I may not make a dime from it but I will always be intensely proud, both of the book and all the work that went into getting this far;
I’m really pleased to get to this point, look forward to doing the next book, and, if I’m lucky, meeting up with my fellow narrators eventually.

I sought out coaching from an experienced narrator, listened carefully to each lesson, and learned as much from the lessons that I flopped in as I did from the ones that went well (thank you, @sppresents.bsky.social);

It’s in a category I have enjoyed all my life and hope to read in professionally;
It’s my first book but will not sound like it because of the fifty-plus projects I did as volunteer work that came before it;
