Unity, Volume 2: A Speculative Anthology
Book launch
On June 12, I published this amazing anthology by Penned in the City contributors. The book contains fiction, poetry, and art, and all the proceeds are going toward Doctors Without Borders.

Some of you know it has always been a dream of mine to include an Audible book. I haven’t had the time or know-how to produce one, but Amazon recently added a feature where you can create one using a Kindle book. The process is simple and fast.
So guess what I did? I created one. That is the only part of the book’s production where I used A.I. I am not a fan of A.I. I hire a cover designer and craft the interior of all the press’ books; I have a phenomenal copyeditor Elane Marie Carnegie-Padgett. But, this time, this time, I used A.I.
And I have to say. the Audio book sounds amazing! The pacing and voice of the narration are good, and I fufilled a dream I’ve had for years.
Still, a friend of mine cautioned me that I may get 1-star reviews because the Audio is computer-generated, but hey, I’ll take those reviews.
What are your thoughts on the matter? Should I not use the feature to create Audio books?
