Had a blast at LitRPG Con! Get this, Jeff Hays saw my name badge and said, "hey, I've watched "BellTube"" Fun stuff. This week's video will be my top 10 books so far of 2026. LMK in comments if you also want my top 10 fails. We are still raising startup for bellworksaudio.com too if you haven't checked the site out yet! We have some STELLAR voice talents eager to work with us. Top tier.

Hi - This coming weekend I'll be meeting and networking with many outstanding voice actors as we build out our talent roster for BellWorks Audio. I'm on 2 panels and am the moderator for a 3rd. (in Denver at LitRPG Con). Thus, no video this week, but absolutely would love support for the new company and you can check it out at bellworksaudio.com (Support starts at about 5 bucks, and everything counts!)

I'm proud that I'm writing a publishing rights agreement contract that forbids me from using AI for narration or art design. I'm legally forbidding myself. Authors and narrators deserve it. If you'd like to learn more or to support, go to bellworksaudio.com
