Got The Unraptured Blues? Cheer Up With Some Finished Audio Fiction!

No, I did not stand in the path of totality last week. The cloud cover in my planned destinations—all 16+ hours away—didn't give me confidence. So I stayed in Phoenix and watched the partial. I'm now making plans to travel to Spain in 2026 to watch the next total eclipse, rather than wait until the event occurs in the States again in 2045!

I've no new supporters to thank this week. Boo. Compound that with my finalized tax returns, which have both my wife and my accountant really suggesting I get a job. Did I mention boo? Fortunately, I have been working with a few fiction creators, big and small, on some strategic initiatives. I have special rates for indies and non-profits, so if you're considering hiring a consultant, let's talk for 30 minutes for free to see if I can help. Or if you have a spare $24.99 lying around, that's all it takes to become an Individual Supporter of The End for an entire year.

By the end of the weekend, I hope to have a new article posted that unveils, with definitive proof, which podcast listening apps work the best—and worst—for fiction podcasts. It'll probably ruffle some feathers, though I'm working hard to take out all of my normal snark. A feat that is really, really hard for someone as snarky as me.

Let's get into it, shall we?
