100 Years of Ermintrude on Twaudio

100 Years of Ermintrude, the Trilogy

My first foray into the world of print was to create a trilogy of ebooks called 100 Years of Ermintrude.

Each ebook consists of 33 four line stanzas and together the stories tell a poignant story of many generations of a family.

The first story came out first as a PDF, then as an MP3 audio download and then I wrote the two sequels and published it.

Little did I know when I wrote it that each stanza was around 140 characters or less so I Twittered it recently.

Then I found this amazing tool recently called Twaudio – you can listen to the first of the trilogy for free here …

The Ermintrude Years from 100 to 60

The Ermintrude Years from 55 to 16

The Ermintrude Years from 15 to zero

Here’s what people have been saying about it …

“Truly a touching piece of work and artistry wonderfully complimented by the guitar music. Thought provoking to the extent I just wanted to ‘hug’ someone.” – SarahJayne Caffray

“I watched/listened to Ermintrude with a couple of friends. If is fantastic, really moving. It made us all sit back and think. Afterwards the room was quiet for a few minutes. It was strange, we then starting talking about who each character was. Definitely a profound effect. Then we watched it again.” – Denise Harris

“Stop, look and listen. Read, learn and inwardly digest. I’m touched and delighted. I’m quiet.” – Jackie Walker

“Stunning, I cried, that’s all” – Maurice Watts

“Ermintrude was a physical, spiritual and emotional journey designed for the soul. A feast for the senses, a harmonic blend of music, voice, and art and prose. A piece to reflect and time out for those who are too busy wasting time instead of living life.” – frankie picasso
