The Diaries of Penelope Ember (Episode Six, The Mid-Season Finale)

Here is what I am referring to as the mid-season finale of Season One of The Diaries of Penelope Ember. During the interim I will be working on the final draft of my upcoming fantasy novel, The Caballa, which I have described elsewhere as “The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe, as written by Stephen King”.

I don’t plan to be inactive here, however. But more on that later.

So here ’tis. Hope you enjoy
