The Teacher and the Tree Man

The Teacher and the Tree Man

By Bryan Winchell

An audio version of my 2015 novel, "The Teacher and the Tree Man." The book blurb: Teacher Paul Lucas seems to have a good life--a solid job, loving family, a house and a car--but the culture he lives in, with its disregard for Nature, its bellicose politics, its wars, its problems with both legal and illegal drugs, its struggles to educate its youth ... well, it's enough to get a guy down. So when he discovers a mysterious creature in an old-growth forest behind his house, he'll have to confront those issues and more if he's going to be of any use to the creature, and even more, himself.

Book 1, Chapters 13-16

These four chapters seem to revolve around issues relating to trust--who can we trust when it comes to events happening in our world?--and it seems this question is just as relevant today as it was for our characters in fall of 2001 when these four chapters take place.

Also, due to some missing words from the original chapters 13 and 14 that I released on the B&P Realm back in February, I re-recorded all of chapter 13 and then recorded just the messed-up parts of chapter 14, so you may notice some sound quality differences. I hope it doesn't take away from your enjoyment of the book. Let me know if you ever hear any other issues so I can fix them!

Okay, these next four chapters you're going to meet one of my favorite characters of the story and you're going to see things take a turn which really kicks the rest of the novel into high gear, so rather than reading my yakking about it, get to it ... oh, but hey, hey, my, my brain forgot ... stick around after chapter 12 for my special interview with one of rock n roll's all-time greatest iconoclasts! The algorithms are gonna take note of this one! Enjoy!!
