Kursk - A very personal story about being stuck in the what might have been...Don Muchow is a major contributing Author on the Untold Tales podcast. He lives and works in the suburbs of Dallas, TX, where he is an advocate for health, longevity and people thriving with T1 Diabetes. A lifelong advocate of immersive, dystopian SF, he believes that buried in the shadows of every dark future lies the inextinguishable spirit of hope and the yearning for a better tomorrow.

Double Hit - Managing the time continuum is risky business.Chris Morton's stories have been described as being in the genres of slacker lit, sci-fi lit, sci-fi psyche, magical realism, and avant-garde. He is the author of three novels, six novellas, and over thirty short stories. An English teacher for twenty years, Morton is also the author of the teaching guide: 'TEFL Flashcard Games for Young Learners.'Our wonderful Untold Tales Author Shamaan Casey was raised in Converse, TX. Growing up, he always watched a lot of animation, which gave him a deep appreciation for voice acting, which only grew as the years went on. Even from a young age, he had a voice that commanded the attention of others. Though not an attention seeker, he always noticed how heads would turn when he spoke, and he was often compared to James Earl Jones and Morgan Freeman, even in middle school. When he chose to pursue a career in culinary arts and work as a food salesman, everyday people would tell him that I should be in radio. With years of public speaking experience thanks to his religious ministry, he finally yielded to all of the advice he had received over the years and finally embraced getting into the world of voice-over by making audiobooks. Now, he combines my vocal talents with his love of reading to help bring stories to life. When he's not reading, he's cooking, baking, or gaming. Whatever he's doing, he's got a story to tell.

What is a dream between mother and daughter? Some connections span the consciousness of space and time.Another thought-provoking story by Untold Tales Author Matilda Scotney!
