I do plan to have audiobooks!

Yes, I will have an audiobook for each book...

Why don't I have even one after I've published 8 books?

Simply put I don't have the funds, and up until recently,
hiring someone or doing it yourself were the only options.

Long version:

    When I first researched audiobooks, the most cost effective way was to do it myself. When I started that project in May of 2021, I made it complicated by altering my own voice to different pitches and having voices for each character. I am also quite busy managing the countless other tasks of being a self published author who can't afford to hire help (besides editors).

    This year (2024), I've found out about ACX a website where authors work with narrators to make audiobooks for a royalty share through amazon/audible or they pay up front for the cost. I'm still researching and hoping to get something started within the next year, but I also feel like I would be "wasting" a narrators time, since my books aren't popular...  I also want to go wide with the audiobook, so I'd need to pay a narrator up front and THAT would require me to run a kickstarter per book and I really don't want to do that either. >_<

    That being said, the author read project is on hold indefinitely. 

WHY???

Because I had 25 chapters read before I revised several time,
so I would need to reread everything from the prologue all the way through
and I just don't have the time for it. 

Thank you for your patience as I research and overthink
