Welcome to a new episode of Ye Olde Dragon's Library storytelling podcast!

Season 11 features a new scene every other day from an upcoming release.

This project isn't titled yet -- want to help come up with the title?

The working title is PENELOPE'S STORY, and relates how Penelope, cousin of Helen of Troy, met and married Odysseus, king of Ithaka, and hero of THE ODYSSEY. And more important, explores why she waited 20 years for him to come home from the Trojan War.

This book was previously released as THE DARK ONE, through LTD Books, and then THE DREAMER'S LOOM, from Amber Quill Press. It has been out of print for years, but is being re-titled and revised and re-released because of the popularity of EPIC: THE MUSICAL.

What is EPIC about? What else? THE ODYSSEY put to music, with animation. It's brilliant. Go check it out for yourself -- and then come back every other day for a new scene.

Eventually, this book will be released on Kindle and Kindle Unlimited, and then as a complete audiobook, and a deluxe edition hardcover, through Kickstarter.

YOU can be part of the process. Check The PENELOPE page at YeOldeDragonBooks.com for updates, to comment, and vote Maybe your name will appear in the Acknowledgements page, to thank you for your help!

Welcome to Neighborlee, Ohio.

Neighborlee is a place you need to experience.

The most important thing you need to understand: Neighborlee is magic. Some people say the town is alive. It exists to protect the weird and wonderful (and sometimes a little bit scary) from the cold, practical, material world.

More important, Neighborlee protects the outside world from the weird and wonderful that come to visit … and sometimes come to stay.

Each month of 2025, we focus on 1 book in the Neighborlee series. You'll hear the first chapter of the featured book here, and can purchase it at a discount on YeOldeDragonBooks.com, in print, e, and audio. Plus there will be excerpts throughout the month on MichelleLevigne.blogspot.com, inside information, a chance to ask questions, and pop quizzes to earn points toward free books. And other goodies and fun stuff once we think of them!

Plus, if you've read any of the Neighborlee books and posted a review, email us at 2OldeDragons@gmail.com and give us the link, and you'll earn even more points toward more Neighborlee books.

This month's featured book:

Return of the Living Proof

What do a pregnant, shape-changing, interdimensional visitor, a questionable summer job at an even more questionable new business, a college life sciences project, and returning nemeses have to do with finally finding out what happened to Charlie and Rainbow Zephyr?

That's what Lanie and her growing team of allies are trying to figure out.

Cerb is back, with Loralee, the "girl" of his dreams -- both of them stuck in dog shape while on Earth -- and looking forward to a "blessed event." Instead of suffering cravings, Loralee digs up Lanie's yard, in her sleep, uncovering jewels and bones and trouble.

Then there are strange visions that result from unwise exploration of Black Water Pool and Jinx's pond. Both are off-limits spots in the quarries that have been seriously and strangely affected by past magic. And Senior Prank Night escapades.

When magically altered water seems to open a doorway to view the past, Lanie and her brothers take advantage of a chance to figure out what happened to their parents in Bermuda, going on two years ago. The question is if they're preparing to rescue their parents -- or if they are the cause of the mystery after all.
