Podfic Narration Time – Chapter 1 of “Blackbird” by sorryitsmyfirstdayonearth

Sorry likes to think of herself as the director of her Reader Inserts rather than inhabiting the starring role. And, man, this story is epic! It’s Sam/Reader in the Old West, heavily influenced by the show Deadwood. Narrating the first chapter was such a treat. Definitely going on my TBR list!

Sam Winchester/Reader

Summary:

1880: Blackbird, Dakota territory, is a lawless frontier town. Progress is coming, but for now, whiskey is poured, whores are run and anyone who has a disagreement can settle it with a revolver. Then Samuel Wesson comes to town and to your joint, the Cathouse. He's kind but mysterious, a man with a dark past. He befriends you, the local madam, in his attempt to find his place in Blackbird. Except that Sam’s six foot four of righteous trouble, and you have anything but friendly feelings for him.

But the past isn’t past, and soon Sam’s shadows follow him to town – his brother, his old crew and with them, the cold injustice of the open road.
