Aroha, Sally and the soldiers locate both the bot and the forest folk. Ella is wrapped in community while Alice Thorn finds something unusual at the bottom of her garden.
Ella goes on a wild goose-chase. Bakari hears some terrible news and is forced to make contact in the Digital Realm. And Helen Carew finds something surprising her perennial border.
This year has not started how it was meant to. My dear friend, collaborator and colleague has found himself with the prospect of raising his child without her mother.
I know Tee wanted to keep this a private matter, but word hit twitter within hours and now the genie cannot get back in the bottle.
So here it is. The sharp end of life. The bit no one expects or wants.
I know that the wheels grind slowly on this and Tee and his young child are looking at significant bills after the death of his wife Natalie. So I have started this ChipIn account. Money will be going to Tee Morris’ paypal to first of all pay off these bills which loom and then into an account for his little girl.
I have gone on and on about community again and again. Tee has given selflessly to my podcasts and many, many others. He is the originator of podcast audio fiction. The first. A founder of Podiobooks.com and a writer of many books on social media.
Tee doesn’t know I am doing this, but cast on distant shores this is the least I can do. I hope you can spare a few dollars for someone who has bought joy to so many. If you are enjoying his turn as Ronan then please consider donating. Every little bit helps.
In New Zealand, an invasion brings a terrible choice for the people of the southern land. Ronan meets with his contact in Little Penherem- Bakari. And later the Liner meets with his own even more mysterious contact.
Including the voice talents of Tee Morris, Roger Ballantine, Heather Welliver and Martyn Darkly

In the near future the Fey still survive in our world, eking out their Art and clinging to the hope their world will return. A dark stranger faces a memory of his past, while a lost and lonely writer begins to dream. In the English village of Little Penherem nothing is quiet as innocuous as it seems.
