Welcome back to the Bookcast episode 62. In this episode I talked about my goodreads challenge goals and discussed my current work-in-progress - a thriller fiction story I am writing for an online fanfiction community. While developing the plot and character of an unstable female protagonist has been an engaging creative process, I am anxious about finishing on schedule, given the pace required. If it isn't the consequences of my actions coming back to bite me in the butt!
Additional topics covered included recent developments in the audiobook publishing space. I shared my thoughts on Amazon's new AI narrated offerings and how returning titles negatively impacts author and narrator finances.
As an added note: there will be NO episode next Saturday, November 11th due to work travel.

Amazon announces AI narration for audio- wanna fight this? BUY AUDIO DIRECT FROM AUTHORS or buy audio at retailers and talk up the production in reviews/ on social media and DON'T RETURN THEM. That return comes out of our revenue. It doesn't hurt Amazon; it hurts authors.
