I'm Liz Sauer and this is Ghosts in the Verbs, a podcast of ghost stories from Wellesley

Massachusetts.

A warning, adults who use adult language told me these frightening tales, these ghost

stories aren't for kids.

As most of you have probably realized by now, I am an unreliable narrator.

I don't always tell you everything, sometimes I hold some things back, besides that I don't

always do what I say I'm going to do.

Sometimes I tell you one thing, only to do another, which leads us to today.

I told you that I planned to take a six month break.

I said I'd return during our high holy season.

I said it would take me six months to write the book, but I was mistaken again.

The book is done.

The first draft sitting quietly, waiting until the story of a severely haunted cul-de-sac,

gets fuzzy in my mind, so I can go back and edit it with fresh eyes in a few weeks.

It's August now, and I don't want to wait until October to start sharing my neighbor's

spooky stories with you or my own for that matter.

I want that October feeling right now.

So on Monday, August 12, you could expect the next installment of Ghosts in the Verbs,

or it might be out of the swells.

I'm not sure yet, but a new episode will appear.

In the meantime, I need to thank some of the podcast-genre supporters.

These people have been patiently waiting over the hiatus for a thank you.
