Love & Darts - Audio
We had an audience of one in mind for this project: an opal miner in Australia. I don't know how much it matters, what changes in the delivery or the voice--likely nothing.
But while we were recording Love & Darts, I thought of him, that man in a red tee shirt, tan suede steel-toed boots, and jorts. In my mind he kept drilling, chipping away, shoving hopeful pieces into his pocket, and then he'd lean back, in some floodlit hole, to rest for a moment and listen.
I would love to say that we've conquered the new publishing model, these home computers and Amazonian websites. However, I will not. What has happened is that Mike and I gutted our way through to the end of the thing. He dealt with most of it: the editing, the ACX stuff. My friend Gin made a cover from the original ebook cover designed by Ryan Bradley. We all kind of foundered our way from one thing to the next until all the little tasks were finished.
So. It's ready.
