I am pleased as punch to offer up the Season 1 finale of Everly Heights Tales for your end-of-year listening pleasure. I call it The Half-Life of Hand-Me-Downs.
Peter Postal is five years older, a little wiser, and officially free from the state slammer. While working at the Everly Heights Community Center, a chance encounter with a troubled teen forces him to confront the ghost of his illicit punk rock past. It’s time for Postal to prove that even a broken record doesn’t have to skip on the same track forever. Join us for the gritty, heartfelt conclusion to Season 1.
A big shout out to Kaleb Deatherage for playing both the main character of this episode (Peter Postal) and the musician Ryon in a previous episode. He’s really carved out a niche in Everly Heights as the voice of the punk rock spirit!
Season 2 Is Waiting In The Wings
This marks the end of this season of stories, but fear not! Season 2 starts January 14, 2026 with Mr. Matheson’s Long Division, an adaptation of last year’s web comic Mr. Matheson’s Arithme-TIPS, available in a collected edition on Amazon.
I want to thank the dozens of actors who have helped me tell my stories this year. Some old faces, a lot of new ones, all of them pitch perfect representations of the voices I heard when I wrote the stories. Another big shout out to Makáriah Gaddis for composing our theme song “Gravity,” which will carry on and end every episode in Season 2. It’s a great tune!
Listen to this week’s episode (linked above) for some teasers of this and other stories coming up in the new year.
The Holiday Bundle… For free?
In my last e-mail, I let you know about a big discount on every book, audiobook, comic book, font, template, etc. we have on the site. I called it the Holiday Bundle.
The bundle is still available at the deeply discounted price of $40 until mid-January, but I wanted to give people looking to save a couple bucks a way to grab all this stuff I’ve been working on over the last 1-5-10-25-ish years. There’s a lot in this pack…
INSTRUCTIONS FOR A FREE PROMO CODE
- Go to Everly Heights Tales on Apple Podcasts or Spotify.
- Leave an honest star rating and an optional review. Snap a screenshot before you submit!
- E-mail the screenshot to billmeeks@everlyheights.tv
- I’ll send you a code to grab the pack for free on the Shop.
Sometime in February, I’ll be changing the branding for this bundle and making it full price, but this deal to get it for free never expires. 1 honest review = 1 pack of free stories + tools.
Well, that does it for this year. See you soon with more tales from Everly Heights. I’ll be spending tomorrow ringing in yet another year of life. Yep. I’m a New Year’s baby.
