In this solo episode, Mark plays clips from a couple of other podcasts, shares some personal updates related to his own audiobook products, and goes neck deep into his thoughts about audiobooks for authors.

The episode is sponsored by Findaway Voices.

Some of the topics Mark covers in this episode include:

  • How much he still loves the 1987 song “Somewhere Down The Crazy River” by Robbie Robertson
  • The fact that he is moving forward with producing the audiobook version of A Canadian Werewolf in New York and the short story This Time Around (both from his “Canadian Werewolf” series)
  • A FreeBooksy promo he recently ran on an erotic horror title called Something Wicked (Nocturnal Screams 7)
  • A BookBub promo he ran with his pal Sean Costello for the book Here After
  • A new computer synth version of his book The 7 P’s of Publishing Success that is now available and why he is pricing this version at 99 cents
The VocoCraft Version of The 7 P’s of Publishing Success
  • A sample from his new VocoCraft computer synth version of the book, as well as the same sample from the human self-narrated version of the book
  • The recent Public Lending Right Program check he received for the appearance of his books in Canadian libraries and why authors in Canada, the UK, Australia and other countries that have a PLR program should take advantage of that
Mark’s recent cheque from the Public Lending Right Program
  • His recent guest appearance on The Sell More Books Show with Jim Kukral (Mark stepped in at the last minute to replace co-host Bryan Cohen who was ill)
  • A short clip from Episode 255 of The Sell More Books Show talking about a new “choose your own audio” project from Amazon
  • A couple of clips from The Creative Penn podcast episode 417, where Joanna interviewed Will Dages from Findaway Voices
  • The reveal of the new Voices Share program from Findaway Voices
