The Pineapple Girl - Audio Book Now Available!

Image
  A quick question for you. What do you think is the longest process of getting an audio book online, is it: a) conceiving, writing, editing the story? b) recording, narrating, editing the audio files? c) getting it to fit the specifications of ACX - digital distributor? The answer: C! a) I wrote/edited The Pineapple Girl in two days. b) I recorded it in one day, edited in another. Added music, made more edits, so it was a three day process. c) It took me almost two weeks to get it 'approved' by ACX, aka the company that is taking 60% of my profits, for doing basically nothing, except hosting my book. So, if you're wondering, I'll never use ACX again. Oh, and by the way, they own the rights to my book for 7 years. Lovely. Oh, and to get it on ACX, I first had to publish it as an eBook, through KDP, giving them more % of my $.  You can buy it here:  https://www.amazon.ca/Pineapple-Girl-Studio-Mike-ebook/dp/B092L4K6DJ/ref=tmm_kin_swatch_0?_encoding=UTF8&qid=161980381
