Working on the cover for my upcoming "1st revised edition" and the audiobook I'm almost done recording.
Thoughts? I think it's pretty good progress for a DIY cover.

Seems folks are going to boycott the #Eurovision Song Contest because of Israel being allowed to compete. I get it.
25 nations boycotted the 1980 Olympics in Moscow over the Russian invasion of Afghanistan. And that solved the problem. The Russians left... [checks notes]... 9 years later.

I've recorded 31 out of 40 chapters for the audiobook version of _Hell on $5 A Day_. I still like the professional sound I get from converting them to a different voice with @elevenlabs-io.bsky.social, but now that @dhlawrencexvii.bsky.social put it in my head, I'm finding charm in the originals.

TFW your CGM alarms because your blood sugar is < 70. You go for a second opinion with a finger stick because you just finished breakfast, but the battery on your manual glucometer is too low, so you spend crucial minutes fighting anti-theft packaging to get a new one.

My question is how can indie authors get 3 copies on those shelves in the first place?
I've gone all-in on being an independent novelist, relaunching my first novel in January and launching my second in July.
But the marketing plan is 100% direct-to-consumer. Brick and mortar placements are HARD.

I once asked a bookseller at a large indie store how many people would have to buy a book for it to get the attention of the store buyer and cause an additional order and they said: Three.
I see some book piracy discourse, and, to make a positive argument in favor of buying books, your marginal ability to influence what books get published and support the careers of writers you like is massive compared to most other forms of media.

I can’t remember the year, but probably Jr. High (now called “Middle School”), but a male teacher — unfortunately can’t remember his name — read us ‘The Count of Monte Cristo’ (by Alexander Dumas, released in chapters from 1844 to 1846). He did it yearly. Took all semester, as I recall. Mr. Jensen?
