Carol Hightshoe seems to be a writer I can get behind. All at once (I got the impression), she put a bunch of her stories for sale on Amazon.com, and then made a bunch of them available for narrators to audition for. On my brightest, most energetic day, I'd be doing the same damn thing.
During that period when I was looking for small projects, I saw one of them, "Snipe Hunt," and thought it would be up my alley. I sent an audition, and here I am to plug it in my blog.
It's a very short story, set in the bayou (which I can't do the accent of, but hopefully the dialect police have the day off), and I found it amusing. A couple of hillbilly-types discover a passel of invading aliens in their neck of the woods. They've come across the galaxy in search of running targets, but are they wily enough to hunt down the most elusive prey of all . . . the snipe?
I thought it would be fun to give the aliens low-pitched British accents. I don't know if it worked or not, but for a couple of bucks, you can decide for yourself. Here's the link:
