It’s Friday again, already? Anybody else feel like they can’t tell time anymore? 8 pm seems to take me by surprise every damn day.
This week’s update is all over the road but you’ll find a gem that’s just for you from my daily blogging on my author site, AllThatChazz.com.
Behold!
Enjoy your audio sample of Citizen Second Class
Audiobook creation can be prohibitively expensive and time-consuming. I plan to expand my work on audiobooks later this year. I’m sitting in my blanket fort/studio as I write this. It’s my world HQ for DIY audiobook production.
Though the audiobook process is lengthy, there’s no need to wait to start using audio to hook readers and get them eager for more.
Try out this recording from Citizen Second Class. It’s just 17 minutes long, including the maracas.
What I talk about with readers
Wary of the newsletter grind and less than excited about sales funnels? Me, too. I’d prefer genuine engagement with excited readers. Here’s how.
Engaging with readers doesn’t have to be a chore or cut into your writing time significantly. I love it, especially because I can curate my crowd. In this article, I talk about how I stay in touch with core readers daily. It’s not a chore at all. It’s a fun, creative outlet wherein I stay in touch with great people who dig what I do. I like them, too. I still do newsletters, but not nearly so often.
Plus? If you struggle to figure out what to say to your readers, I have some ideas on how to handle that.

A Review of Netflix’s Into the Night
I take downtime through the week, too. This is my review of some bold Belgian sci-fi, available on Netflix. (Also known as: What the heck to do when the sun is trying to kill you?)
Why you can’t focus and how to fix that
Many of us are having trouble focusing now. Gee, I wonder why. Don’t worry. Help is on the way with this video. Focus!
Easy and The Night Man Cover Tweak
With one minor cover tweak and the addition of a subtitle, I’m making it more clear what I’m offering my audience when they browse The Night Man.
Even better? I did it without losing the powerful cover image I really wanted to keep.
