I think I finally built an AI-narrated audiobook I actually enjoy listening to. 🧑‍🔬

For the past few weeks I’ve been experimenting with open-source narration tools to see if I could create an audiobook I’d feel good about releasing.

I think I finally got there. In fact, I’ve caught myself listening to it when cooking and even before bed.

That’s why I released The Truth Beyond the Sky: Data Leak Edition as a completely free audiobook to YouTube yesterday.

🎧 Full-length.

🆓 Free.

🚫 No signup.

▶️ Just hit play.

Not sure if it’s for you? Chapter 1 is only 9 minutes long.

If you enjoy thought-provoking science fiction with big ideas, strange discoveries, and a galaxy that keeps getting weirder the deeper you look, I hope you’ll give it a listen. 🛸

🎧 Curious? Start listening on YouTube now:

I’d love to hear what you think after Chapter 1. 😎

The Overview Effect: A Revised Chapter from “The Kaleidoscopic Universe” 🌏

Four years into building The Kaleidoscopic Universe, I’m still finding new angles in the story.

Below is a glimpse of the magical new opening to Chapter 5 of the first book in my upcoming Tropical Sci-Fi trilogy.

It was shaped by something real: a documented psychological shift called The Overview Effect. 🔭

It’s what happens when astronauts see Earth from space for the first time.

Borders disappear.
Politics disappear.
What remains is a single, fragile world hanging in darkness. 🌎

Many describe it as overwhelming. Many grown adults cry. Most of them never see reality the same way again.

In this chapter, Asha has technically been in orbit before.

But she has never truly seen the planet.

Until now.

Read Chapter 5 (for free) on my Patreon blog →

So, my upcoming book The Kaleidoscopic Universe needs a subtitle.

Which one would you choose?

1️⃣ A Sci-Fi Thriller of Love, Impermanence, and Cosmic Awakening
2️⃣ A Sci-Fi Thriller of War, Love, and Impermanence
3️⃣ A Sci-Fi Thriller of Consciousness and Catastrophe
4️⃣ A Space Opera of Love, Loss, and Awakening

Vote in the poll and tell me why in the comments. Mahalo 🌺

P.S. Today’s image is a glimpse of a scene from that same book, as Zahn & Anjali enjoy a quiet moment, watching the golden waterfall.

This is their first real date.

“The problem with artificial minds is not that they think too much, but that they listen too well.”

Below, a scene from The Kaleidoscopic Ring, one of my upcoming sci-fi novels.

The blue-haired Wén Zizzler is bound, helpless, as Vayuna (an exiled intelligence) floats above a fresh crop circle, watched by village elders who may or may not be on his side.

This image captures one of the book’s most unsettling and unforgettable moments. More secrets, chaos, and mind-bending twists from this world are coming soon…
