Virtual-Voice AI-Narrated Audiobooks

Over the last four years, I have narrated and turned many of my books into audiobooks. I am now in the process of turning the rest of them into audiobooks via Amazon’s new beta, virtual-voice AI technology. Because the technology is new, you can only buy the virtual-voice-narrated audiobooks via Amazon US. My human-narrated books are available in most countries through Amazon Audible and other audio channels.

The virtual voice I am using has an Australian accent (like me) but lacks emotion and the transfer of spiritual energy. At first, I was not interested in virtual voice for these reasons. However, someone pointed out that they prefer virtual voice because they like to add their own emotion. So, I changed my mind—it’s an experiment.

Listening to audiobooks is an easy way of “reading” and is time-efficient. You can multitask—listen and drive, walk, run, or go to sleep. It is also a powerful way of connecting with an author. It helps the listener to grow in a natural, almost unnoticed way. Although we can read broadly for education and entertainment purposes, when it comes to effective spiritual work, the best approach is to focus intently on the work of a teacher we are drawn to. You can read endless words about spiritual matters that have no substantial impact on your progress, but everyone makes progress when they intensely dedicate their time, at least for certain periods, to the teachers they are drawn to. In this vein, my audiobooks are offered. They contain the foundational elements of truth, and I’m confident they will have a healing and uplifting impact.

Master of Me: Meditations—OUT NOW

Master of Me: Meditations is for spiritual seekers, seers, and teachers. We are all all of them. We are all seekers, though we may not know what we seek. We are all seers, though we may be looking through a murky window. And we are all teachers to someone. Naturally, the quality of our seeking, seeing, and teaching improves with our growth, but that is simply a matter of time (although, in actuality, the soul knows neither time nor space). Once you become acquainted with the meditative state of mind, it will tend to stick around. After a while, you become inseparable from and deeply in love with the consciousness of love, which underlies all authentic meditative practices. You become a walking, talking meditation yourself. LEARN MORE

Mystery Meditation

This new 8-minute mystery meditation can help expand your consciousness and break boundaries within your mind. One of the main problems in our world is that people think they “know” things. They think they know themselves, other people, and how the world works. People who think this way generally know very little. Those who know more understand how little they actually know. Being aware of the mystery of life is a forerunner to knowing anything of substance.

Uninvited Guest to Valued Friend

Trying to get rid of compulsive thoughts and behaviours will not work. Even if it did work, the underlying problem will still be there and will surface in a different form, maybe worse than the first way.

Your consciousness is always talking to you. If you ignore it for too long, the built-up stress will find an outlet, a favourite one being compulsions. Compulsions are thoughts that go round and round ad infinitum or nonsensical behaviours that seem to have a mind of their own. Instead of trying to kill the messenger (the compulsion), try to discover from whence it came. Who or what has sent it?

The Flat (Book 4 of Nanima Series): Paperboy (Chapters 1 to 2)

Here is the beginning of The Flat (Book 4 of the Nanima Series).

PAPERBOY

Chapter 1: Happy Dreams

“Happy dreams,” said Luna as he opened the bedroom door for Iggy to enter. 

“Sleep well,” said Maliyan as she headed for the bathroom. 

“I will,” said Luna. “The night is so quiet at your house that I feel like I’m in a cocoon.”

He was used to the hustle and bustle, traffic and horns, yelling and late-night laughing of inner-city life.

At the end of his Christmas holiday break, Luna was ready to tell Maliyan that he never left for the northern city and was still in the southern one near her. When he initially decided to move back north, he gave notice on his flat. By the time he decided that he was no longer going, his flat had been leased to someone else, so he was homeless. Maliyan offered him her spare room, assuming he wouldn’t take it. He did take it. The last time they lived together was summer, two years ago, in Nanima, in the shophouse of Luna Tiks.

Foxie: the Contact Child—Cha Chu Pani

A novel by Donna Goddard and her granddaughter, Aisha Bailey,written for 7 to 12-year-olds. Together, they draw on imagination, family stories, and the beauty of life — both the mundane and the extraordinary — to create tales for children.

Foxie is no ordinary child. She comes from Cha Chu Pani, a peaceful world where children grow in glowing bubbles, creatures live in harmony, and everyone communicates through thoughts. As a hybrid Contact Child, her first solo mission is a big one — Earth.

After a secret night landing in Tanglewood, Foxie is taken in by Aunty Em and Uncle Harry, who believe she’s simply a lost girl with no memory. But Foxie knows exactly who she is…

Earth brings many surprises: new foods, strange customs, powerful emotions, and a maddening foster girl named Maddie.

A magical, uplifting adventure about understanding, listening, courage, love, and seeing Earth through new eyes.

Chapter 1: Cha Chu Pani

My name is Foxie, and I come from a long way away. A very long way away. Much farther than you’ve ever imagined. 

My planet is called Cha Chu Pani. In our language, cha means one, chu means two, and pani means dancer. Cha Chu Pani has a twin planet, and we cha-cha around each other like two dancers. A year is longer here than on Earth. It takes us 454 days to get around our sun. It only takes you 365 days…
