    Welcome back to another episode of Crann na beatha Stories and Poetry

    I am Terrance Ó Domhnaill, your village scéalaí, returning again this week after my holiday with more stories and poems from authors around the world.

    This week, I have three stories and two poems

    I continue with The Grave Diggers of Orpheus chapter 10, another short scary story from the same author, an scary Irish story from a Medium writer, and two poems. I will be reading one of my own scary poems this week as this is the last show before Samhain and finish up with a nice thought provoking, meditative poem from Bulgaria.

    Some notes about future changes to this show. I had talked before about making some changes regarding this show starting in November and I decided to stretch things out a bit. I will continue the current schedule and title until next July but I will be uploading the shows under The Village Oak Tree heading on rss.com starting in November. The same for my Substack page. By next July, everything will be under that heading and Crann na beatha Stories and Poetry as a separate show will cease. I figured it would be better for everyone if I changed things up slowly rather than doing anything abrupt.

    So gather round once more and let me read to you under the shade of the crann na beatha, the tree of life.

  • Going on holiday this week
    Oct 17 2024

    I recorded this little notice for everyone this week to let you know that I wasn't able to set aside time to record any stories and poems. I am going on holiday today and I had such a busy schedule during this last week that I couldn't break away and record anything earlier in the week.

    I will be back at my regular time next Friday with some stories and a poem or two. Thank you for your support.

    Welcome back to another episode of Crann na beatha Short Stories and Poetry

    I am Terrance Ó Domhnaill, your village scéalaí, returning again this week with more stories and poems from authors around the world.

    This week, I have three science fiction stories and a poem about the children of Palestine

    I continue with the two serialized space faring stories this week, a scary science fiction story and the poem I just mentioned. This episode may be a bit shorter than usual as I had a time trying to find enough decent stories to fill the half hour. Next week, I will start bringing seasonal stories and poetry as I can find them as we get closer to Samhain.

    So gather round once more and let me read to you under the shade of the crann na beatha, the tree of life.
