Summary
A quiet retreat in the Pacific Northwest becomes the birthplace of Velvet Ember’s second album — and something more difficult to name. As music, fiction, and lived emotion begin to blur, Gail Dekarios and Astarion find themselves circling a truth they aren’t ready to announce, only to recognize.
A story about restraint, creative intimacy, signals sent into the dark, and the kinds of love that don’t need to be explained to be real.

Summary
Within the Hot Dog Hills Kingdom, a prince is born to the king and queen, and all of the kingdom is invited…except for Miser Pete, who curses the prince with death by 21 years old. Thankfully, King Donald, known better as Caballero Donald, softens the curse to a deep sleep that can be broken by true love’s kiss, along with him and the other two Caballeros deciding to raise the prince until his 21st birthday, unaware that fate has a different plan for the prince.
At the same time, a narrator-in-training named Abby Axolotl is stuck narrating this story on her own when the more experienced narrator isn’t able to after he loses his voice. Not only is this her first ever story experience, but she also dislikes the fact that it’s a musical. Fate could help her change her view on songs, but only time will tell.
Whatever happens to the prince and Abby, one thing is certain; when you wish upon a star, your dreams come true…especially in a world like this one.

Summary
“Me? In love with farmer Misty? That’s insane!” Sebastian draws in more smoke from his cigarette, before shakily exhaling. Sam has been pestering him for months to just tell him who he likes. How juvenile, how invasive of his private thoughts. Just then, Misty comes by, carrying her pickaxe and making her way back to the mines. She’s wearing nothing special, just a boring gray shirt and black pants. Yet, she is still the most beautiful woman he’s ever laid eyes on. As she passes by, she waves to them, a smile beaming and lighting up her eyes.
“She always seems much more friendlier when you’re around Seb.” Sam whispers and elbows him gently at his side. “Yeah, yeah. Mere coincidence. For all we know she could be head over heels for you.” Sebastian retorts sharply, dropping his cigarette and extinguishing it with his shoe. For a moment, it seems that Sam has dropped his line of questioning to move on to songs for their upcoming first gig. But Sebastian can’t hear a thing. Right now, watching Misty go on with her day has become far more important than whatever Sam is going on about. -

Summary
“Undeniable/Certifiable” is the new thriller fiction podcast set to take the internet by storm. Recorded with half its episodes in audio-only format and the other half in video, Morningstar Media Agency’s top content creators Alastor Moreau (co-host of the Radio Rebel podcast) and Vincent Whittman (creator of VOXTechReviews on YouTube) star as Thomas and William, serial killers who keep tabs on the other’s actions, never stepping onto the other’s turf.
Unfortunately for the two professionals, their first ever experience of voice acting, while also working with a new person, seems to be drawing them in deep, and as they portray Thomas and William’s growing obsessions with each other, will Alastor and Vincent be able to fight off the magnetic pull they each feel towards their co-star?
