About this episode

This episode features a story from John Able's anthology that touches on themes of loss, suitable for a family audience.

***Parents Guardians Adults & young Adults*** This story is from my newly published anthology - The Vending Machine Birth and other stories of Japan - available through Amazon This book is NOT aimed at young readers however today's story is suitable for this podcast though it does hint at adult themes around loss and is longer than usual episodes. As previously mentioned the podcast is free and without ads so if you like what I do this is a good opportunity to support the show and get something in return. Kindle copy is the price of a coffee, please purchase and leave an honest review! https://amzn.eu/d/0coBMF4k johnablewriter@gmail.com
