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.

Which is utterly expected – graphic arts runs in my family, although it seems to have largely skipped me – but still pleasant to see.
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!

It was an extremely good day at the MD Renn Faire. We’re now almost a third of the way to getting the funds to getting an audiobook done of TINSEL RAIN! You can help by, well, by buying the audiobook for FROZEN DREAMS. Every little bit helps.

I’m trying to encourage more sales of the FROZEN DREAMS audiobook. Why? So as to get the cash together to make an audiobook of TINSEL RAIN, of course. I unfortunately do not sell enough books on my own yet to justify whims. Which is a good thing, mind you. Whims are dangerous.

At the moment, we’re fueling it largely with sales of the FROZEN DREAMS audiobook: I’ll be isolating that revenue out and keeping it in escrow. When I have enough, I’ll get an audiobook of TINSEL RAIN made.
Here’s where we stand now.
…Well, the first one, at least. Basically, I’m trying to figure out a way to get an audiobook of TINSEL RAIN going. Alas, this will cost money*. I’m hoping that if I can get more copies of the FROZEN DREAMS audiobook sold, I can start scraping that money together.
So, you know. Tell all your friends.
*There are reasons why it will cost money, it will have to happen in a certain way, and alternative scenarios are non-viable. This is, like, kinfolk stuff.

Background: we had a dude asking for books…
…and, since I should toss more into soldier-related charities anyway, I packed some of my novels* and sent them along. If you’re an independent author yourself, you should maybe think about doing this, too. Bread on the waters, and all that.

I’m not saying this is the final form, but I think the general idea is sound.
FROZEN DREAMS, TINSEL RAIN, and TALES FROM THE FERMI RESOLUTION (Tom Vargas novella in that one), to be specific. Tom Vargas is my post-apocalyptic, fantasy pulp detective. He’s a lot of fun to write, and I have the next book of his (BANSHEE BEACH) on deck after I finish the new novel.
Anyway… three books, eleven bucks: it’s a damned good deal, frankly. Particularly in these uncertain financial times. People should buy them.
