I credit Podiobooks and the free audio podcasts for helping me develop the audience I needed when I started selling my books in text forms.

Coffee takes on an almost ritualistic meaning. I learned that from being on hurricane patrol for a year in the North Atlantic.

specialize in small cast/single reader long fiction so I only compete against other podcasts of novels in that form.

Podiobooks rules. It's still the best way I know to find an audience for longer works in any genre.

Ignore the trade-pub narratives about how little success indies enjoy.

More and more of my audio fans are asking for audiobook versions - files without the intro/outro/etc that go into the podcasts. More and more want them from Audible.

I can write three novels in the time it takes to write one novella. I'm probably not going to go with that form again.
