President, Editor-in-Chief, and infamous Flâneur, Chris Vandyke, again sneaks into the Great Library of Achten Tan and risks the wrath of Chris "Terry" Durston in order to bring you an important update as to future episodes of Tales From the Year Between. What does he have to say? Will he successfully evade the ever watchful Durston? Will reading this description actually take longer than listening to the episode? You'll have to tune in to find out, Skullgateers!

Another reading, this time courtesy of Kyle Beers and his entrancingly distressing story 'The Wind in the Leaves'.

Kyle is an all-around nerd and lover of nerdy things. When not writing, he meditates, hikes, cooks, paints, and spends time with his dogs. He enjoys turning traditional fantasy tropes on their heads. You can find Kyle on Twitter at @KDBAuthor and at his website, kdbeersauthor.wordpress.com.

We return to the Great Library to hear another story: this time, it's the beautiful 'Dust Motes'.

Chapel Orahamm is an illustrator, academic, and author residing in the middle of no-man’s land big sky country. They have a passion for slipstream, romance, LGBTQ+ novels and the odd short story. Straddling the line between grunge and sappy prose, their world can be found online at kavordianlibrary.com. I can personally attest that it is GOOD, in a startlingly ambitious sort of way, so check it out.

... in which Sounds from the Year Between may or may not make vague overtures at the possibility of developing a plot.

Will anything come of it? Who the heck knows. Probably not, we're all busy. But hey, it could be fun.

In this Episode of Sounds from the Year Between, Skullgate President and Editor-in-Chief of Tales From the Year Between sneaks into the Great Library to bring you a brief explanation as to why there will be no episode of Sounds from the Year Between this week. Which may result in a paradox leading a great disturbance in the space-time continuum and/or the Force, but we'll take our chances.

Another jaunt to the Great Library, and this time it's a most esteemed guest: Skullgate Grand Hierophant Chris Vandyke's here to read four of his stories from Achten Tan!

Chris Vandyke is the founder and president of Skullgate Media, and started Tales from the Year Between because he was bored and it seemed like a good idea at the time. You can see things he writes at cvandyke.com and follow him on Twitter at @aboutrunning, and of course visiting yearbetween.com or skullgate media. com, or visiting any of Skullgate's various social medias, are also pretty good ways to stay up to date with what he’s up to.
