And suddenly, finally, the podcast is back! A bit re-tooled and with a new name, our Wanderings on Literature and Language continue. 

Don’t miss the warm-up interviews from the Unwoven book launch airing now, but then, January 24, the regular episodes begin!

The Unwoven Audiobook Now Available!

Because of the nature of audiobook distribution, I cannot currently offer the audiobook directly for purchase from Waywords. However, just search for it on any site where you get your audiobooks! If you would like to maximize the Waywords sales percentage, I recommend Lantern Audio, who produced the audio version!
