    Mother Sea, Father Sky ep.717

    How far would you go to be forgiven?

    John E. DeLaughter is a retired planetologist living on a sailboat with Little Sheila the cat. His work has taken him to all seven continents where he has always met the nicest people.

    This story was directly inspired by his trips in the Gulf of Mexico where he failed to meet any ghosts, much to Little Sheila's disappointment.

    ---- About Tall Tale TV ----

    Hi there! My name is Chris Herron and I'm an audiobook narrator. In 2015, I suffered from poor Type 1 diabetes control which lead me to become legally blind for almost a year. The doctors didn't give me much hope, predicting an 80% chance that I would never see again. But I refused to give up and changed my lifestyle drastically. Through sheer willpower (and an amazing eye surgeon) I beat the odds and regained my vision.

    During that difficult time, I couldn't read or write, which was devastating as they had always been a source of comfort for me since childhood. However, my wife took me to the local library where she read out the titles of audiobooks to me. I selected some of my favorite books, such as the Disc World series, Name of the Wind, Harry Potter, and more, and the audiobooks brought these stories to life in a way I had never experienced before. They helped me through the darkest period of my life and I fell in love with audiobooks.

    Once I regained my vision, I decided to pursue a career as an audiobook narrator instead of a writer. That's why I created Tall Tale TV, to support aspiring authors in the writing communities that I had grown to love before my ordeal. My goal was to help them promote their work by providing a promotional audio short story that showcases their writing skills to readers. They say the strongest form of advertising is word of mouth, so I offer a platform for readers to share these videos and help spread the word about these talented writers.

    Please consider sharing these stories with your friends and family to support these amazing authors. Thank you!

    The Bone and the Bear ep.714

    Joseph Carrabis is boring and dull. He hopes his stories and novels aren't. So far, so good. At least his readers say so.

  • "The Neglectful Watchmaker" - Funny Supernatural Short Story by E. Kimball
    Jun 7 2024
    The Neglectful Watchmaker ep.713

    E. Kimball still has nothing to promote, except his other story published on Tall Tale TV which was wonderfully brought to life. He likes telling stories that make people laugh at the shared pain of the human experience. Just because we don't get God's joke, doesn't mean it isn't funny.
