I recorded this a couple of years back. I've made it a tradition to repost every September 11th in memorial to all those people who lost their lives that day. Never take your present moment for granted. Andrea Carter Brown is the editor of The Washington Prize from The Word Works. She’s the author of several books of poetry, including The Disheveled Bed, Brook & Rainbow, and Domestic Karma. She’s won contests and her work has been recognized by The River Oak Review, Thin Air, and the Poetry Society of America, among others. Her latest book is called September 12. She’s a former resident of downtown Manhattan. On the morning of 9/11, she fled her apartment a block away from the World Trade Center amidst the destruction, not knowing if or when she would ever return.

Also, I just released Massimo’s Mirror and Other Stories. Its my first collection of short stories. The book uses fantasy, science fiction, and fairy tales to create a world where a magical array of protagonists conquer their fears, battle forces of evil, and step up to meet their potential. Suitable for the secular and religious alike, these stories are full of symbolism and quirky characters, including aliens, robots, angels, demons, superheroes, gods, animals, giants, monsters and dragons. At just the right length to hold the attention of children and adults alike, all 50 stories are crafted to entertain and make us see behind the veil of reality, and perhaps teach something along the way.   The eBook and paperback editions are available on Amazon. You can purchase an autographed copy on my website.     The Story King Podcast  Podbean Apple Spotify Pandora Audible Google Play iHeart Radio Stitcher Follow The Story King Podcast: Instagram Twitter  Facebook  Support The Story King Podcast: Patreon
