Peter and the Pumpkin Eater is book that will be written online. The goal is to update it daily. The story is not written yet. Nothing is designed but a very loose premise. And yet, I intend to write every day. The end product will be a full length middle-reader.

Here's what I have of the premise so far:
Peter will move to a small town where he will face his worst fears.

The Pumpkin Eater comes.

Who is the Pumpkin Eater? I'm not really sure yet. Let's find out together.

Test recording

So I did a quick test recording of myself reading the first part. And just for the fun of it (sort of goofing off) I read it with a bit of an accent. I had been chatting with a friend and we had joked how we always enjoyed our books on tape better when the reader had a British accent. So I gave it a shot. I don't do a really great British...but...I was fairly surprised that I quite liked the results. Primarilly, it keeps me from mumbling and being marble mouthed and sounding Utahn. Beyond that, it keeps me annunciating...which is awesome.

Anyhow, it's not a really clean recording (my wife was doing the dishes in the background at the time) but it gives the idea of what I'm thinking.
