New Story "Coming Home"

I’ve written a new story! But it isn’t a book… Here’s the scoop:

Before Covid hit, I had the pleasure of meeting the uber-talented songwriter Will Robinson, who has written number one hits for stars like Alabama, Reba McEntire, and John Michael Montgomery, to name a few. Being a music lover, when he mentioned he had a project he’d like to chat about, I was incredibly curious. With the pandemic, getting together was difficult, but the minute we could safely meet for coffee, I got a glimpse into this new endeavor, and I couldn’t be more thrilled to have a small part in it.

 After a long chat, I got to take a peek into the offices of Old Bank Media Group, the hub of the brand-new concept PodPlays, a free storytelling app that combines great stories and epic songs. The stories fit within an hour and each one includes multiple character voices, sound effects, and original music. I got to hear samples that were absolutely wonderful, and was asked if I would write a script-style PodPlay to be produced by them. Thrilled with the invitation, I got to work, and the result was “Coming Home,” a story about the uncertainty of where life can take us, and the comfort that can be found in those who know us best.

“Coming Home” will be released on the PodPlays app on Apple Podcasts in the coming months. So far, I’ve been able to listen to the ending song, one of four songs that will be included in my PodPlay. The songs for “Coming Home” were written and produced by Will Robinson and another talented songwriter Cory Batten (who’s written number one songs for folks like Blake Shelton and Chris Young), along with other hit songwriters. 

I’m absolutely giddy to share this news, and I’ll keep you posted on all the happenings! In the meantime, run over to Apple Podcasts and search for PodPlays or click the button below to hear the stories that are up now. You won’t be disappointed!
