An Audio Presentation
It seems we now have two versions of "The Wooing of Lady Anne" running simultaneously. The original can be found under Audio Gallery, first established there 3 years ago. And now we have a new version in the works which we think is going to be a great improvement.
After much close attention given to technical detail and essentially the choreography of this new version we have come up with great results and what we feel to be a very smoothly running presentation for your enjoyment. It is to be noted that some older machines, while viewing the presentation, may experience slight delays in the graphic effects we have introduced.
I'm afraid I over-indulge in the quest for perfection. Hence the tortoise-like pace of things on the development of Evil Incarnate...but perfection never seems reachable, does it? All we can hope is that the improvements will entertain you.

"Yay Mark", .
Speaking of "Visitors' Corner", he's also concerned with my apparent lack of response to it. The mailings which come to me through what they call at our end...the "Feedback Administration", is not exactly an effective kick in the pants sounding acronym, I might add. Whatever, maybe he can become the catalyst to get something going in these matters.
Evil Incarnate
Update, Preview and Review
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
In the next few days keep your eyes on the lookout for a sample of the new beginning for Episode 2 of Evil Incarnate; “The wooing of Lady Anne”. (which will include Frid's reading) I am overjoyed with the marvelous work that Mark Lawrence and Sherlock have brought to this piece that plays out Richard of Gloucester’s gloomy if not gruesome wooing of the widowed Lady Anne over the casket of her now deceased father-in-law, King Henry VI.
Anne’s own father became known down through history as the “king maker” thereby adding a new maxim to the English language. Once again his daughter becomes an eligible prize for a future king. It would seem that Anne herself gave the English language a new maxim: “political pawn”.

Update, Preview and Review
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
This "Update, Preview, and Review" will keep you posted on the exact state of affairs as we move along day-by-day...week-by-week...with our re-organization of Evil Incarnate. In the works is an updated program to be completed in due course with a completely new recorded reading of the episodes by yours truly. A
ll four episodes are currently being unified through the exclusive illustrations of Sherlock.In the meantime it's anybody's guess.
Episode 1: The Reign of Terror
\
"...And therefore, since I cannot prove a lover,
To entertain these fair well-spoken days,
I am determined to prove a villain
And hate the idle pleasures of these days..."
~~~~
Episode 2: The Wooing of Lady Anne
"...For then I'll marry Warwick's youngest daughter.
( ?
The readiest way to make the wench amends
Is to become her husband
~~~~
Episode 3: A Troubled Coronation
Original Illustration by Trevor Jimenez Current Illustration by Sherlock
"...Why, Buckingham, I say I would be king."
"Why, so you are, my thrice-renowned lord."
"Ha? am I king? 'tis so-but Edward lives..."
~~~~
Episode 4: A Nightmare Foreshadows Collapse
"...Give me another horse! bind up my wounds!
Have mercy, Jesu!-Soft, I did but dream.
O coward conscience, how dost thou afflict me!..."

A Recent Posting from Visitors' Corner
"Dear Mr. Frid, Hi there... I like the little teasers that you are putting up for your update to the Evil Incarnate section. But you demoted Sam to the second page and he strikes me as being a front page kitty. But still I'm looking forward to seeing more added to the Evil Incarnate section..." Valentina You will indeed...thanks. jf
Not to be forgotten however...lol

Rather than reorganizing it into a more readable form (as once promised), we have decided to post pieces from it periodically onto the Home Page as we continue to do the laborious work in making improvements to the four episodes of Evil Incarnate.
I have to keep reminding myself that I am an octogenarian and that this is a hobby, plain and simple. As much as I would like to answer all my visitors' feedback...and I do read and appreciate it...I'm getting a rather weak with my time management. But I will keep trying.
