In this episode, we read "The Rain Dancer" a short story by Alan Scott.

Alan Scott was born and raised on the West Coast of Scotland, and returns regularly to top up his accent. He joined the RAF in 1989 and traveled  the world, where he met the wicked and the witless, as well as the kind and thoughtful. He left in 2001.

Having been a lifelong avid reader of dark fantasy, and in 2010 finally decided to try writing his own, using his treasured homeland and love of  music for inspiration.

With the help of a proofreader in Texas, USA, and an illustrator from Berlin, Germany, he has created 'The Storm Series', which currently consists of a trilogy of novels and three books of short stories.

He is fan-friendly and welcomes all comments and reviews of his work.

Alan's greatest writing achievement so far is to have one of stories “Deadly Tap of a Cane”; chosen by WorldReader for use by them. http://www.worldreader.org aims to help spread ebooks and literacy in developing countries. 

He still cannot help but smile when he sees that his work has been downloaded in as faraway places as Japan and Brazil.
