Out today on Audible & iTunes: Out of Whack by KN Gould. Had a blast narrating this eerie, slow-burn suspense—equal parts unsettling and impossible to put down. If haunted houses, strange neighbors, and creeping dread are your thing… you’re in for a ride.

Cover of the audiobook Out of Whack by KN Gould, narrated by Dana P. Rowe. The image has a dark, ominous, sepia-toned color scheme. On the right stands a weathered, abandoned farmhouse with broken windows and a sagging porch, shrouded in eerie shadow. A flock of black birds takes flight above the house, adding to the unsettling atmosphere. On the left, a lone silhouette of a man walks along a dirt path through tall, dry grass toward the house. Dark, swirling storm clouds loom in the sky, creating a sense of tension and foreboding. The title “Out of Whack” is prominently displayed in large white serif font at the top center. Below, the credits read: “Written by KN Gould” and “Narrated by Dana P. Rowe” in a matching serif typeface.

Delighted to share that Fathers of the Bride is now available on Audible and iTunes. Marshall Thornton’s writing is a joy to narrate—funny, heartfelt, & full of charm. I had a great time bringing these characters to life. Hope you’ll give it a listen. #audiobooks #booksky #indieAuthors #narrator

Square audiobook cover for Fathers of the Bride by Lambda Award-winner Marshall Thornton, narrated by Dana P. Rowe. The title is written in large pink capital letters against a sparkling blue background with starbursts and glowing orbs. On the right side, there is a cartoon-style illustration of a bride in a white gown holding a bouquet, smiling over her shoulder. The vibe is whimsical and fun.

“Things native English speakers know, but don’t know we know.” Confession time 🤓 — I’m a total language geek. I love this stuff.

ALT TXT:
A tweet by Matthew Anderson (@MattAndersonBBC) reads: “Things native English speakers know, but don’t know we know:” Below the tweet is a photo of a book excerpt explaining adjective order rules in English. The text states that adjectives must follow a set sequence: opinion, size, age, shape, color, origin, material, purpose, then noun. It gives the example: “a lovely little old rectangular green French silver whittling knife.” The text warns that breaking this order makes sentences sound chaotic and odd, even to native speakers. The excerpt humorously concludes that, because size comes before color, “green great dragons” can’t exist. The tweet shows 48,848 retweets and 70,041 likes. #narrating #authors #booksky #audiobooks #mystery

It’s not just politics—it’s people’s lives, rights, and democracy at stake. If you’re feeling overwhelmed but want to take action, Robert Reich lays it out simply. Compassion and justice never go out of style.

Enjoying some quality time in Ohio with my son Landon. Family moments are the best. 😊 #Family #HappyPlace ❤️

A warm, joyful photo of two men sitting closely together in an indoor setting with a wooden floor and folding chairs in the background. The man on the left is bald with a well-groomed salt-and-pepper beard, bright eyes, and a wide smile showing his teeth. He is wearing a dark gray turtleneck sweater. His left arm is wrapped around the shoulders of the man on the right. The man on the right has a full dark beard, a friendly smile, and is wearing a greenish-brown flat cap and a red and navy plaid flannel shirt over a black t-shirt. They are both looking at the camera with expressions of happiness and warmth, conveying a strong bond and shared joy.

Thanks for putting all that out there, NellieGwynn! And thanks for this image. So good and true.

A hand-drawn, textured quote illustration on a beige paper background with vibrant colors and geometric accents. The text reads:

"People start to heal the moment they feel heard."
– Cheryl Richardson

The word "HEAL" is emphasized with bold, capitalized letters decorated in teal, purple, and orange patterns featuring swirls, dots, and geometric designs. The word "HEARD" is similarly bold, with an orange fill and black outlines. The decorative elements around the text include hand-drawn diamonds, lines, and border patterns in earthy tones of blue, orange, and brown, giving it a warm and artistic feel.

This quote inspires empathy and understanding, with its artistic presentation enhancing its uplifting message.

🌈 Did you see this? The Pentagon just settled with LGBTQ+ veterans discharged for being who they are. Historic moment, but let’s not forget the fight it took to get here. Change happens because people demand it. 💪 #LGBTQVeterans #Justice #EqualityMatters 💛🧡❤️💜💙💚💛🤎🖤 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️

Hi Brett! I haven’t heard of FadeIn—sounds like a great tool. I’m a big fan of open-source options like OpenOffice, too. Many of my audiobook narrator colleagues use Twisted Wave and Audacity for free, open-source audio editing. 🎧 It’s amazing what those DAWs can do.

🙌 That’s fantastic—congrats on working with a traditional publisher! I’m sure it takes a lot off your plate. I’ll check out your work. I don’t own Vellum either, but I hear it’s top-notch for polished layouts and seamless .ePub conversions.

That’s a great system, Jason—Scrivener for the heavy lifting and Word for the polish. I’ve heard many indie authors swear by Vellum for the final book layout.

Agreed, Denise—I love Scrivener myself. Final Draft is more for screenwriters and playwrights—Scrivener’s drama-loving cousin. 😉

Finally saw #Wicked this morning 💚🎶 The shortest, most magical (almost) three-hour movie I’ve experienced since childhood—pure Old Hollywood musical perfection. #MusicalMovie #MusicalTheatre

A cheerful selfie of two men standing inside a movie theater. Both are smiling widely. On the left, a man with a bald head, gray beard, and glasses wears a black scarf and a green jacket, giving a thumbs-up. On the right, a man with a bald head, gray mustache, and neatly trimmed beard wears a dark scarf and green jacket, pointing up with his index finger. Above them, a digital marquee displays the text “12 Wicked 10:50” in red, indicating the title and showtime of the movie. The background features theater lights and a red and blue color scheme, adding a vibrant and festive atmosphere.

Yes! It’s fascinating that we’re all a mix—it’s all about finding the balance that works best for each of us. 🌟

Ha! Classic introvert move. 😂 If it involves a crowd, I’ll just celebrate from the comfort of my home with a good book instead. 📚

So true. I’ve realized that I’m more of a 'social sprinter.' I can handle socializing in small doses, and I really enjoy collaboration. But the magic—and my recharge time—happens in moments of solitude.

Dana P. Rowe @danaprowe.com · 01/01/2025

Happy World Introvert Day! January 2: the day introverts breathe again. 🌬️ After the holiday marathon, it's time to honor the power of quiet reflection. As an ambivert, I cherish solitude—it’s where I recharge, feel most at peace, and find my creative flow. 💭✨ What about you? 💭✨

Illustration of a stack of colorful books, symbolizing introspection and personal growth, surrounded by whimsical musical notes on a soft blue background. The text reads 'World Introvert Day' in bold letters, followed by '2 January, 2025' and the phrase 'Introverts: recharging the world, one quiet moment at a time.'
