audiobook REVIEWS
What Has Been Said
“Ain’t No Messiah”
This audiobook is well produced, the voice acting by Ric Chetter is superb. Readers or listeners beware: there is profanity, violence, some sexual situations and abuse in many flavors. It’s disturbing – and that’s what makes this story so enticing. Ain’t No Messiah is written and narrated in first person by the main character Joshua Campbell. This is another ‘dark’ and thought-provoking tale, a suspenseful, religious thriller. It is not a joyful, inspiring account of this man’s life.

“Shadows”
Well Done! I thought it was very imaginative, expressed clear ideas and the author made his characters very believable and easy to see. Where he got the idea from, I can’t even imagine but it’s unique and scary. Great listen for entertainment!

“The Sideways 8”
First off, the narrator was great. He really did an awesome job switching between the characters. Really impressive and fun to listen to.
It takes place in the year 2053 and depicts a very realistic version of our future – a crumbling society controlled by powerful mega-corporations, and rapidly advancing technologies enabled by Artificial Intelligence no one really understands. The book includes all the elements for a fast-paced, action-packed story that keeps you wondering what is going to happen next.

YOU Have Questions?
I Have Answers
How much does an audition cost?
An audition costs you nothing. Keep in mind I will only provide about 5 – 7 minutes of an audiobook. An additional passage is provided upon request.
Do you charge a flat fee for an audiobook?
The rate you will pay is based on a Per Finished Hour (PFH) basis. If the final runtime is 6 hours, you will pay for those six hours.
What is your cancellation policy?
Part of the production process, should you hire me, involves you getting the first 15 minutes or so of your audiobook. If the direction or sound is not what you were hoping for, we can terminate the contract.
What are you thoughts on AI?
I do not use Artificial Intelligence nor do I condone it for voice work or for the creation of a book. It just doesn’t look or sound right, among many other issues.
Is your finished product ready for distribution?
Yes! Unless directed by an outside producer or distributor, all audio files are edited, mastered, and ready for sale.
Are you available for promotional assistance?
Yes and at no additional cost. I can be available for appearances on podcasts and other places to help promote your audiobook. You will have to set those up yourself.
