At (very) long and (truly) last, Alderpod #32 is live. There were a few reasons that it took so long, and most of them have to do with having a three-year-old, writing other stuff, working as a freelancer, and technical issues. I literally recorded this a total of five times, with tons of takes in between. Either I kept getting interrupted, the program crashed (go go GarageBand), or the microphone was making weird popping noises.
*deep breath*
Anyway! This epilogue takes us back to Hartleigh Castle, where Denna is recovering from the Ardesian assault; the excerpt concerns Cora and the Order of the Asp, and hopefully answers a few questions, while posing a few more. Can’t reveal everything now, can I?
A tremendous thanks to those of you who’ve been patient, and those who have stuck around. I’ve had such fun telling this story and sharing it with you. I’ll keep you updated as to possible other podcasts in the future, as well as current projects, steampunk and otherwise.
Cheers!

Hi Natania, I came across your podcast a week or so ago and have got to episode 32. I really appreciate the world you’ve created. Of particular note are your characters – very believable. Then there’s the: story, music, narration – all fantastic. It’s been so very enjoyable that I’ll be listening to it again (something I rarely do). Many thank yous.

@genevere I am so glad you’ve enjoyed the characters and other elements in The Aldersgate. I admit to spending a great deal of time on the characters, as in my writing process they’re always the first part of the story to come to light. Thank you so much for listening. I am thrilled to know that the little darlings of my imagination entertain others than me. I am working on the follow up to the story, so stay tuned!

I am amazed at your talents. I’ve just finished listening to Alderpod #20 and hearing your beautiful playing and singing, combined with your compelling writing, what a triple threat you are!
I do find the story fantastic so far, and am excited to hear the rest! Thanks for putting this up.
