Audio Post Alert
Hello and welcome to another episode for the Julie Writes Books podcast! As I promised in this week’s Weekly Roundup post, here is the full audio clip for one of my short stories that was published in an anthology earlier this year.
I’m rating this one PG-13 because it talks briefly about an overdose death of a character. Also, I thought it’d be nice to have British voice actress Eleanor Hastings bnarrate this story since the main character is from England.

An Audio Excerpt from In His Absence
Welcome to today’s episode of the podcast. I’m sharing a deeply personal excerpt from my book, In His Absence—A Death Story. In this segment, I open up about the quiet aftermath of loss—the ways grief can leave us feeling both surrounded and profoundly alone.
Whether you’ve experienced this journey yourself or are supporting someone who has, I hope these words provide a measure of comfort and understanding as we explore the realities of living with absence.
If you recognize yourself in these words, know that you’re not alone in the silence that follows loss. Healing isn’t linear, and there’s no right way to grieve—but together, by sharing our stories, we can find moments of hope amid the emptiness.
If you’d like to read more, my book In His Absence—A Death Story will be on sale at Smashwords for 75% off starting March 1. https://www.smashwords.com/books/view/1758323
I hope it brings comfort and understanding to anyone navigating the long road of grief.
