This interview was recorded at the Frankfurt Bookfair in Frankfurt, Germany.

Cory Verner created Christian Audio as a solution to having something good to listen to on his daily 3-hour commute from San Diego to Orange County in California. He grew his company to the point where he was ready to move on and sold it to Recorded Books, at which point he decided to create his new company, ONE Audiobooks. He also has Verity Audio Productions, specializing in Spanish, and works with other audiobook publishers. 

We discuss the value of audiobooks with a good message, not preaching, but like PG or PG 13-type stories.

He also created Zoundy.com, a site that allows authors to create and use an audiobook as a free giveaway to build reviews for their books, which can be posted on Goodreads and Amazon.

NOTE: We used the term “SaaS” in the interview, which means “Software as a Service.”

We also discuss the growth of the audiobook industry and the models used to discover audiobooks.

Steel Lobsters covers the complete history of England’s last knights, from the seeds of their creation in Hesilrige’s experience as a young cavalry officer to their final defeat at Roundway Down in July 1643.

About The Book:
Secrets of the Egyptian Nag Hammadi
The Nag Hammadi texts were found in the Upper Nile town of the same name by a farmer in 1945. They date from the 2ndCentury AD but may be even older in their original form. Kevin claims to have discovered within them the lost ‘Book of Great Secrets’, and that the Major Arcana suit of the tarot deck has its origins in ancient Egypt and is actually anaccount of the world’s creation. 
 
They offer a plausible answer to the really big questions of who, what, why, when, where and how we are, through ‘the revealing’, ‘the psychic’ and the ‘spiritual science of God’!
 
These texts are the teachings of masters and exponents immersed in the disciplines of understanding energies, auras, spirits, demons and other classes of interdimensional entities that move through our world, and the realms they occupy and control. 
 
And of the latter, the texts seek to give to us the gravest warning of ‘archon’ intrusion, their universal threat to us, and how these creatures emerged as a supra phantastic, super intelligent anomaly from the bile of the original womb in the predominant form of so-called ETs and can move through ether and matter like fishes through water.
 
They are delineated as the supreme, sabotaging influence on that which created us.
 
These texts make a promise to you. If you persevere you will be greatly rewarded, and your understanding of life made fuller. They will slowly reveal to you their ‘great secrets’. But you are warned that this may come at a price! The interdimensional ‘powers’ that have conspired to keep mankind blind and locked in slavery may well visit upon you prior to, during, or just after your sleep state. They dread the human being becoming alive to their evil. They exist in a state of fear of being discovered any minute now. Should you come under their attack, do not fear because they texts tell you how to deal with it
