Hi, friends! No new story today... I'll be back with a new story next week. I'm taking this week off because I have a new novel coming out at the end of August and am particularly busy at the moment.

My new novel, Elders and Aliens, will be the third and final book in The Psychic Traveler Society series. You can learn more about this series, and all of my novels, at my website: SusanQuilty.com.

Until next week's new story, you can listen to past episodes of Freely Written in any order. Thank you!

Hi friends! I’m Susan Quilty and this is my short-story podcast, Freely Written. Normally, I’d be sharing a new story with you today. Instead, I am taking a week off and will restart our every-other-week story schedule next Tuesday. I’m taking this break because I have a new novel coming out at the end of August, and that’s keeping me particularly busy!

My new novel is the third and final book in The Psychic Traveler Society series. This series follows teenager Amanda Jones as she discovers an ability that lets her travel to new worlds through a house in her daydreams. You can learn more about this series, and all of my novels, on my website: SusanQuilty.com. There’s a link in the show notes.

Thank you for listening to Freely Written. There will be a new story next week. In the meantime, you can listen to past stories in any order. Or, as always, you can try a little free writing of your own. Let go of any planning and see where your imagination takes you.
