It was smoke. No, it was darkness, like a piece of the night sky had been torn out and brought to the world. It shifted and flickered as if not meant to be and existed by force of will alone. It took the form of a man and within that form twinkled stars and galaxies. If Tula looked closely she could make out high cheekbones and an aquiline nose, but she dared not look closely. A Bird for a Heart is a fantasy fiction podcast written and recorded by Michael J Patrick.

Hi, I’m Michael J Patrick, author and voice of A Bird for a Heart. You may have noticed that I did not post an update last Monday. I then posted on my blog at abirdforaheart.blogspot.com that I would be changing my schedule. After working hard to get on target with the new schedule, I am still far behind. Rather than rush to release an inferior episode, I have decided to skip the update and get back onto my previous schedule of updating every other Monday. I try my best to keep the podcast on schedule, but I think quality of my writing, recording, and editing should be the most important factor.Episode Eight will be up on April 7th.If you are enjoying the story so far, please rate and review it on Apple Podcasts or the podcast player of your choice. Also, feel free to share A Bird for a Heart with your friends.If you are not enjoying the podcast, then share it with your enemies. That will show them.Thank you for your patience, and thank you for listening. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
