Lightning Spliced: LIVE…kinda
With minimal advertising, I've managed 67 subscribers to the audio version of Lightning Spliced even with the caveat that it's a sample while I work to query agents.
I've been into acting since kindergarden–I remember waiting to go on stage dressed as a flower in Little Red Riding Hood. Despite how cold it was, how my socks scraped the sidewalk and rocks scraped my feet, I remember thinking, This is it. This is what I want to do. Acting is not very lucrative so I turned to (haha) writing. My other issue with acting was that plays are BORING. Have you read Our Town? WTF is that. No, just NO.
As much as I miss the rush of being on stage where every mistake counts, I have a lot more fun with audio projects I've voiced online. There is no length limit so I can explore hours of character depth, there's no mainstream genre to cow to so I can chant out some magic powers. Lightning Spliced is a blast to voice. When I wrote it, I would always act out the dialog in my head. The first draft was jammed with italics, bold, and underlining because I knew the exact inflections I wanted the characters to use and I was determined to force those on my readers. Way easier to do that via the podcast ;) I really hope I can work with an agent and publisher who will let me voice my own audiobooks.
Enough gushing, chapter 2 just went live! Enjoy ^_^ and if you DO enjoy, please spread the link and promos around so we can conquer the world. um. I mean. Get a bazillion subscribers. And then….we shall have cake.

You are amazing. Well played madam :) I heard about you on Super Number One. If you want a promo play, lemme know. I can probably throw a listener or two your way.

Thank you so much!! I haven’t had a chance to listen yet, but I’ve heard great things about Smart Bomb. You rock for reminding me about Real Life Comics (:
