I’ve just uploaded a podcast version of part one of Bequeathed. I’m still trying to get better at reading, but accents are not my strong point. Let me know what you think.

You know, I really like this. It took me this long to give it a listen. But, since I always read a story with a narrator’s voice in my head, usually perforce mine, I really like the idea of the writer as narrator. I imagine the writer reads with the inflections s/he heard in their own head when they were writing the it. It definitely increases my appreciation, and I pretend it gives me a deeper understanding, of the story.
It doesn’t hurt to have a good speaking voice, either, which you do.

Ooh, think your comment box needs sorting out. It’s asking for all the wrong things in the wrong places!
I popped in to say this is wonderful, you have a beautiful voice. I wasn’t able to listen to all of it, but I will come back – and that’s a threat!
So, where’s my cuppa then?
You can always just download the file and listen to it whenever from the Podbean page.
Angelika,
Ack! I know that the comment box is really, really confusing. It was the one that came with the template, and I’m going to see if I can fix it RIGHT NOW! Huggles and thanks for persevering.
Can’t wait til the next part. I wonder where its all going.
Love all your writing.
i love this story, and many of your others. Your are a gem. Healthily sensual, fine writer and too much time on your hands… it is the worlds good fortune that you were born in the time of the internet !
God, I wish I felt like I had too much time on my hands. I always feel like I have far too little to do all the things I want to do! I love your compliment of me being ‘healthily sensual’ but I’m afraid it would be terribly dishonest to accept it. There is nothing healthy about me. I think you are, perhaps, mistaking me for one of my characters? *smirk*
I read this story just before Christmas and enjoyed it very much. By coincidence, I had borrowed The Haunting of Hill House by Shirley Jackson and The Woman In Black by Susan Hill from my local library by special order, as I like to read ghost stories around this time of the year, and I thought that your story compared very well – the confident relaxed narration, the almost tangible atmosphere of the old house, the plausible backstory and the eventual revelation of the deceased woman in a new light. Fine story. You do indeed, as another lady has said, have a lovely voice and, though “lovely†is not absolutely necessary, from the work I did for radio, I can tell a good reader when I hear one. But your voice IS lovely.
Regards,
Cate
