Return to the Borders of Sleep

Dear Listeners,

Here's wishing you a belated "Happy New Year!"

I have to thank many of you for leaving lovely comments on the podcast page (here) and some of you for even getting in touch by email to let me know that you have been enjoying the stories. I have had a number of  queries about whether the podcast was going to continue in the future and I wish to answer emphatically in the affirmative.

YES!

Stories from the Borders of Sleep has been one of the most enjoyable creative projects of the last few years for me. I set out with the intention of continuing my output of stories as a creative baseline for the foreseeable future. Along the way, I have been really encouraged by listener feedback and delighted to hear that people all over the world have been downloading the stories and even falling asleep to them.

Even though I have not uploaded any new material in recent months, there continues to be a steady traffic of between 50 and 100 downloads a day. The production of new material has tailed off since I have had a tough winter where I have found it hard to write on top of all the other things going on. However, we have plans for the Spring.

Borders of Sleep will relaunch at the back end of March / beginning of April this year so please sit tight, listen again to your favourites in the meantime and send me more encouraging feedback while I prepare a batch of new stories for your listening pleasure in 2013.

Thank you for listening and sweet dreams  ...

Seymour

    1. Hi, Natasha,

      Thank you so much for commenting and I'm sorry it has taken me so long to get round to composing new episodes. We are , nevertheless, back in business at last :-)

      Thank you for listening and may your dreams be sweet.

  3. Hey Seymour, I have been a new convert to your pod-cast over the last few months and am so disappointed to be getting to the end of the list.It has taken me a bit of extra time because I do have favourites that I go back to. I would love for you to continue, your skills are magical!

    1. Hi, Redbravo,

      Thank you so much for listening and for dropping by to leave a message. I really appreciate the encouragement to keep going. In spite of making many promises to produce new material soon, I know I've still not done it. However, I do have some time off later this month and plan to use lots of it to produce new stories.

      Your appreciative comments mean a lot to me, thank you very much.

      Sweet dreams,

      Seymour

  4. Seymour, Thank you so much for your lovely stories. My favorite so far is Swee Swee and the Cobler. Although it is very hard to pick a favorite. I love the slightly sarcastic morale in some of your stories. I think you and I probably have a similar sense of humor. Thank you for you gift to the world. Tricka
