Honestly, I should create several podcasts, since the only constant in my audio creations is me. But, that’s not how it works on Substack, which hosts my work. I have tried to categorize it better; however, the system has one Podcast and everything goes through that feed. So, I’m releasing everything as Tell Me A Mystery Podcast and keep a list on this page, so listeners have the ability to find what they want.

My apologies if this causes any confusion!

Index for Sound-Bite Theatre:

Lyric: a Mother of a Faery Tale:

  • Lyric #1 - Something’s Up - We meet Ashley Scott, a college student on summer break and she’s having a weird day.

  • Lyric #2 - The Cat - Ashley gets a teaching assistant summer job, but crosses path with a cat that turns her world upside down.

  • Lyric #3 - Cat Strikes Again - The strange cat “speaks” to Ashley again, with some disturbing images. The form of communication almost makes her faint, which interrupts class.

  • Lyric #4 - Crispin - The cat leads Ashley into a rendezvous with someone her mother forbid her to see!

  • Lyric #5 - Metamorphosis - Ashley finally meets her grandmother, sorta.

  • Lyric #6 - Oh Mother! - Ashley deals with her family history by visiting her mom.

  • Future episodes are in the works, but technical issues paused production. It’s on the agenda for January 2026. If you’d like more sooner, let us know!

Stand Alone Mysteries:

Locked Room - This story should make you treat your neighbors better!

Bad Company - Love & crime don’t mix.

Audio Excerpts from Fiction Substacks I Love:

Kummer Wolfe - “Dark Device of the Great Chasm” - fast-paced adventure!

Liz Zimmer/The Palace of Night - “Lake Effect” - a moody & melancholy tale.

Scoot/Gibberish - “The Duel” - a taste of film noir, with a robot!

Xavier MacFarlane/The Not Yet Novelist - “The Glaciermen” - "The Thing" meets "Apocalypto"

Lyndsey Resnick/Poison Ivy House - “Apparition” - a spooky short story that warns how memories can wound.

And… you can find all of the 2X2 Interviews HERE! Enjoy! They are a great way to meet Substack writers. I’ll keep adding to the list, as we encourage every writer to do a 2X2 with their favorite Substackers. it’s 2 Substackers asking eachother 2 questions!
