But maybe you want to know about my new audiobook, Secret Supers in Space.

Here’s the blurb:

The Secret Supers are bored out of their minds during summer vacation-until they go to Space Camp. They learn all about the space program, try out moon gravity and zero-g simulations, and practice docking with the International Space Station.

But that’s the easy part. The villains they defeated in the past are back with a diabolical plot that renders the middle schoolers’ superpowers ineffective. Jeremy, Aubrey, Dan, and Kayla face the biggest challenge of their lives. Even if they escape the villains’ clutches, will they survive?

I love this story, a great continuation of the first book. The Super Secrets have one heck of an adventure, and I was happy to be along for the ride.

Meet the Secret Supers

My New Audiobook

Jeremy Gentle, 7th-grader, in an electric wheelchair due to cerebral palsy. His father, Bradon Gentle, works as a financial planner and his mother, Denise, works as an occupational therapist.

He loves science, math, science fiction to the point he tends to be bit obsessive about his interests. His parents have adapted their home for him, putting in an elevator and giving him a science lab where he can work on his experiments downstairs.

In the book Secret Supers, he accidently gives himself a superpower.

Meet Dan Elanga, the next Secret Super

My New Audiobook
Your Sixth Literary Gift Love These Superheroes
Dan Elanga – He can read minds and sensory impressions.

Dan Elanga, is the son of Cameroon immigrants, Elisha and Beulah Elanga. He was born blind and his father, a successful merchant in Cameroon, migrated to the US to help their son fully develop his abilities despite his blindness.

Dan became Jeremy’s best friend, perhaps because they were opposites. Dan was big and gregarious. Jeremy was small and private. Dan likes to joke. Jeremy is serious.

Dan was the second person to get a superpower.

Secret Super Three: Kayla Verdera

Produce Your Audiobook 4 in Steps – what are they?

I covered this six years ago (!!!) in this blog post: 4 Steps in Producing Zombie Turkeys Audiobook. Since then, I’ve created eight audiobooks using six different voice actors.

You can see them all, except my eighth book, which is in production, right here on my Audible author page.

Find out all that I’ve learned in six years and make your own audiobook starting today!

Produce Your Audiobook – Step 1

Step 1 is join ACX as an author. Create your ACX audiobook account and connect it to your published book.

Produce Your Audiobook – Step 2

Secret Supers in Space
Produce Your Audiobook

I then published the audition script for the book, selecting the best sections to show the reader’s capabilities. You want the reader to voice your major characters. Be sure to provide voice directions about the age and personality of the characters and any accents you desire. Then I put the book out to for audition on ACX.

My most recent audiobook, now in production, is Secret Supers in Space.

Here’s the page where you upload your script for audition.

Step Three: Sending the Script

After selecting a voice actor, Khai Lannor, I submitted a contract for the audiobook, and he agreed. ACX has pre-made contracts to offer to voice actors and producers.

Here’s Khai’s profile on ACX

Royalty share, Royalty Share Plus are alternative contracts you can offer.

Royalty Share means you split the audiobook royalties 50-50.

Finally, Royalty Share Plus means you split the audiobook royalties and pay the voice actor/producer a fee.

Approving the Audiobook

Khai sent me a fifteen-minute sample. After I approved that, he finished the book. That leads us to the final step of the process.

Along the way, I also send him directions on how I want the characters voiced: their accent, tone, and age.

I have nine main characters in Secret Supers in Space, all with different voices

Here’s one, Jeremy Gentle. He’s 12 going on 13, with cerebral palsy. He’s in an electric wheelchair most of the time–except when he’s using his telekinesis power.

Aubrey Wilcosky

4 Steps in Producing Zombie Turkeys Audiobook

4 Steps in Producing Zombie Turkeys Audiobook

The first step in Producing Zombie Turkeys Audiobook is to create your ACX audiobook account and connect it to your published book.  For me, it’s my Zombie Turkeys book, the first volume of the Life After Life Chronicles.

I have over eighty characters in Zombie Turkeys. Of course, some of them die.

Let’s close this post with the latest review of Zombie Turkeys:

on August 26, 2017
Let me start by saying that “Andy Zach” has an unusual sense of humor (or possibly has escaped from a lunatic asylum and is living under an assumed name). I invite you to check out his Amazon author page and read the bio. He’s gone all in on this zombie expert thing (since his parents were zombies) and states that he reanimated dead animals as a child for a science fair. He also currently raises phoenixes as a hobby. One more thing before starting on the story. What is that ‘thing’ on his head in his author picture?

Right off the bat, you have to assume that with a title like “Zombie Turkeys” that this will be a humorous story, yet it unfolds almost like a documentary. I wanted to love it, but something didn’t fully click with me. I did LIKE it, nonetheless. There are some cute running gags about expense accounts and the occasional shift of POV to the head ZT “He felt great. He was full of energy, he had many hens to breed with, and he was the leader of a great flock.” There are plenty of other gags (like ordering a Zombie Turkey killing flamethrower from Amazon Prime) that continue to make things fun, as well as all of the way-out ways they develop to dispatch the undead turkeys.

Zombie Turkeys Review Part 2

The central character is Sam Melvin, a reporter with the tiny local Illinois paper “The Midley Beacon”. Sam becomes an internet sensation by reporting on the Zombie Turkey outbreak. He always manages to be in the right place at the right time to get the story. Sam is a VERY mild-mannered reporter and I found him a little too ‘everyman’. Walter Mitty at least had adventures in his head, Sam seemed to get to the scene MOSTLY in the aftermath of the battle.

Overall, I think it was the characters that left me in the friend-zone with this story. None of them struck me as endearing, which I think could have gone a long way to make this a better story (for me). Perhaps I should also go on the record as stating that I’m not a Zombie Genre fan. Never watched an entire George Romero movie and switched off “The Walking Dead” after 3 episodes. I’m more of a “Shaun of the Dead” and “iZombie” kind of guy.

Before closing, I also have to say that at the end of ZT, there is an opening chapter of Andy’s second book “My Undead Mother-in-law”. I found it interesting enough to put it on my reading list for the future. Maybe I just don’t like turkeys?

If you have an off-beat sense of humor, give Zombie Turkeys a try. It might be right up your alley.
