I’ve tried listening to this story a bunch of times already and I still haven’t heard any of it. I’m sure it’s wonderful just like all your stories though. I’ll hear it all one day. Thank you for all your works. Your voice helps me fall asleep on most nights…. Definitely my favorite teacher on insight.

I have to listen to it again it again because I’ve never made it all the way through! It’s been five nights now. I just get to where she has a connection with the dragon and they’re talking and then I drift off to sleep. Your voice is melodious and the story is lovely. Thank you. I listen to a lot of sleep and sorcery and now I’ve added you to my list of bedtime stories.

I’m sure it’s lovely and another wonderful story from you. However, like normal I only heard the first couple of minutes so I will have to listen to it a bunch of times just like all your others. Thank you again for sharing your stories and continuing to produce new ones!

A delightful blend of Fantasy in reality it sent me off to sleep with a smile on my face as always. I’ll be sad when I have listened to all of them. As always, I never make it to the end so I’ll return to the library tonight. And it usually comes with a touch of synchronicity, as I was in a library this afternoon for the first time in a while looking for fiction to read at night. Of course the series is only partially fiction and that’s why I appreciate it so much.
