Connor Reads Books

A lot of writers say they want “creative control.” Matt Sean Bell actually lived it. He wrote The Adean Saga, edited it through multiple rereads, built the cover art himself, printed physical copies in batches, and sells direct to readers through Etsy; handling the logistics most authors never see. If you’ve ever wondered what independent publishing looks like when you remove the safety rails, we get into the real workflow, the real time cost, and the oddly satisfying pride that comes with doing it all yourself.We also dig into craft. Matt breaks down how he blends sci-fi and fantasy without turning the book into a pile of exposition, and how a magic system can feel believable through pseudoscience and consistent world rules. We talk influences like Lord of the Rings, Dungeons and Dragons, Dune, Warhammer 40K, Mass Effect, and more, plus the 600-page worldbuilding reference that started as tabletop notes and grew into a fully realized setting. Along the way, we touch on character voice, brisk pacing, and why making something unique often means accepting that it won’t be for everyone.If you’re an indie author, a worldbuilder, or a reader who loves hybrid genre stories, you’ll walk away with practical insight and a healthier mindset around persistence, criticism, and finishing the work.

A gold mask glints in candlelight as a ruined temple fills with chanting and the promise of “purity.” A bound mythos prisoner kneels in the firelit center, chained to stone, and muzzled.We’re back with a dramatic, voice-acted chapter read from Gabrielle Wanek’s Songs of Ash and Dawn Book 2, and we’re not easing in. This is Chapter 1, and it carries a clear spoiler warning for anyone who hasn’t finished Book 1 yet. If you love fantasy, indie fantasy worlds, and the kind of narration that makes a scene feel staged and alive, this chapter is built for your headphones.

They wanted one clean rush of freedom, one daring swim toward the deep, one moment where the rules couldn’t touch them. Instead, Calistya and Khrystal run straight into Border Patrol, and Chapter 6 of The Solarian Deep turns a teenage act of courage into a system-level warning: you will be watched, labeled, and marched back into place. We’re Connor Reed’s Books, and we perform “Fault Lines” by author David Deane Haskell with Connor narrating and Ruth Ann and Jackie voicing the two leads, giving this cyberpunk sci-fi audiobook chapter the tension and tenderness it deserves.Voice ActorsRuthAnn Kvamme:ruthannkvamme.com Jackie Yangyuen: https://www.instagram.com/jlymuse/https://www.jlymusic.com/voice-actingDavid's Links: https://daviddeanehaskell.com/https://www.instagram.com/daviddeanehaskell/https://www.goodreads.com/author/show/7171228.David_Deane_Haskellhttps://www.amazon.com/stores/David-Haskell/author/B00DVBCZ5S?ref=ap_rdr&shoppingPortalEnabled=true&ccs_id=4011edc2-7c6b-4e23-8d3b-51b5b20c5faehttps://substack.com/@daviddeanehaskellVoice Over, Mixing and Mastering Credits:L.

A dead shoreline. A rusted power station. An underwater civilization that has every reason to fear the past; and one stubborn student who can’t stop reaching for it. We’re back with a solo story read from 'The Solarian Deep' by David Deane Haskell. Chapter 5 “Legacies Unearthed” is the kind of post-apocalyptic cyberpunk sci-fi that makes you feel the salt in the air and the risk in every kick of your feet.Daniela is brilliant, restless, and convinced that old-world infrastructure might hold the key to long-term survival. When her society draws a hard boundary around “dangerous” energy and “approved” progress, she does what curious people always do: she pushes past the boundary. A rare shore-access petition turns into a tense expedition with anthropologists scavenging for human relics and engineers hunting for usable answers.If you enjoy the ride, subscribe, share the show with a sci-fi friend, and leave a review.David's Links: https://daviddeanehaskell.com/https://www.instagram.com/daviddeanehaskell/https://www.goodreads.com/author/show/7171228.David_Deane_Haskellhttps://www.amazon.com/stores/David-Haskell/author/B00DVBCZ5S?ref=ap_rdr&shoppingPortalEnabled=true&ccs_id=4011edc2-7c6b-4e23-8d3b-51b5b20c5faehttps://substack.com/@daviddeanehaskellMusic Credits for chapter 5https://www.youtube.com/@WhiteBatAudioCinematic Documentary Drone by Infraction [No Copyright Music] / Slow MotionBlanket of Stars - Royalty Free 80s Retro Synth *No Beat* (Copyright Safe)Atmospheric Sci-Fi Synthwave - Distant Planet // Royalty Free No Copyright Background MusicBackground VideoFree Underwater Background Video Loop 4k  - Relaxing underwater video  - Royalty Free Vj LoopVoice Over, Mixing and Mastering Credits:L.

This week, I sit down with David Deane Haskell to talk about the long arc of becoming an author, from finding his voice through music to discovering that fiction and nonfiction can both be a way to be seen, understood, and connected.We explore David's experience in the indie publishing grind, and what the Kindle era taught a lot of writers the hard way: overnight success is rare, and craft takes time. David shares what influences still guide him today, his burst-based workflow, and using dictation to write.David talks about a multi-year stretch where healing was the priority, and how the floodgates reopened with richer characters and sharper themes. That shift shows up in The Solarian Deep, a story that starts with an undersea premise and grows into science fiction with dystopian edges, identity and transformation, social pressure, and the divide between “us” and “them.” We also talk about building an online presence, the real risk of internet cruelty, and the very real rewards of putting yourself out there.If you enjoy author interviews, science fiction craft talk, and honest conversations about creativity in public, you’ll get a lot out of this one. Subscribe, share the show with a friend, and leave a review so more readers and writers can find us.David's Links:https://daviddeanehaskell.com/https://www.instagram.com/daviddeanehaskell/https://www.goodreads.com/author/show/7171228.David_Deane_Haskellhttps://www.amazon.com/stores/David-Haskell/author/B00DVBCZ5S?ref=ap_rdr&shoppingPortalEnabled=true&ccs_id=4011edc2-7c6b-4e23-8d3b-51b5b20c5faehttps://substack.com/@daviddeanehaskellThe Men of the MountainPurchase the Book Here!! => Audible LinkReview Signups: https://forms.gle/dBNywczwCG72HXt9ADrew Harrison's Links: https://www.amazon.com/stores/Drew-Harrison/author/B09PJWGGF2?ref=ap_rdr&shoppingPortalEnabled=truehttps://www.goodreads.com/author/show/22160775.Drew_Harrisonhttps://drewharrisonbooks.wixsite.com/homeVoice Over, Mixing and Mastering Credits:L.

One moment Edgar is walking beside the sea, hand in hand with his wife, cherry blossoms drifting like soft pink snow. The next, the music cuts out, the city is silent, and the face beside him is no longer hers. “The Vanishing Lightning” is our full audio drama performance of Qualia Reed’s haunting science fiction short story, where love, memory, and survival collide in a world that has already ended.Content Warnings: Depictions of struggles with DementiaViolenceBloodElderly in PerilChildren in PerilQualia’s Links: https://www.instagram.com/qualiareed/https://www.facebook.com/p/Qualia-Reed-Author-100087126994657/https://www.goodreads.com/author/show/22862775.Qualia_Reedhttps://www.amazon.com/stores/author/B0BDTHJ3RP?ingress=0&visitId=f4b89a39-4ecd-4d9f-b56e-3821adbdf036Listen to Ursus Aeternus!https://www.audible.com/pd/Ursus-Aeternus-Audiobook/B0CNL37SPHVoice ActorsRuthAnn Kvamme - Laura 06ruthannkvamme.com Jackie Yangyuen - Isishttps://www.instagram.com/jlymuse/https://www.jlymusic.com/voice-actingConnor McGeverly - Narrator, Edgar, News AnchorWebsitehttps://www.instagram.com/l.connorvoice/Voice Over, Mixing and Mastering Credits:L.

A fantasy saga that was supposed to be three books somehow grows into ten, and it’s not because the author can’t let go, it’s because the world keeps demanding the parts that make it feel true. We’re joined by returning guest Gabrielle Wanick to celebrate the upcoming release of The Songs of Ash and Dawn Book 2 (July 14), and to get very honest about what it takes to plan long-form epic fantasy without collapsing under plot holes, pacing problems, or abandoned threads. Then we go behind the curtain on the production side of modern publishing: why the audiobook happened sooner than planned, how you sort through a massive list of narrator auditions, and what it feels like when a performer like Melissa Redmond adds a new layer of creativity to your text. We also get into revision realities, including cutting chapters, redistributing key scenes, and rewriting major parts of the series when a character no longer works. Add in myth-inspired worldbuilding, a runic magic system that functions like technology, and cover art by Zelda Devon with hidden spoiler details, and you’ve got plenty to chew on. Voice Over, Mixing and Mastering Credits:L.

I’m joined by Drew Harrison, author of Men Of The Mountain, to talk about how his background in journalism shaped his fiction, why he researches details most readers will never double-check, and how sci fi can act like a warning system when technology moves faster than our culture can adapt. We get into craft and influence in a practical way: how reading Stephen King, Brandon Sanderson, and Joe Abercrombie left fingerprints on Drew’s style, why first-person narration can shrink the distance between reader and character, and how he builds authenticity by keeping his protagonists human, insecure, and pressured by responsibility. Drew also explains why Men Of The Mountain starts with one genre flavor and then reveals a deeper sci fi core, using the clash between tribal life and advanced technology to make familiar concepts feel uncanny again. Then we zoom out to cyberpunk themes that are suddenly not-so-fictional: AI manipulation, misinformation, and the creeping sense that we’re building systems we don’t fully understand. Drew argues bleak worlds need optimism to stay readable, and that hope is what turns dystopian storytelling into something more than despair. We also talk audiobooks: the joy of hearing a narrator bring lines to life, the challenge of letting go of control, and the best advice for authors who want to adapt their books to audio. If you enjoy author interviews, science fiction writing, cyberpunk ideas, and grounded worldbuilding, subscribe, share this with a reader friend, and leave a review so more people can find the show.'Men of The Mountain' Early Review Signups: https://forms.gle/dBNywczwCG72HXt9ADrew Harrison's Links: https://www.amazon.com/stores/Drew-Harrison/author/B09PJWGGF2?ref=ap_rdr&shoppingPortalEnabled=truehttps://www.goodreads.com/author/show/22160775.Drew_Harrisonhttps://drewharrisonbooks.wixsite.com/homeSip Java Co, where much of MotM was written: https://maps.app.goo.gl/wKgL7y6tqvFXz3mg6Well's Coffee, which does the on-site roasting: https://maps.app.goo.gl/c1VYu9isiD3YYvsJADrew's Events: Read it Write it, June 20: https://www.facebook.com/ReadItWriteBookFestival/Shelf Life Space, June 27: https://www.instagram.com/shelflifespace/Voice Over, Mixing and Mastering Credits:L.

A goat-eyed spacefaring civilization, an unexpectedly lovable AI orb, and a romance that never asks you to wade through spice just to get to the heart of the story. That’s the energy we bring to this chat with Canada-based sci-fi and fantasy author R.C. Hannah as we celebrate the Warforged audiobook release and dig into what makes plot-first LGBTQ romance so satisfying when it’s done with care. We also get real about the indie publishing side, including cover art and the growing problem of undisclosed AI art. R.C. shares a simple safeguard for authors: ask for step-by-step progress so you can see the work evolve. You’ll also hear what’s next for him, where to find his books and socials, and a fun final question that ends with a very specific fictional treat.

I’ve been away from the feed for a few months, but it’s not because the work stopped it’s because the audiobook work ramped up. This update is my “here’s what I’ve been making” guide for anyone who loves audio fiction, audiobook narration, and big genre swings from space opera to romance to dystopian mystery.First, I talk through three completed audiobooks you can grab on Audible. Then I lay out what’s next for Connor Read’s Books: interviews with R.C. Hannah and Drew Harrison, sample chapters as podcast episodes, and more short fiction. I also launched a short story submission page for writers (under 4,000 words, mainly horror, sci-fi, or fantasy) and I’m actively looking for more voice talent, especially performers with feminine voices for women characters. Long-term, I’m aiming to build a Patreon or donate link so we can pay authors and voice actors, because creative work deserves real support.Subscribe so you don’t miss the interviews and story drops, and if you enjoy the show, share it with a friend and leave a review.Short Story Submissionshttps://www.lconnorvoice.com/submit-your-storyVoice Over Auditions: Message [email protected] “VO Audition” in the subject line - messages without it will not be accepted. Audio Book Links: Black Sun: Rise of the Flint PiratesWarforgedTransfer PointText Book Links:Men of the MountainVoice Over, Mixing and Mastering Credits:L.
