Apparently once you narrate a book you count as a narrator by IMDB standards. So do I add my info there or wait for some bored soul to do it? (PS. Audio book is out.) #writer
Fellow author recruiting fellow vict--I mean, friend! To go in blind on my audio book. You're both going to be deaf by the time you're done. Anyone else want a listen (there's a sample)? It's available everywhere. You were warned. 😆

Thank you for picking up my audio book. Not sure why anyone would love to listen to my beautifully grating voice for 6 hours but... enjoy?

I was starting to question whether going wide with my Beautiful Dreamer book was a bad idea. Sure, missing out on the lucrative 0.99 stuff...but looking at the KDP for my trilogy is just...eck. To say the least...it doesn't feel like a bad decision.

Why did Audible decide to call it a "bounty" link? Couldn't they have called it a referral or something? Sure, getting people to listen to my book is a manhunt. But "bounty"? audible.com/pd/B0FHC27SQF/…

I'm sure most people don't believe anything on social media these days. When I said I'm getting a 9' tall bronze statue of my circa 2000 Pokemon (Fakemon) OC... I wasn't lying. ETA. Fall 2025. Thank you, Firebird Bronze, for working on my project!
Foundry: Would you mind if we update our social media with WIPs of your custom 9' tall (Pokemon OC) statue? Me: OMG! Yes! Also me: I'm not ready to admit I'm a total weeb! Me 2.0: Own your weeb. Own it!!! Also me 2.0: You spent how much on what?!
Sure. Let's do feet pics. Does this make you want to read one of my books? (Scene from Duality of Forces. Photo manipulation. Model is moi.)
I don't know. Try adding feet pics?
Seriously, how do some people get 1000 likes for "I just got a book deal!" and me telling you all that "I just made a whole audio book by myself!" results in crickets.
Acquaintance: You released an audiobook! I love them. Especially if they're done by famous male narrators. Who did you get? Me: *A not-famous female author who narrated her 1st person fiction book with a female MC* How to say you don't read my genre without saying it...

Author looking to justify her Amazon boycott here. Would be nice if you took a look. Thanks!
Smashwords book sale is still on. Beautiful Dreamer by Vanessa L Krauss is half off. I would love to see some people pick it up there. Otherwise, it proves that going wide was a waste of time...

Made an audiobook, and while a time-consuming process it is one of the least-competitive ways to showcase one's books. Example.
Screw it. I will just do everything myself, the writing, the editing, the covers, the audio...everything. Costs me nothing but time and it's not like trad publishing would have done much better. #writer

Meanwhile...on Audible. Can we say #11? (Psst. Beautiful Dreamer audiobook is out August 1st.)

OMG!!! My audiobook just passed Audible's checks on the first try. Audiobook out August 1st. Pre-order is live now!!! I'm an official audiobook narrator and author!


Wild copy of my book discovered.
Well, that was quite fast. Good quality print, as well. (the "professional destroyer of software"-part got me good🤣) I'll give it a read and a review on se Amazon 👍
New talent. I got bruised from a sock. Which is almost as dumb as when I got a papercut under my armpit.
