Poker may be perceived as ‘easy money’ since it appears to rely solely on two factors: luck and bluffing skills. However, what most people don’t know is that success in poker lies less on chance and more on strategy. 
Written by the Blokehead, Narrated by Sabrina Z
First off, in a fair game, players have no control whatsoever on what cards they would be dealt. There is an element of risk. Second, each participant has to make do with what they have. This necessitates the use of complicated tactics and proper management skills. Lastly, this is when the actual game begins: the art of manipulation. It requires meticulous attention to every detail – from the bet size to the table image of the opponent. Basic as they are, veterans utilize these skills to ensure victory. It takes a fair grasp of the game to master all these.

Poker Strategy: Audiobook Narrated by Sabrina Z

To learn bushcraft, one must adjust the state of mind. Instead of going through a series of complex mental processes when coming up with a decision, one should reform to a simpler, more primal state. It aids in prioritizing the more immediate needs. Even if it is just for a little while, one should experience the independence and empowerment of living by the moment and in using the forces of nature to the advantage. This 2 in 1 Box set allows you to learn bushcraft skills from the beginner stage to advanced 101 bushcraft skills.

The voiceover booth--where a siren, thunder, party next door or even unexpected critter can really do a number on a take. Here I'm working on "The History of the Democratic Party: A Political Primer" when a heckler, in the form of a giant bug, shows up. Since I'm in narration mode I just start narrating the bug story. About (01:30) minutes. Sharing just for laughs.

Giant Bug On My Script: Blooper Democratic Primer

Featuring Jay Electronica, Exhibit A (Instrumental)
I did a quick mash up of my regular audiobook read with one minute of Jay Electronica. Can you imagine a woman giving an inaugural speech? Here's food for thought as I read FDR's speech with his cadence and of course, a female lead.

This is a short segment from a book I narrated, available on Amazon, iTunes and Audible,: "The History of the Democratic Party: A Political Primer," written by Charles River Editors. (http://www.audible.com/pd/History/The-History-of-the-Democratic-Party-A-Political-Primer-Audiobook/B011A0TH2U/ref=a_search_c4_1_8_srTtl?qid=1448042716&sr=1-8) 

 It is F.D.R. during his memorable first inauguration speech, and finds me as a woman, reading "Presidential." I listened to the original delivery for inspiration prior to recording then got on a roll and did it in one take. Reading his words gave me chills, as I discovered first hand that there is something relevant in today's world to be learned #FDR from March 4, 1933.

J Electronica has mashed up political speeches before, this music adds so much to the spoken word.  This piece is only about a minute and I am the voice, using the music without claiming rights to Jay Electronica.  Much appreciation for the inspiration and tune.

For nearly five years, I wrote and hosted the Community Calendar, two segments running four times per week.  This is a sample to show how I took scores of press releases and condensed it down to a brief community story with personality.

The amazing Ms. Hawes. Indeed I think this is the first audiobook of ANY of her work, much less this insightful, modern yet historic and fun book. I'll post when it is published in a few weeks and sincerely hope I have done her justice. I worked with the utmost respect for what I was doing as I believe this work is truely important, in terms of works from American history which should not be lost over time. As we are all headlong into the modern digital era, it is refreshing and amazing to hear this work, set in 1920's Paris and 1930's New York City. 

Please see this New York Times write up to understand more about Ms. Hawes, a brilliant and important person who is largely unknown to the public now, but whom I hope is rediscovered one ... audiobook ... listener ... at  ... a ... time! Here is a quote from the link below:

Hawes’s books are plan-ruiningly readable, “Fashion Is Spinach” stands out. Why it isn’t more famous is an utter mystery; the book is epigrammatic enough to rival “The Philosophy of Andy Warhol” and entertainingly informative in the vein of something like “The Tipping Point.”
