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.

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

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."

I had to decide if I wanted to be known as a writer or a reader. I chose writer.

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

My books are offered through Podiobooks.com and the iTunes Music Store as free audio downloads. I don't sell them.

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.
