I got an email today from ACX (the audiobook production platform) to say they are unilaterally changing the contract terms for how royalties are paid.
Authors need to opt into the new plan by the end of the year. Or else they will not receive any further payments. And neither will their narrators.
Surely this stretches the meaning of opt in.
They suggest that if narrators want to continue to be paid for their work, we should harass our authors to sign up for the new plan.
Que sera, sera. I'm not playing cop for ACX. (The books earn pennies at best anyway.)
When I say that I am no longer actively narrating audiobookx because the industry is a trashfire... *gestures at everything*
*Before some reply guy shows up to say, "You should sue!"... hahah, no I should not.
If you're an audiobook listener: support your narrators while you can.
If you're an author who has used ACX in the past, make sure to update your contract.
If you're a narrator, good luck.
If you want to buy my books while I'm still getting paid, you can find them here:

Adversarial noise is wild.
I use #ChatGPT to create or edit eBook & audiobook covers for my own personal collection. Nothing commercial; nothing I'd ever pay for.
But I do like a cohesive design across a series & I dislike it when the cover style changes mid-series. Or when the audiobook cover isn't square or has the #Audible tramp stamp on it.
Behold the eBook cover for A Change of Plans by Dennis E. Taylor, the official audiobook cover & the results of asking ChatGPT to create a better one.

News Summary: Audible Opens ‘Bookless Bookstore’ Pop-Up in New York’s Bowery
My literary heart is, and has always been, torn between two worlds. On the one hand is the sensory delight of the dark, dusty library that started with an almost sacred room in my parents' house and has brought me to and kept me in the myriad libraries of Oxford, where I've spent four decades losing myself in physical text. But there is also nothing quite like the electricity of a live show. Which is why I spent more than a decade running spoken word shows, and why anything that brings the book to a live audience will grab my attention.

My Secret Obsession: Dark Romance Audiobooks & The Voices That Make Me Swoon
What’s something most people don’t know about you?
📌Disclaimer: Please note that if you click on any of the links and make a purchase, I will be receiving a small commission at NO extra cost to you📌
What’s Something Most People Don’t Know About Me?
If you asked Chat Ludlow, the commanding king of the dark Fae and richest man on Earth, what most people don’t know about him, he’d probably smirk and say, “Everything. They only see what I let them.”
That, my friends, is what I’m aiming for here—a little mystery, a little intrigue, and a lot of fun.
So, what’s something most people don’t know about me?
Well, I’m not just a dark romance enthusiast—oh no. I’ve got layers, much like Chat’s intricate plans to make Belle his forever (cue the swoon).
My Secret Obsession? Dark Romance Audiobooks 🎧
Yup, you read that right. While I live for crafting my own sizzling stories, I’ve got another obsession that’s just as intense: dark romance audiobooks. And not just any narrators will do—no, no.
My go-tos are the deliciously deep voices of Aiden Snow and Teddy Hamilton.
There’s something about the way they bring the tension, passion, and raw emotion of a story to life that keeps me hooked for hours.
Think of it as the Chat Ludlow experience—dangerous, seductive, and oh-so-intoxicating. Much like Belle, I can’t help but swoon every time those voices take over my headphones.
Just like how Chat’s deep, commanding voice sends Belle into a fluster, audiobooks narrated by these legends have the power to take any romance to the next level.
If you’re not already obsessed, trust me—you’re missing out on the ultimate audio romance experience.
Why Audiobooks? Because They Let You Escape.
Life, much like the worlds Chat and Belle navigate, can get overwhelming.
Between work, life, and the chaos in between, we all need a way to escape. And for me, that’s pressing play on a dark romance audiobook and letting those velvety voices take me into another world.
It’s a bit like falling headfirst into one of Chat’s steamy power games—except this time, it’s Aiden Snow telling me all the dirty details, and I don’t have to lift a finger.
When you listen to Aiden Snow or Teddy Hamilton, it’s like having your very own Chat Ludlow right in your ear, whispering all those dangerously sweet nothings.
What’s not to love? You can dive into a world of Fae kings, ruthless CEOs, and unrelenting passion—all while folding your laundry (because multitasking is key, am I right?).
Everyone loves a good escape.
Whether you’re listening to a podcast or, like me, you’re falling for a brooding fictional alpha on audio, there’s something magical about immersive experiences.
What This Says About Me (and Chat)
Now, I know what you’re thinking—What does an obsession with dark romance audiobooks have to do with writing or being Chat Ludlow’s obsession?
Well, everything, actually. People expect you to be a certain way based on what you create, but there’s always more beneath the surface.
For example, Chat may come off as a dominant, ruthless man in control of everything, but underneath it all, he’s fiercely in love with Belle—someone who softens his edges and makes him vulnerable.
Similarly, when I’m not writing, I’m melting into the worlds created by my favourite narrators, where love, danger, and passion intertwine in a way that’s just so satisfying.
Your Turn: What Don’t People Know About You?
Okay, now it’s your turn. I’ve spilled my secret—dark romance audiobooks narrated by the dreamy Aiden Snow and Teddy Hamilton. Chef’s kiss, right?
What’s something about you that people don’t expect?
Do you also escape into stories when life gets overwhelming, or is there another secret passion you’re hiding?
Drop a comment below and tell me your favourite audiobook narrator or what surprising hobby you’re obsessed with.
You never know—you might just find a fellow audiobook addict (and I’ll definitely be here fangirling alongside you).

My Secret Obsession: Dark Romance Audiobooks & The Voices That Make Me Swoon
What’s something most people don’t know about you?

What’s Something Most People Don’t Know About Me?
If you asked Chat Ludlow, the commanding king of the dark Fae and richest man on Earth, what most people don’t know about him, he’d probably smirk and say, “Everything. They only see what I let them.”
That, my friends, is what I’m aiming for here—a little mystery, a little intrigue, and a lot of fun.
So, what’s something most people don’t know about me?
Well, I’m not just a dark romance enthusiast—oh no. I’ve got layers, much like Chat’s intricate plans to make Belle his forever (cue the swoon).
My Secret Obsession? Dark Romance Audiobooks 🎧
Yup, you read that right. While I live for crafting my own sizzling stories, I’ve got another obsession that’s just as intense: dark romance audiobooks. And not just any narrators will do—no, no.
My go-tos are the deliciously deep voices of Aiden Snow and Teddy Hamilton.
There’s something about the way they bring the tension, passion, and raw emotion of a story to life that keeps me hooked for hours.
Think of it as the Chat Ludlow experience—dangerous, seductive, and oh-so-intoxicating. Much like Belle, I can’t help but swoon every time those voices take over my headphones.
Just like how Chat’s deep, commanding voice sends Belle into a fluster, audiobooks narrated by these legends have the power to take any romance to the next level.
If you’re not already obsessed, trust me—you’re missing out on the ultimate audio romance experience.
Why Audiobooks? Because They Let You Escape.
Life, much like the worlds Chat and Belle navigate, can get overwhelming.
Between work, life, and the chaos in between, we all need a way to escape. And for me, that’s pressing play on a dark romance audiobook and letting those velvety voices take me into another world.
It’s a bit like falling headfirst into one of Chat’s steamy power games—except this time, it’s Aiden Snow telling me all the dirty details, and I don’t have to lift a finger.
When you listen to Aiden Snow or Teddy Hamilton, it’s like having your very own Chat Ludlow right in your ear, whispering all those dangerously sweet nothings.
What’s not to love? You can dive into a world of Fae kings, ruthless CEOs, and unrelenting passion—all while folding your laundry (because multitasking is key, am I right?).
Everyone loves a good escape.
Whether you’re listening to a podcast or, like me, you’re falling for a brooding fictional alpha on audio, there’s something magical about immersive experiences.
What This Says About Me (and Chat)
Now, I know what you’re thinking—What does an obsession with dark romance audiobooks have to do with writing or being Chat Ludlow’s obsession?
Well, everything, actually. People expect you to be a certain way based on what you create, but there’s always more beneath the surface.
For example, Chat may come off as a dominant, ruthless man in control of everything, but underneath it all, he’s fiercely in love with Belle—someone who softens his edges and makes him vulnerable.
Similarly, when I’m not writing, I’m melting into the worlds created by my favourite narrators, where love, danger, and passion intertwine in a way that’s just so satisfying.
Your Turn: What Don’t People Know About You?
Okay, now it’s your turn. I’ve spilled my secret—dark romance audiobooks narrated by the dreamy Aiden Snow and Teddy Hamilton. Chef’s kiss, right?
What’s something about you that people don’t expect?
Do you also escape into stories when life gets overwhelming, or is there another secret passion you’re hiding?
Drop a comment below and tell me your favourite audiobook narrator or what surprising hobby you’re obsessed with.
You never know—you might just find a fellow audiobook addict (and I’ll definitely be here fangirling alongside you).

Did I Finally Solve My Audiobook Woes? Well, Maybe.
Having been blogging for over 20 years, there are some topics I keep going back to somewhat regularly. One of these is audiobooks, something I’ve been hooked up on ever since my hospitalization, and that I still to this day commute, and fall asleep, with.
Like many other audiobook aficionados, I have a love-hate relationship with Audible — because if on one side it has a vast catalogue that is fairly accessible for its monthly due, their content is locked down hard, and you need to keep using your account to access it even after you (supposedly) bought it. As it turns out, this is only one of the reasons I hate Audible, and the other one is a bit more… complicated.
You see, I started reading Audible audiobooks when I owned an iPod Classic, which meant I bought my first one on the iTunes Store — and that meant they were DRM’d with a whole different method than Audible’s own. It also meant some of those I could more easily “liberate” and are still accessible to me some 14 years later, despite not owning a single Apple device anymore.
When I moved from an Apple-heavy ecosystem to owning an Android phone, I also decided to switch from buying those audiobooks on the iTunes Store, to buying them from Audible directly — it did help that at that point, you could still buy them from Audible and download them to your iPod; I do not remember just when they dropped that feature, but then again, iPods dithered into nothingness as iPhone took more of a center stage.
But at the time, neither Italy nor Ireland had their own Audible storefront, which meant that in both cases, my Audible subscription was with Audible dot-com, the USA storefront. I bought a whole lot of books over the years on that storefront! But when I moved to the London, for me to be able to pay in Pound Sterling, I had to switch to Audible dot-co-dot-uk, which has a different storefront. And the Audible app can only be logged into one storefront at a time. Which means that either I have access to my new books, or to my old books, but the two will never be combined. Reminds you of anything?
Now, there’s alternatives: libro.fm has its own membership, and while it doesn’t have as wide a catalogue as Audible (in particular it seems to lack BBC Radio 4 dramas), I have been eyeing switching to it for a while, but I have been underwhelmed with most of the Audiobooks apps I tried on Android, and Calibre hasn’t been holding up as a way to organize audiobooks.
But recently, in a frenzy of throwing everything I could at finding a way to organize more of my personal collections, I discovered Audiobookshelf! Though to be honest I discovered it while looking for a way to handle podcasts.
Aside: the reason why I went looking for a way to handle podcasts with a self-hosted web app is because the podcast client I have been using (AntennaPod) has no apparent way to backup the downloaded episodes – not in bulk at least – and my previous method to back those up, through Solid Explorer, stopped working as Android appears to have further locked down cross-apps data access. Conspiracy theorists would suggest that they’re doing this to block DRM liberation, I personally can see the security implications and while I’m incredibly annoyed about my broken workflow, I can see why this is happening.
While I find some of the implementation decisions around the software a bit odd, and not what I would do myself, I have to admit that setting it up was quite easy, and I’m now quite happy with the way it works out both in terms of collection handling, and streaming to my phone — no more filling up the phone with most of my sleep collection, since I can have it stream from the NAS, at least while I’m at home on the same network. I’m not going to comment on the… uh… not quite shared values exuded by the choice of items on the bookshelf on their homepage!
This is set up in an almost identical way as I set up Paperless NGX and Navidrome: the actual data (audiobooks) is stored on the NAS, which means I can add books to the library through a simple Samba share. That data is then shared with the usual VM via NFS on a host-only network, and the same reverse proxy has a new hostname for running Audiobookshelf itself.
It supports pretty much everything I need, and even solves the annoyingly old problem of building a single (M4B) file out of per-chapter mp3s, which are common for DRM-free audiobooks! The only thing I could still wish for if I wanted to find something unsolved, is a Matroska+Opus alternative to M4B — because I’d actually would love to see more viable fully open formats, even though I have effectively dropped off that part of the Free Software community over the past seven years or so.
So I guess I’m fairly happy I have now scratched this one itch in such a way that I don’t think I’ll need to worry about for quite a while longer. Actually two itches, because now I also have a way to keep my Podcast subscriptions all in one place and I can go ahead and bundle up long-running podcasts into year- or season-based M4Bs if I want to access them more easily when I’m not at home.
Now the problems that remain are deciding what to do with the large collections of audiobooks bought from Audible and (surprisingly) Google Play Books. I guess I can by now consume up my existing credits and stop paying further for the membership, focusing on buying new audiobooks from Libro.fm and keep them organized in Audiobookshelf. But short of finding ways around it, it doesn’t sound like I’ll be able to listen to some of my favourite radio series without spending quite a pretty penny on getting the CD releases — something like Cabin Pressure would be exceedingly expensive, as each season is in the £20 range, and it doesn’t look like it ever got a full collection release on CD, even though an Audible “A-to-Z” release was indeed available.
Worse yet, Google Play Books doesn’t even have a way to let you download the DRM’d files of the audiobooks you purchased! Which means even accepting to breach ToS to liberate those files, you’re pretty much stuck with no option, and if Google decides to kill the Play Books service, well, sucks to be you I guess. It doesn’t look like they would be in a hurry to do that, but given how the rest of the Play suite of software is turning out, I’m not entirely sure what the situation there is.
For those wondering why someone who cares about Audiobooks even has any of them on Play Books – possibly the worst platform in terms of feature, availability, and usability of its app – the answer is that I had signed up for “dogfooding” the product before it was launched. You can probably thank me in particular if the Play Books store shows the narrator of audiobooks before you purchase them!
