This is speculation, but why else would KDP/Audible/Amazon want your manuscript? They know AI audiobooks aren’t top-sellers. To me, this seems like predatory behavior on authors who can’t afford to produce audiobooks with human voices. What do you think?

Body dysmorphia isn’t something that goes away. You live with it forever. But working out with a purpose to get strong for stage combat? That sure helps.

My thoughts on audiobook kickstarters? They’re totally doable! And I’ve helped three different authors exceed goal. If you’re interested in Kickstarter coaching or want me to narrate your book (I coach for free on those), let me know. It’s possible!

I was on the subway this afternoon when a woman started throwing up. Everyone moved away from her, but since I was hearing a mask, I felt I could go up and help. We got her off the train when she was stable, but she mentioned a terrible flu was going around her school. 😳 Wear. A. Mask. Y’all.

If your book reads like white bread, I’m gonna call it out (nicely!) Diversity is so important, so if you have the opportunity to make one of your characters BIPOC, disabled, or LGBTQAI+ I’m going to ask you to explore that.

Hey friends, if you’re not already masking up, I highly recommend you do so. The fact that information regarding transfer of Avian Flu to cats and humans was posted and then shortly deleted seems really fishy to me. Get yourself some solid masks and prep for handwashing on the reg.

Today is Holocaust Remembrance Day. It is more important now than ever before to remember the atrocities that were committed during the Holocaust and to ensure that they DO NOT EVER HAPPEN AGAIN. Our country is already on a dangerous, downhill path, and we cannot allow this history to be repeated.
