//KCIW is pleased to present the second episode in the Story Time series Nine O’Clock Horses, written and read by Angela Ewing.
England during and after the the Second World War. It’s based in part on Angela’s own family and her mother’s fight for sanity during the German bombing campaign and the threat of impending invasion.
//Note from Bette:
My husband and I have been listening to Angela’s podcasts on KCIW, and if you haven’t already heard them I would highly recommend that you do so. What a nice 15 minute break at the end of the day!
My only challenge is that I find it cumbersome to scroll down to the episode I’m looking for each day… so I’m going to see if I can post direct links to them each here. There are 12 episodes and we have listened to the first 5. I’m going to post those in 5 individual posts so that they will appear separately in Angela’s archive. I’m sure you will enjoy her story. We are learning a lot about what it was like to be a child living in England during WW II.
//I am recording my new novel, Nine O’Clock Horses, to be serialized on KCIW as a podcast each week. This is my own story based on my life during World War II as a child. You can listen to it and other stories on KCIW Curry Coast Community Radio each week. STORYTIME comes on every Tuesday at 7:00 p.m.

The young lady in the New York beauty salon smiled. “Yes, we’re almost finished. Your hair will be just fine. This permanent wave is designed for thin, fine, and bleached hair – it’s very gentle.”
“You are sure?” I asked. “Oh, please be sure.”
“Oh yes. We’ve done lots of overbleached hair with this particular perm and the results have been really good ….. really really good …..

//Clara Dudley is a nurse in Los Angeles. One Christmas her father gives her a necklace to wear at her wedding. The necklace came from her English ancestors who emigrated to the United States in 1642, just after the Mayflower left England for the New World. When Clara looks in the mirror wearing the necklace, she sees another woman’s face looking back at her. Because of her recent automobile accident, Clara assumes she is hallucinating, but it soon becomes clear she is not.
Intrigued by the girl in the mirror and knowing that there has to be some connection, she travels to England to search for her ancestors and is visited by a dark haired girl, who Clara has to acknowledge is a ghost. A glimpse of the spirit convinces her that it’s the same girl she sees in the mirror.
While searching for answers as to why the ghost still lingers at the inn for four hundred years, Clara discovers her own past life. She finds her ancestors are not the genteel aristocrats she expected them to be. In fact it becomes clear she was the daughter of a terrorist who attempted to assassinate the King of England, which is a true historical event, remembered even to this day in England as The Gun Powder Plot of 1605.
Little does Clara realize that delving into her past life will change her own life in more ways than one.
