AT NOON EST (GMT -5), TODAY (11/23/21), there will be a live reading of chapters from books 1 and 2 (and perhaps even non-canon content), by the narrator of The Menocht Loop, Joe Hempel! The audiobook sounds amazing. My parents do NOT like fantasy books but they were able to finish The Menocht Loop Book 1 by listening to the audiobook (a miracle; still took them a month kek).
Joe has a professional streamer setup so his audio and video are top notch. It will be a FUN TIME.
And since today is of course the BOOK LAUNCH OF BOOK 1, I will be in Discord with Joe hanging out, answering questions, etc. I will be on video so you will be able to see me and converse.
Unauthorized content usage: if you discover this narrative on Amazon, report the violation.
Joe will probably be LITERALLY RECORDING at least one chapter for book 2 that will go into the audiobook while on stream. To reiterate, you will be able to see him record THE EXACT TRACKS that will make it into the ebook! If you've ever been curious how narrators narrate books and what the process is like, tune in because he is happy to answer questions!
Here is the animated cover for the audiobook, provided by my audiobook publisher, Podium!

The Menocht Loop and I can't express how happy it made me. It's now been 20 months since I first started putting Menocht on RR and wow it has been a journey. Writing books isn't easy—it takes up hours every week, and there is pressure to always write at your best. You don't want to disappoint your readers...and you don't want to disappoint yourself.
Menocht isn't perfect, but I'm proud of it, and I'm eternally grateful for everyone's kind support on this website. You all are a fantastic community. A not insignificant number of you chose to support me on Patreon either now or at some time in the past, and that helped me to do everything right—pay for an amazing cover artist and fund a professional editor.
publishing company with my editor, Silas Sontag (sontagisme on RR and Discord). Silas is different from a professional editor who sees the final manuscript—he looks at every single chapter before I post and gives invaluable developmental feedback on everything. It's really obvious when I post something he hasn't had time to look at. None of this would be possible without him.
If you enjoyed Book 1, please (if you have KU, you can read it for free) and leave a review!
if you don't actually read it (and Amazon has anti-fraud software to catch people who just flip through the pages or straight to the end) I won't get any royalties. So while purchasing the book outright is better for me with respect to royalties if you don't plan to reread, it is still a help for the book's sales ranking if you just download it with KU.
You should download the book after purchasing if you plan to leave a review, as only after downloading will Amazon give you the "verified purchase" tag on your review, and the tag is important.
