces him to reevaluate his deal with Eastman and his identity as an artist.
Why does an artist create? What alternatives are there to completely selling out? Is there no genius—only marketing? The book is a satirical, and sometimes surreal look at the art world.

Genre: Mystery
Written by Paul McGee and narrated by Rebecca Roberts.
More than half a century has passed since Frank Lee Morris and brothers Clarence and John Anglin dug their way out of their cells and escaped from US Penitentiary Alcatraz, disappearing into the waters of San Francisco Bay.
It’s a well-told story, shrouded in mystery, replete with speculation.
Like most people, I’ve wondered whether the trio lived to begin a new life somewhere, or succumbed to the mighty currents of the Bay. But sitting in front of the TV with a beer one Friday evening, something piqued my interest...

These contrast with the shiny safe bed rails she wakes up to since being adopted into a welcoming home. The orphanage staff appear in the dream as shadows in the gloom. Only one of them was kind and caring, and later suffered for it. The story ends as Mirela wakes on her sixth birthday, when her strength and confidence are beginning to grow in her new surroundings.

BreaKing Boundaries by Dee Len
Genre: Romance
Written and narrated by Dee Len.
The idea for this story came from a photograph that I was given showing a single jogger crossing an isolated bridge. The task was to write about what you thought had happened to the person, not what you saw but the bigger picture.
My thoughts grew on this theme, they went backwards and forwards through a whole lifetime of emotions, difficulties and solutions, not always practical, not always successful but raw and honest.

Winter's Promise by Jason Renton
Genre: Poetry
My second poem here at Bibliophone! As you might be able to tell, I am inspired by the earth we live on and the systems of nature which surround us, not forgetting the weather cycle which, like most Brits, I tend to bemoan all too often. 'Winter's Promise' is about a season which comes freighted with the disappointment of an indifferent climate, but which progresses into Spring nevertheless, when all begins again. It is narrated by the wonderful Frank Di Piazza.
