I know this is not my typical storytelling choice but I wanted to challenge myself and try something new. I hope you enjoy it! After you listen...perhaps you can settle in for the night with a more relaxing tale to help you drift off!  Happy Halloween my friend!Joanne xoClick on this link for anyone who prefers something a little less spooky and more appropriate for young listeners!A Tale for Halloween by Loretta Ellen Brad (original release date Oct 25, 2022https://www.buzzsprout.com/1651672/11205916-a-tale-for-halloween.mp3?download=trueBecome a Drift Off Premium member today and receive: intro free listening to all episodes 2 monthly bonus episodes access full length audiobooks for your enjoyment and relaxation a monthly guided sleep relaxation *You can subscribe via Apple Podcasts or using the link driftoff.supercast.comYou can also show your support by buying us a coffee.
