Up to 55% on the TINSEL RAIN audiobook fund!

It’s a somewhat subjective thing, given that I have to keep a running total in my head and allocating money from whatever ‘extra’ I have at the end of the month. For that matter, this is just for the getting the funds together to start the project, not the whole thing. Still, we progress*. We will progress further with every FROZEN DREAM audiobook sold, so if you know somebody who likes audiobooks, feel free to recommend me!

*For the record: I’ll be damned before I use AI for my audiobooks. Not just for ethical reasons, either. That’s a disaster just waiting to happen.

Up to 53% on the TINSEL RAIN audiobook project!

Slowly but surely, we pull together the money needed to start the process to get an audiobook – a PROPER audiobook – for TINSEL RAIN. I’m not going down the AI route for this one. I respect my readers too much. Frankly, I respect myself too much.

As always, feel free to help with this by buying one of my books! Or try out the FROZEN DREAMS audiobook for yourself. It’s good! Other people have told me that. Some of them didn’t even have ulterior motives to do so.

TINSEL RAIN Audiobook Drive now at 47%!

Although that does come with a caveat: that’s 47% of the first half. The second half might have to involve draining my escrow account, tapping personal money, and even some outright fundraising. Still, having half available up front is enough to start the project. Also: there’s no way I’m going to borrow money to do this project, because I’m not insane.

Still, feel free to tell your friends to buy the audiobook for FROZEN DREAMS. All funds accumulated there go right into the TINSEL RAIN audiobook fund. Every separate bit helps!

Finally finished the WORLD WAR Z audiobook.

The expanded WORLD WAR Z audiobook, mind you. There are two versions, which I didn’t know when I bought the smaller one first. It is a measure of how good the longer audiobook is that I don’t mind spending extra. I say this as somebody who is not actually into audiobooks, too. The format helped a lot – they got a full cast to do all the interviewees, and a good one – and I was struck by how much harder some of the stories hit when you heard them, instead of read them. Good stuff, good stuff.

But God but this took forever to do.

The TINSEL RAIN audiobook fund: at 44%!

I’ve calculated the money I need to bring in every month in order to keep my publishing schedule on track, and this month represents a good enough month that I could take the extra and put it towards an audiobook fund. We are now at 44% to get the audiobook for TINSEL RAIN made! …Well, 44% of the way to the first half. Once I have that, I can figure out where I’m gonna find the second half.

In the meantime, feel free to buy the audiobook for FROZEN DREAMS. That’ll help a lot with this. Besides, Christmas is coming up! And what better gift, than me?

42% on the TINSEL RAIN audiobook project!

We’re getting there. Slowly but surely, we’re getting there. I should note that I will not be offering an audiobook stretch goal in future Kickstarters; it’s not easy to use crowdfunding to properly recompense the audiobook narrator. We’ll just get the money another way.

Speaking of, all existing audiobook revenue is being used to fund future ones. Encourage your audiobook-loving friends to check out FROZEN DREAMS!
