    The House of the Seven Gables is a gloomy New England mansion, haunted from its foundation by fraudulent dealings, accusations of witchcraft, and sudden death. The current resident, the dignified but desperately poor Hepzibah Pyncheon, opens a shop in a side room to support her brother Clifford, who is about to leave prison after serving twenty-five years for murder. She refuses all assistance from her unpleasant wealthy cousin Judge Jaffrey Pyncheon. A distant relative, the pretty young Phoebe, turns up and quickly becomes invaluable, charming customers and rousing Clifford from depression. A delicate romance grows between Phoebe and the mysterious lodger Holgrave, who is writing a history of the Pyncheon family.
    The House of the Seven Gables is set mainly in the mid-19th century, with glimpses into the history of the house, which was built in the late 17th century. The primary interest of this book is in the subtle and involved descriptions of character and motive.

Hi Nicodemus,

I'll be your MC for this project. Give me a bit to get your Magic Window set up, and we'll get on our way. :D

I'd recommend you use the Librivox Uploader for your files. The info for it is:

username: librivox
password: librivox123


I'll send you a PM with the details on how to edit your Magic Window with the rest of the Chapter titles and your listen links as you get chapters done.

Shelagh,
I would be very grateful if you would PL my project. I was going to advertise after I posted my first chapter. Thank you. I'll PM you with the magic box info.
Look for my first chapter within two or three days, after I finish up some of my loose end noise cleans and a chapter for a collaboration.
I'm so excited I could pee myself> :D

Actually, Nicodemus,

I can add Shelagh as your Dedicated Proof Listner, so you don't have to PM her the Magic Window info.

Nicodemus,

Great to see you have 2 sections recorded! :D It may be helpful for shelagh if you also post in the thread with a note saying Chapter 01, ect is uploaded, then she'll likely get an email saying a new message has posted, and she'll know to check to see if you have a new chapter up and ready for proof listening. If you only update the listen link, which is good, too, she won't get the notice of activity in the thread.
