Bria Burton, a great friend of the show, has a story published in this new and interesting anthology The Prometheus Saga. Bria's Story is titled "On Both Sides", and it is a genuine coincidence that is goes along with this month's Journey Into... History.  The premise: When a mysterious woman vanishes during the American Revolution, young Robby Freeman searches for answers from a cryptic sharpshooter who deserted Washington’s Continental Army. I haven't read any of the stories yet since the book launch is today, but I plan to.  Bria asked me to help her out with the audio for a book trailer.  It was a lot of fun to work with her on that.  So I thought I would share it with the rest of you.   To download, right-click here and then click Save Art provided by Charles Cornell (who also has a story in the anthology, "Crystal Night") For more info on the anthology, go here To see the awesome video book trailer that Bria put together, go here
