Amazon's Kindle app now offers cheapo audiobook creation by using Virtual Voice. I decided to try it out on a collection of short stories which really wasn't a good book for narration. Since it was free to produce (except for my time), I decided to try it out. The result is Mixed Bag 2. The link is below. Feel free to listen to the sample to get an idea of what Virtual Voice sounds like. It's just one of the 30 or so voices that can be applied. Since this was a bunch of short stories, I used lots of the voices. The voice can be selected for each chapter (or story in this case). The voices are good, but they lack that creative, artistic ability the narrators of my other books offer.
Mixed Bag 2: Supersized
A little science fiction, a bit of fantasy, plenty of humor, and some really shocking horror. These are tales to suit any mood. All stories in this book were previously published in on-line or print publications. The author is re-issuing the stories since an editor somewhere liked them enough to publish them in the first place.
This book contains all stories found in "Mixed Bag" plus twelve more. Double the size, double the fun. Approx. 36K words. Fish Story - Science Fiction The Vision - Horror/Fantasy Chilpequin 22 Miles - Fantasy Coward - Horror Heather's Pain - LitFic The Delegate - SciFi No Deposit, No Return - LitFic Taxman - Humor The Country Faire - Horror Fair's Fair - Fantasy If You Could See Her - Romance Ma 'Yote and Her Cubs - Nostalgia LitFic Invasion - Horror The Cursed Valley - Fantasy Shasta Lake - LitFic Big Bessie's Place - LitFic The Hunter - Horror The Great Writing Competition - SciFi A Good, Honest Dog - Non-fic A Visit to Potter's Field - Fantasy Extraordinary Rendition - LitFic Jonathan Swift Finds Nemo - Alterate History Lemons - Children Neighborly - LitFic A Grab Bag of Drabbles
