Bit of a milestone today.
It's actually a bit more than that, since ACX doesn't track the couple of books I've done for a flat fee rather than a royalty share (including the splendid book by our Ricochet friend Mark J. Boone, Faith, Reason, and Beyond Reason). But it's nice when the meter clicks over. As it says, my first (awful) Audible book was released in 2013. I can't recommend it, because it was a self-published vanity title, but it did help me get attention from real publishers. I am now wrapping up my 91st title and have a contract waiting for #92. I need to feel like I'm doing something worthwhile, so what started out as a side hustle is now saving my life post-retirement.
As always, if any of my Audible titles strikes your fancy, PM me and I'll slip you a promo code for a free review copy. I love to share those.
My favorite of the recent books has to be Team of Giants. It would be hard to write a boring book about Theodore Roosevelt, William Randolph Hearst, "Fighting Joe" Wheeler, Richard Harding Davis and Stephen Crane. In this case, the author, Matthew Bernstein, is a gifted storyteller. If you have a car trip coming up or want something for jogging, hit me up for a copy.

Does Audible let you search by narrator? I gave it a quick try and had no luck.

Congrats on your 40K! It would be great to see a list when you hit 100 titles. My favorites in order would be The Road to Concord, Abraham Lincoln, and The Lost State of Franklin.
I think I have been listening to too many of your books though. On vacation I was reading the paper version of 1776. I started laughing to myself because I was reading it in your voice.

Those are favorites of mine too. I love history that we weren't taught in school.
