Let's make audiobooks, authors!
I am been enthused about creating an audiobook companion for my upcoming Science Fiction and Fantasy novel.
One thing many new authors and particularly self-published ones don't realize is that the more books an author sells, the more likely he or she will make a sustainable income. An audiobook is an additional product that can reach a specific audience.
The $2 billion audiobook industry is growing at an exponential rate and according to The Statistics Portal, 18 percent of readers use audio books. Goldenheart: How to Love Humanity.
I hope you have had the pleasure of reading along with a book and hearing your favorite author, or driving in horrendous traffic to college or work and enjoying a great story that makes life more palatable. Books can be our companions almost anywhere, and we can offer our readers more choices for their experiences with us.
Go ahead; add an audiobook to your plans and thank me later.

Aside from making a greater profit, audiobooks reach people with special needs who may not otherwise enjoy our books, such as people who have low vision or blindness.
I write my books to music and I know many of you do. I'm eager to read my book for readers and have original music accompany it in the mood it was written. I have been working on a soundtrack for my upcoming novel and recently composed a melody for the audiobook of my previous nonfiction book, Goldenheart: How to Love Humanity.

Solving Verb Tense Problems
During some recent editing work, I encountered a book that had multiple verb tenses. To complicate issues, the novel had multiple character timelines. Having wrestled with this problem before, I opted for the past tense. Why?
First, understand that there are certain things that readers accept without noticing, such as the common dialogue tags "he said/she said." We read those without considering them, but when we encounter "he extrapolated," that gets our attention. This is why journalists stick with he said/she said so that their message gets through and the reader's focus isn't shifted to which fancy tags they use.
Verb tense is similar for readers. Most books are written in the past tense. When we happen upon a book that uses present tense, our attention shifts temporarily to the writer's verb construction. I do believe that setting a book in the now creates a special experience for readers, just like writing with a first person narrator does. However, when you're writing a book and verb tense is all over the place, revert to the past tense--the most common form we experience--and save the sophisticated verb usage for times when it feels right and is easier to implement. https://www.goodreads.com/author/show...#
