Had a great time this year at the virtual Audiobook Publishers Association Conference. One takeaway was that there was almost no movement on AI narration. The same pubs who were committed to human only narration in 2024 still are; the one that was ambivalent still is.

April Fools Day 1998...always thought it ironic that I picked this day to follow in my grandpa's footsteps and enlist in the Navy at the ripe old age of 25. But it definitely had an effect on me. 🤣

I want to work with writers who avoid AI. Not because it's slop, though it is that. It's because...look, learning this craft took st lot of time, money and effort. I do it because I like to do it. I like the process of creation/discovery. "Real" writers also "get that," ya know?

Time to reintroduce myself! Audiobook narrator here, love reading and working in historical fiction, noir, horror, thrillers, sci-fi and nonfiction. If you're a writer who shuns AI and is looking for an audio partner, link in bio...

A bunch of narrators and authors got together this week under the banner of Human Voices 4 Human Rights in support of the Community Aid Network MN (www.canmn.org). Because human rights are rights, not privileges. Thanks, @elmojedi.bsky.social!

I have my signed copy of Baxter Black’s poetry book, and astonishingly I keep it because I think that’s pretty durn special.
SD is so unforgiving of underbubbly starter and underproved dough. Had more than a couple baked cow pies until I figured it out. Also...<Whispers> try a little spelt.

Doesn’t that feel good?
Surely we can do better than “falter.” Is “collapse” “fail” or “tank” not an option?
How fun is this?! I used to attend rendezvous until I was teenager and I had those better teenager things to do. My old man was called Badger. But it was fun shooting bp and learning the old ways with about the most colorful band of wacky people I’ve ever known.

It's not that I was reluctant to say goodbye to 2025, I'm just busy. Thanks to Jim Chambers, Mark A. Rimmer, John Hopkinson, Michael D. Urban, Tumbleweird, and One Audiobooks for trusting me to tell their wonderful stories. Here's to an even more amazing 2026.

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to you all!
So, this came out last week on Audible! The California Run by Mark A Rimmer is a story set in 1850 about two clipper ships vying to be first into San Francisco by hook or by crook.

I'm a little bit Team Sheldon but they're all great picks!
RELEASE DAY is here!! A Bright and Beautiful Eternal World by the amazing James Chambers is out today on Audible. What a fun and challenging project. Pick up this book in audio or eBook if you like rich Lovecraftian storytelling.

Tomorrow night I'll be hanging out with some kool kids for a discussion on writing, audiobook creation, and more! We'll have a Q&A, live readings, and whatever else we can think of. 🤣

...and don't use it for your audiobook either 💪
140 y.o.writer should have a 140 yo pitch, no?
I have a proposition regarding a collaborative artistic enterprise and should be much obliged if you would give it your kind consideration. I have long admired your work and I believe that to combine our otherwise isolate talents would serve to produce a project of impact and purpose....
Here's a poem by Rainer Maria Rilke to welcome fall. I'm so not ready to wind down the year. Still time this year if you want to work with me to produce your audiobook!

Idk how many editions I've had over the years 🤣
Thrilled to announce this upcoming audiobook coming in late fall 2025! The California Run by Mark A. Rimmer. Two of the most modern clipper ships vie for the prize: first to San Francisco and the profits that await...but there's mischief afoot.

Oh my goodness! Have a narrator yet? Please say no 🤣
New horror short story anthology from James Chambers coming out this summer! Great writing, pretty good narration, if I do say so myself.
