Multitasking
I am cold. I am sitting in my office with the door closed and a room heater running. It is doing double duty, as I have a sweater that I don't put in the dryer hanging on a hanger off the back of my desk chair, and the heater is blowing right on it. So it is almost dry, and I am warm. Multitasking at its finest.
The book I am listening to while I am multitasking (I am also watching the eagles on youtube and playing at a video game) is narrated by Julia Whelan. I don't know when I discovered that she is an excellent audiobook reader, but now I listen to anything I find that she is reading. Sometimes this leads me to authors I might otherwise have overlooked.
Back in the early 2000s, my favorite book reader was Dick Hill. Hill, I'm sorry to say, passed away in 2022 after narrating more than 1,000 books. The first works I recall hearing him read were The Sword of Truth series by Terry Goodkind. But after that, like Whelan, I listened to most anything he read.
In fact, I sent Mr. Hill a fan email in 2008, and I still have it and his response:

Local Author Signing
An old photo I took of Santillane, around 2006, maybe? |
The meeting room at the library was packed, and I sat at the back where the door was cracked open. The local historical society sponsored the event, so there were a lot of those folks in attendance.
People lined up before and after the lecture to get a signed copy of the book. |

Local Book Authors Sale
This is Dan Smith. He sold me a book called, "News," which is about a news reporter. |
This is Bill, who teaches journalism at Radford, and a woman who writes true crime. You may have seen her on shows like 20/20 that delve into these true crime things. I don't read true crime. |
Ken Conklin lives not far from me and wrote a book called "Norvel," which is about a Black Olympic Medal winner from our county. |
I didn't speak to this person, I don't know why. I just had the phone out snapping pictures and this was one of them. |
