To the few listeners who have access to this site by invitation, please know I appreciate you critique. And also that there is much work left to be done, so the files are not perfect. Yet.
The A I voices are amazing, but it takes a lot of editing, to bring them to voice flow with pitch realistically. Also, there is a lot of actual wording structure in content that needs to be edited down. But, it is a start. And I hope you will keep returning to hear new chapters.
This is a huge project, with 7 novels.
I will say, that having one's work read aloud, makes a big difference, and brings mistakes directly to the surface.
This is a test site for the audio files.

Thank you. Ruth, as Megan, herself..
