Hi, Diane! Thanks for the comment.

This site reflects my views. I&#039;m a spiritual person, not a religious one.

Hi, Adam! Thanks for the nice note.

I wrote the article &lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.narratorsroadmap.com/will-virtual-voices-take-narrators-jobs/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow ugc&quot;&gt;&lt;font color=&quot;purple&quot;&gt;Will Virtual Voices Take Narrators’ Jobs?&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; on my &lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.narratorsroadmap.com&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow ugc&quot;&gt;NarratorsRoadmap.com&lt;/strong&gt; site. It contains a number of resource links including some thoughts from others about the superiority of the human voice.

Hi, Amy! At the time I arranged &lt;em&gt;Weekend in New England&lt;/em&gt; for my high school band, I never could have imagined where that action would lead! 

This story shows me yet again that &lt;strong&gt;&lt;font color=&quot;purple&quot;&gt;there&#039;s meaning in every moment&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;. One thing leads to another, and pretty soon, you can have a whole rich, wonderful life that you hadn&#039;t planned!

Thanks for reading it and sharing my joy!

Hi, Christine! Thanks so much for reading my story and sharing my joy! 

When I was writing the article, I couldn&#039;t help but wonder if anyone would care about my history with Barry. I realized that this saga does remind me that anything is possible. I&#039;m delighted that you were left with those feelings as well!

Pet Scooter and Georgie for me!

					<description><![CDATA[I guess I am now officially on the list for author spam, even though my book is not published!

My mail account correctly flagged this message as spam:

&lt;code&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/code&gt;

From:      Richard Fur 
Subject:	Invitation to Participate in “Voices in Publishing”

Hello,

I hope you are doing well.

I recently came across your published work and wanted to reach out regarding an upcoming author feature we are currently preparing for radio and digital distribution.

Our team is organizing a professionally produced segment focused on authors, their background, and the ideas behind their books. The format is designed to introduce writers to a broader reading audience through a clear and conversational presentation.

As part of the process, we work with participating authors to prepare a short recorded feature that highlights their work and professional journey. The production includes interview guidance, audio editing, scheduling coordination, and final preparation for broadcast.

Your feature would also include reference to your published titles and Amazon author page where listeners can learn more about your work.

A one-time production fee applies to cover recording, engineering, and distribution support associated with the segment.

If you would like additional information about the format, timeline, or participation process, I would be happy to share further details and a sample segment for reference.

Thank you for your time, and I look forward to hearing from you.

Warm regards 

&lt;code&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;/code&gt;

It just ends there, with no name or anything else. It follows the same game plan as the Author Credibility Society including the one-time production fee to be featured with ....who or what organization? This scammer couldn&#039;t even be bothered to create a fake web site!]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Wow, Karen!!  I didn&#039;t know the extent of your fandom.  Your story from highschool is amazing-- that&#039;s commitment.  As someone who only remembers him from radio hits in the 80s, I also didn&#039;t know all those wonderful things about Barry.  He can thank-you for enlightening me &#038; others with your enthusiasm.  I hope he takes you up on your suggestion of an audiobook and that his number one fan/narrator/share-rator gets to write the intro! -Amyj]]></description>
