My works are a direct response to the typical space opera. I grew tired of always reading about how the people with power, with agency, get involved in huge sweeping arcs of stories. I wanted stories that dealt with real people, people I could relate to.

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.

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

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.

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 only read on my phone and the whole "let's see if we can get people to do it" idea seems less "wouldn't it be cool if we could get people to do it" and more "what else would people do."
