Some of you told me I’ve got a voice meant for reading aloud. So I decided to try something: I sat down with a mic (and an Acorn Brew) and read Chapter 1 of The Stinkwater Escapee out loud—just as I imagine it in my head.
It’s raw. It’s homegrown. It’s got meows. And yes, it’s 100% me.
✨ There’s a quick feedback poll at the end if you’d like to hear more Big Al.
📝What I’d love from you:
This is an experiment. Before I record more chapters, I want to know:
→ Do you want more of this?
→ Would you want it as a regular free feature, or something bonus-tier later on?
→ What kind of narration do you like—straightforward, or with character voices and sound?

Your feedback helps me decide whether to keep going with audio chapters — and what style works best for you.

Thanks again for reading (and listening). It’s an honour to share this odd, swampy, slightly dangerous world with you.
