Episode 4: Every Time I Look For You

In the present day, 38-year-old Cody Miller has arrived at the mall. He expects to meet up with old high school buddies before heading to their friend’s funeral. Instead, he is about to have an unexpected (and unusual) encounter in the parking lot.

Back in 2006, Jordan, trapped in a prison of casual dining, realizes he has made his life much more difficult by committing to a long-distance relationship with his girlfriend Steph. Meanwhile, Tyler leads his younger half-brother, Shane, on a quest into the shadows of an abandoned department store. A rite of passage? Or a huge mistake?

Okay, look. Full disclosure, I’m not a professional voice actor or narrator. As you can probably tell. It’s, uh, actually taking a STACK of vocal effect filters just to get my voice sounding tolerable on this podcast.

Fortunately for everyone’s ears, I did NOT do my own audiobooks for my fiction novels, which are currently available on basically every platform and are narrated and produced by professional voice actors.

Side note: I should probably specify that they are fully HUMAN voice actors, real people with real talent, who did real work, no AI, no robots. It’s a shame that I even have to specify that, but this is the world we live in now.

Another side note: There I give 3 of my audiobooks away for FREE to anyone who wants them. They’re available on YouTube, or you can download and keep them forever, for precisely zero dollars. No streaming necessary. No monthly payment to get an audio credit. You download them, and they’re yours to do with what you like. Heck, you can burn them on a CD, if people still do that.

1990s Scholastic Book Fair

Do you remember getting those little paper flyers they sent home and circling all the ones you wanted? Bringing an envelope of cash to school and trying to figure out how to stretch fifteen bucks into five books and a poster?

Goosebumps, Animorphs, joke books, the Guinness Book of World Records, plus the bookmarks and little junk items that Mom will definitely be annoyed that you bought instead of books. Yeah. It’ll all be there.

For me, the school book fair was where I bought Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone… WHEN IT WAS A NEW RELEASE. Excuse me while my bones turn to dust and I disintegrate on the wind.

Just for fun, I’ve put together a 90s Scholastic Book Fair Collection that I dare you to look at and not feel like you’re 9 years old with an envelope of cash in your jeans pocket. These books, posters, and other nostalgic finds will take you back to 1997. And it’s not just the bestsellers. I went with some deep cuts. Some weird stuff that was cool back in the day. Maybe you’ll even find something you wouldn’t mind reading to your kids.
