Podium Expands Audiobook Distribution


Podium Entertainment has recently announced newly expanded audiobook distribution onto additional leading audiobook platforms.

What this means to you, our readers, is that Fenian House audiobooks will now be available not only on the Audible platform, but also on other major audiobook pklatforms including Spotify, Apple Books, Storytel, and Audiobooks.com, as well as in local libraries via OverDrive and hoopla.

That last is of particular note, as it means that for the first time, you will be able to go to your local library and check out audiobooks of the Stardock Trilogy (and soon, Agency as well). The Podium audiobook edition of Agency is currently in narrator selection.

KDP Virtual Voiced WHAT?


Amazon has just announced a beta for “KDP Audiobooks with Virtual Voice.”

KDP will automatically generate an audiobook for you from your eligible Amazon-published book, “voiced” by generative AI.

We would like to issue a brief official statement on this:

Fenian House Publishing will never use this service.

Period.

Why? Because it takes paid work away from actual human voice actors.

Printing error!


It came to my attention today that due to an overlooked page style error, the print edition of Bearing Gifts does not have page numbers in the Post-It Notes section. I have uploaded a corrected manuscript. The error is present only in Bearing Gifts.

Six copies—possibly seven—have been sold containing this error, and I have one additional such copy on my bookshelf (plus two author's proofs). If you own one of those copies: Congratulations! You now own a rarity.
