I'm so excited to announce that I finally have an audiobook option for you. Many people have asked. Until now producing an audiobook was beyond my bank account. So what has changed?

A.I.

It's a little bit painful to say that. If I had unlimited funds, I much rather pay the three to five thousand dollars needed to hire a voice actor and get professional recording and editing to produce a high quality product but I can't do that. Not at the moment anyway.

Amazon is testing a sophisticated AI program to read books on their platform. I got to choose the voice I wanted from a list of seven. I listen to the Whispersync on my Kindle all the time and this is nothing like that. The flow is normal. The tones for all the voices were surprisingly natural. I'm sure there are still things to be worked out, hence the Beta mode, but it's a start.

Is it ideal? No. I figured this will give me the opportunity to see how much interest there is in an audio version of my novels. For now, you can get Fallout and Trespassing on audio. If there's interest, I will do Linchpin and Iteration too. I would love to hear about your experience for anyone who gives these a try.

Happy listening!
