Milestone

My personal odometer clicked over this afternoon, and I'm sharing it more out of a sense of wonder than anything else. I must be coming out of a lot of car radio speakers.

My first audiobook was released on Audible in August 2011, so next month it'll be 13 years. I'm recording my 86th book at the moment. I have been very lucky to establish a working relationship with some fine publishers, most especially University Press Audiobooks, an imprint of Redwood Audiobooks. They contract with colleges and universities to get their various publications narrated, and since I love to do histories and biographies, the fit is a good one.

I'll be retiring from my day job as a tech writer soon, and narrating audiobooks will no longer be a side gig. It's good to be able to have a craft that isn't physically demanding and keeps me mentally active. With a life full of books, kids and cats, I am truly blessed.
