What was your inspiration for this book?
In 1999, I had the desire to write a horror tale called The Dark. I had never written horror before, but I wrote the story which eventually sold.
The next day, I read in the news that Stephen King had been hit by a truck in Maine. I thought to myself, “It was as if something needed that story to be written and since he couldn’t, it moved to me.”
This was the height of ego as Mr. King is a far more adept a writer than I. But the thought stuck with me and I wondered what it would be like if there was something: an actual physical entity that could help people write, and not just write, but write best sellers.
That concept became The Muse.
Why did you decide to produce an audiobook?
As a trained actor and voice-over artist, it seemed a logical choice to create an audiobook. I drive a lot in my career as an entertainer, and I always have an audiobook playing through my vehicle's bluetooth connection.
How did you choose the reader for the book and the production company?
I am truly a one man band, did it all in-house. I did the research and found a good microphone, and the correct setting in my computer program Garageband. I then bought a product called "VOGO", which is a portable sound booth, that is basically a tabletop canopy, but works very well for shutting out ambient sound. My wife did the first edit, and then I would fine-tune the final product.
