Audio Books

I'm old-fashioned. I like to smell paper, the glue bindings and whatever material makes the front and back covers. I like to turn pages and yes, occasionally get paper cuts. OK, so I don't like paper cuts, but I'm trying to make a point here!
I don't even own an eReader!
BUT...yes, an all caps but...I'm not averse to pushing a disc in and being read a story while I drive. Or eat. Or lay on the beach. C'mon, who doesn't like being read to? Especially if the voice is soothing. Like Morgan Freeman's voice is. Not so much Harvey Fierstein's voice. I'm sure he's a nice person, but his tones are less than soothing.
James Earl Jones is soothing, as is Patrick Stewart.


So, given the love that I have of being read to, I'm assuming others will love it too. With that in mind, I'm going to really try to make every book that Savage Worlds Publishing available in audio format as well. It just makes sense.
I wonder who I can get for Fire At Dawn? Maybe this guy...?






So let me know what you all think. To audio or not to audio...

To Wear or Not to Wear (A Hijab Confession)

Female Intuition is a series I’ve started to tackle issues that women ought to have very pronounced opinions on. I feel that men express opinions and create ‘rules’ in regards women’s issues without fully understanding what women actually think and feel. I don’t identify as a feminist, but I do feel strongly about women’s issues and I strongly believe in the right of every woman to make decisions for herself. If you have any suggestions for topics, feel free to leave and comment and check out the category here . ~ Different parts of the world and different cultures/religions view feminine modesty in very different ways. As someone who grew up in a Muslim family, practiced the strict doctrines until I was about 19 and then subsequently left this belief system by way of a very painful epiphany – I feel I have the full experience of being a young woman who used to cover fully, to someone who dresses substantially more casually now. I would like to say that I was happy with my...

So here's what's happening...

Believe it or not, I'm actually still sick. Nowhere near as bad as it was, but still sick. Amazing! This is the veracity of the man-flu. But, since I'm no longer on life support (since my wife has strict orders to NEVER pull the plug), I've had to get up and do something. So, I've been busy editing. That disgusting, vile occupation that comes after the book was written perfectly in the first place. OK, so there were a lot of misspelled words and bad punctuation, but the story was perfect. OK, so I found scenes that didn't make sense and maybe a few needed beefing up, but the entire premise was perfect. And just because a couple chapters were at least a thousand words short of average, I mean really, what harm does that do? So what that I was able to put an entire sub-story in. It's not like I had to rewrite the entire book. It was perfect. Yeah, that says it all. When I write, I have Word open, I have a thesaurus open and I have Bing open for doi...

Fun With Pens

So, we all know that writers are a bit unlevel. You know, off-kilter. OK, we're batshit crazy! But, there are more of us than you think. Lots of people have a need to tell their story, no matter if it's in a voluminous multi-edition series of works, or just standing by the water cooler. It's been this way since the first man stood up and did something. Even if all he did was to throw a rock, he needed to tell others about it. This carries over, through thousands of years of negative thoughts on writing. People don't want to write for fear it isn't going to be "good enough". Ummm, good enough for who...or is it whom? Doesn't matter, the answer is... I don't know. I write because I have stories that demand to be told. Writers have what they call muses. It's just another fancy name for the voices in their heads, but if they admitted to hearing voices in their heads, they would be labeled as crazy and not just eccentric. Maybe, you migh...
