  1. Thank you, Dawn and Forrest for a wonderful recording. The debut of “Professor Gabriel and Her 101 Posse” is happily in your professional voice and hands on The Deepening.

  2. Dawn,

    Thank you for this fabulous page… So appreciated!

  3. DLKeur says:

    You’re welcome. Recording it was a very intense experience. It’s wonderful to have gotten to know you.

  4. Marva says:

    Great story! I listened avidly the whole time.

  5. Amy says:

    This is terrifying and riveting at the same time. It makes you sit and listen because you wonder whether or not something good can come out of it all. Thank God that you survived this!

  6. Helen Harris says:

    Elynne dear:
    Thank you for the opportunity of listening to your first fiction story. I found it MOST interesting and it kept my attention from the moment it began to the outcome. I just know it is going to be a successful piece of literature for you. Keep up the good work. Hopefully I will be able to see/hear you once again at the N.S.S.C. in July. At that time, perhaps Mom will be strong enough to join us and we can all “lunch” afterwards.
    Meanwhile, good luck, good health, good fortune.
    With warmest regards,
    Helen

  8. Shelagh says:

    Great story, Elynne! The narrator did an excellent job, especially with the dialogue — well done!

    I will look forward to listening to your next story!

    Elynne’s vivid and creative story touches the reader with emotion, just as Prof. Gabriel touched her students…The story of LK and the kidnapping would make an inspirational anticipatory set for any curriculum on creative writing…punctuated with chapter-like titles; ie “The Attic”, The Billboard”, “The Conversation”, etc. the reader is held captive. I love how the story of Miguel is woven as a sub-plot to help clarify the Prof’s “mission” to help LK.
    The wisdom that the writer (and Professor Gabriel)
    imparts throughout is invaluable..”My burden was to help him lose his arrogance..”…”She taught us how not to be afraid”…Listening to her story was a very “deepening experience”..Thank you.

  10. Yvette says:

    compelling, beautifully written, beautifully read…
