BTS: A peek at creating an AI Narrated Audiobook

How curious are you? Would you like to see just a few minutes of what sort of work goes into making a digitally narrated audiobook?

That’s what I’m sharing today in this video.

Currently, I’m working on getting Waking to Mr. Darcy ready to share on YouTube (and to list on Kobo), so I thought it was a great time to let you see behind the curtain and get a peek at the time and effort that I put into creating audiobooks, vignettes, and digitally narrated blog posts. (The process of editing is the same for them all. 🙂 )

I hope you enjoy this look into #mywritinglife.

Projects: The done, almost done, almost almost done, not started, and cancelled

Today, I’m updating you on several of the projects I’ve got on the go at the moment. I’ve also stuck a short personal health update in there (it’s a good thing) at the top of the video. This one is a little bit longer than some Wednesday posts at just over 17.5 minutes. Hopefully, you’ll still find it an enjoyable update to listen to.

We’re talking books. My books: Other Pens and the best grand gestures.

The first two books in my Other Pens series are currently free, so I thought it’d be a great time to talk a little bit about that series and which books have the best grand gestures in them — all without giving too many spoilers, that is. 😉

Enjoy!

(And let me know if you agree with my assessment of the grand gestures in the comments.)


Don’t Judge a Book by Its Page Count

I had some book mail arrive this week, and it gave me this lovely visual to illustrate how the page count and thickness of a book doesn’t always indicate how long the actual story is when compared to the book next to it. I get into the details in this video. I also share how I’m guilty of judging a book by its page count.

Enjoy!

I mention my fledgling Etsy store in this video. You can find that at this link: https://leeniebbooks.etsy.com/

It still only has one book in it. I’d love to know if there are any books that you think I should put at the top of my “add to Etsy store” list.

And as always, you can find all my books and current book promotions on my website, https://leeniebrown.com
