Did you self publish "The Girl Who Can Cook"? Also, props on seemingly producing your own audiobook version. During your wife's narrations, is she "off mic" or using a different style of microphone? I'd assume the latter, her audio sounds how mine turns out when I try to use my MacBook's built in microphone vs. setting up my mics & mixer. Just curious.

Sorry for my late response, I forget that Goodreads exist. Kate was using the same everything, though she read it in a different position so it sounded different as the gates and filters were set up for me. I could have easily changed it once it was recorded but there was a certain tinny, uncertain quality to it that I quite liked and hoped wouldn't be taken as a technical issue because it's not like there were pops or problems. Or the files are wrong and I'd never know because Amazon's back end is worse than anyone could imagine.

The week that we did this I was afflicted with some sort of strange intranasal clicking disorder (I've never had a sinus issue) and I had to read the entire book from my back which required a pretty gnarly windscreen and mic set up (I think I used a YETI, but we may have used a normal stage SM58 through a direct box)

Hope you enjoyed it,

Mike(less)

How do you deal with writer’s block?

Mike Wehner If the words don't come I open a blank document and I write what I call "Shellies."

These are goofy/dark/offensive/silly/whatever poems like you might find in "Where the Sidewalk Ends" but with adult themes. Sometimes all it takes is one to put me back on track, other times I bang out ten of them and start doing drawings to accompany them. As of this writing I have 600 of them, at least two or three are really good.(less)

Quotes by Mike Wehner (?)

“True friendship is trading photos from toilets. It’s a willingness to be vulnerable and stupid and irreverent in a way that other people can’t accept and that you can’t accept from other people.”

“People used to build great libraries to symbolize man’s quest for knowledge, now we have the Internet which is both more powerful and wonderful. The men who used to get their information from the library were considered scholars but the men who get their information from the Internet are considered idiots, or worse, thieves.”
