Dancing With Ghosts via Flash Prompt

Description:

#Audio. Three stories by The Bathtub Mermaid: Take Back the Light, Waltzing in the Woods, and Daedalus, Diminished.

Excerpt:

And everyone knows that you shouldn’t wade while wearing velvet. It soaks up the water and drags you down to the bottom of the sea.

The cold, dark Atlantic is unforgiving that way.

Description:

In which the Bathtub Mermaid kicks off her participation in the Dog Days of Podcasting Challenge  by sharing a short story she wrote.

Excerpt:

You all know the story, I’m sure. Mild-mannered school-teacher Ichabod Crane comes to Tarrytown to lead the charge for education, falls in love with Katrina, and has a series of run-ins with a Hessian on horseback, a soldier name of Brom Bones who lost his head – quite literally – by a single, spectacular, sword-stroke. Goes around now with some squash or gourd tucked under one arm.

Show Notes

A Conversation with Clay

Clay Robeson: bon vivante, sassmaster, and purveyor of infinite awesome is also a creative catalyst. We talk about many things, including terminal ennui, the best meal he’s ever had, and goats on the shore of San Francisco Bay.

(This interview is rambly and unedited. Probably contains adult language. You’ve been warned.)
