The Hyperloop will, if built, cushion its train on a very, very thin air-cushion. Dunno about Shweeb.

There can be no realistic expectation of privacy in today's world. A longing for it, perhaps, but not a reasonable expectation of it.

The Jewish Elbow
 
A Jewish grandmother is giving directions to her grown grandson who is
coming to visit with his wife.

"You come to the front door of the apartments. I am in apartment 301 . There
is a big panel at the front door. With your elbow, push button 301. I will
buzz you in. Come inside and the elevator is on the right. Get in, and with
your elbow, push 3rd Floor. When you get out, I'm on the left. With your
elbow, hit my doorbell. OK?"

"Grandma, that sounds easy, but, why am I hitting all these buttons with my
elbow? ........

"What . .. . .. .. You're coming empty handed?"

congratulations on your novel!

Oh! Thanks!

If you want an ebook copy, you can get one for $0.90 USD here: williambryanmiller.com

If you want a paperback and are in the US, I can get it for you cheaper than you can buy it yourself on Amazon.

Sadly, the novel doesn't distinguish itself by using any of the words mentioned in the link referenced in my OP...

Oblivion, I'm very excited that you've taken on this project. I know you're afraid my confidence in you is premature, but I think you'll prove it was well-placed. I really appreciate the spirit of DonationCoder that this exemplifies: people giving of themselves and their talents in coming together for the benefit of larger projects. I think this is rare in today's age.

From what I gather from mouser, three things are of critical importance:

(1) A good quality microphone (on its way)
(2) A very quiet place (WhisperRoom quality)
(3) Listen to some existing audio books to pick up the nuances/tricks/gestalt of it.

The ACX website talks alot in "Narrator help" about pacing. Reading slowly enough that slower listeners can "keep up" mentally, but not too slow.

I know you'll do a fantastic job. Can't believe how DC has leaped into this project with me. I'm very grateful.

You could also release what you have as a novella, with succeeding novellas down the road. 30k to 40k word each, maybe...

Great interview by Goodreads with Kim Stanley Robinson. It's chiefly about his new novel, Shaman (the cover of the book is beautiful, IMHO).

Anyone know someone who organizes book blog tours? I'm not interested in anything pricey (in fact, free would be ideal). I also don't mind if it's a small book blog tour (6-10 blog-stops as opposed to 15+).
