Out today on Audible & iTunes: Out of Whack by KN Gould.

Had a blast narrating this eerie, slow-burn suspense—equal parts unsettling and impossible to put down. If haunted houses, strange neighbors, and creeping dread are your thing… you’re in for a ride.
Cover of the audiobook Out of Whack by KN Gould, narrated by Dana P. Rowe. The image has a dark, ominous, sepia-toned color scheme. On the right stands a weathered, abandoned farmhouse with broken windows and a sagging porch, shrouded in eerie shadow. A flock of black birds takes flight above the house, adding to the unsettling atmosphere. On the left, a lone silhouette of a man walks along a dirt path through tall, dry grass toward the house. Dark, swirling storm clouds loom in the sky, creating a sense of tension and foreboding. The title “Out of Whack” is prominently displayed in large white serif font at the top center. Below, the credits read: “Written by KN Gould” and “Narrated by Dana P. Rowe” in a matching serif typeface. #AudiobookNarrator #Audiobook #SuspenseFiction #HorrorFans #IndieAuthors #BaynamBooksPress #DarkFiction

Well, that's fun! 🤓
A colorful, comic-style infographic explains the correct order of adjectives in English using a quirky mnemonic: "Orange skies and shady clouds on my pillow." Each word stands for a category of adjectives: Orange = Opinion Skies = Size And = Age Shady = Shape Clouds = Colour On = Origin My = Material Pillow = Purpose The poster highlights that using adjectives in this order creates natural-sounding English sentences. At the bottom, there’s an example sentence: “The beautiful, large, ancient, round, red, Egyptian stone bowl was on the table.” The overall style mimics retro comic book art with bold lettering, colorful blocks, and a pop-art palette. #audiobooks #AudioBook #VoiceActors #authors #booksky #WritingCommunity #indieAuthors #narrating #narrator #grammarhack #englishwriting #storytelling #editing

Delighted to share that Fathers of the Bride is now available on Audible and iTunes.

Marshall Thornton’s writing is a joy to narrate—funny, heartfelt, & full of charm. I had a great time bringing these characters to life.

Hope you’ll give it a listen.

“Things native English speakers know, but don’t know we know.” Confession time 🤓 — I’m a total language geek. I love this stuff.
ALT TXT: A tweet by Matthew Anderson (@MattAndersonBBC) reads: “Things native English speakers know, but don’t know we know:” Below the tweet is a photo of a book excerpt explaining adjective order rules in English. The text states that adjectives must follow a set sequence: opinion, size, age, shape, color, origin, material, purpose, then noun. It gives the example: “a lovely little old rectangular green French silver whittling knife.” The text warns that breaking this order makes sentences sound chaotic and odd, even to native speakers. The excerpt humorously concludes that, because size comes before color, “green great dragons” can’t exist. The tweet shows 48,848 retweets and 70,041 likes. #narrating #authors #booksky #audiobooks #mystery

Enjoying some quality time in Ohio with my son Landon. Family moments are the best. 😊 #Family #HappyPlace ❤️
A warm, joyful photo of two men sitting closely together in an indoor setting with a wooden floor and folding chairs in the background. The man on the left is bald with a well-groomed salt-and-pepper beard, bright eyes, and a wide smile showing his teeth. He is wearing a dark gray turtleneck sweater. His left arm is wrapped around the shoulders of the man on the right. The man on the right has a full dark beard, a friendly smile, and is wearing a greenish-brown flat cap and a red and navy plaid flannel shirt over a black t-shirt. They are both looking at the camera with expressions of happiness and warmth, conveying a strong bond and shared joy.

Laryngitis for a narrator & coach? 🗣️🔇 Ughhhh...Universe, you’re hilarious. 😅 A week of whispers has reminded me that rest *can* be productive. 💡 And apparently, "finishing the year strong" means lots of naps. 🛌✨ #winning 🙌🏆✨

Anyone else getting reminders to rest instead of rush? 🙋‍♂️✨
White text on a black background reads: "This is your reminder to stop stressing to 'finish the year off strong.' You can finish it off grateful, relaxed, slowly, peacefully. The idea that we always need to 'be doing' and 'achieving' only creates cycles of anxiety. Rushing will not solve your problems. Rest will." #narrating #narrator #audiobooks #AudioBook #VoiceActors #authors #booksky #WritingCommunity 🌈📚💙📚 #AudiobookNarrator
