Audiobook Released!
My two main avenues of creativity have always been writing (starting with a poetry contest back in high school) and the performing arts (starting with a choir and drama class back in high school).
I've dabbled in different fandom-type stuff over the years on old accounts and old pen names. But all of that were necessary stepping stones to the real dream I was able to achieve.
Since listening to my first audiobook on Audible, it's been a dream of mine to one day have a novel of my own as an audiobook being distributed through such a large and central platform. Finally, just a few weeks ago, it was greenlit for release: https://www.audible.com/pd/Homecoming...
I need to keep repping my own website blog too, subscribe for updates! - https://www.frankwinterfiction.com/po...
I intend to create an audiobook of everything I ever write. I've settled into a pretty consistent workflow pattern that's fit well within my other life obligations over the years. I'm not promising an annual release rhythm, but that was always a personal goal of mine. So, God willing, it'll keep going for a while.
I can say this for sure, all of the stories I do write are going to be in their most pinnacle form as audiobooks. To give voice and bring my characters to life so literally is always going to be my end goal with each story. At this point the hardest part is just finding new musicians to compose theme songs for me! Lol.
I'd like to keep doing my own cover art too, but depending on the stories that pop up down the road, I'm hoping to connect with some great artists too.
So here's to the future! While I do hope you read my books as soon as they come out, I highly recommend checking them out as audiobooks a year or so later.
And if both are available, the whispersync works really well!
Hope you enjoy.

The Best Reads
Every author has their weaknesses, and mine is probably marketing ... lol.
This is still more passion and career for right now, but I'm going to try to engage more with the Good Reads community, and post blogs here as well.
My major announcements can also be found on my website blog: https://www.frankwinterfiction.com/blog
But I'll try to add some ramblings here once in a while. (Especially now that I have a second book on the way.)
Harbinger is the title of my sequel to Homecoming, which came out in 2021. Combined the books are a duology, the story of those who died in the bombing and the story of those who survived.
Hoping to find an audience in the more formal literary world of thrillers and fiction. I did find small fanbases in my past amateurish pursuits, so I have some faith. It's all about building that body of work.
Plus, I'm close to releasing the audiobook of Homecoming and know my reach will expand with the format. Most of my pleasure reading is through audiobook these days, so I'm hoping people will enjoy.
Anyway, here's to the future and all the stories that make life worth living...
