Now releasing Doris and the Ankh by Brian Holtz
Doris and the Ankh is the latest by veteran podiobook author Brian Holtz:
A fantasy adventure for all ages.
Doris, a neurotic and quirky thirteen-year-old, is thrust into an alternate reality where flowers sneeze, fairies can’t be trusted and a beast that isn’t quite a wolf means to kill her. Racing against time, she’ll learn that anything is possible, even the unlikeliest of things… And sometimes a big imagination is all you need.

Nice work, Brian!
Doris just got past the sneezing flowers, and they are way cool.

Thanks Gail. I’m glad you’re listening. Let me know what you think when you get to the end. I’d love your thoughts on Retorick Boil!

I got to enjoy an advance text copy of this story. Brian injects great humor into this imaginative fantasy story. The characters are fun and cuddly, but there’s a corresponding darkness that keeps the story from being saccharine. This would make a wonderful movie in the style of Labyrinth.
I’ll be releasing an interview with Brian through Podioracket.com on June 29, 2011. You can hear him talk about this story as well as his other Podiobooks.com novels.

Still working my way through, Brian. When you said Retorick Boil, I remembered a couple of mentions and worried I had missed him somehow and started over. I’m much farther into the story now and there’s still not much mention, so the only problem was in my head. I hate it when that happens, but I’m enjoying the story more, knowing I have not missed anything.
I agree with HE Roulo about the movie!

Awww, that was a sweet ending. About Retorick Boil (good name, ick) I didn’t pay too much attention to him, I was busy rooting for
Doris.
