Gunboat1 Posted March 19, 2022 Share Posted March 19, 2022 Hello to all my TBS friends! I hope you will indulge me again. Due to your encouraging responses to the Sea Stories I wrote over the last couple of years, I decided to publish them in book, ebook and audiobook form. The paperback and e-book are now available on Kindle/Amazon. There are a couple of new stories added to the ones I shared here before. The audiobook version will be uploaded in the next day or so and should be available within about 2 weeks. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09VWRWW6M I hope you will enjoy reading the stories and keeping them in book form for sharing or re-reading in time. If you do choose to buy one or both of my books, please post a review and rating in Amazon; these really help with sales and circulation. If you know any Vietnam or US Navy veterans who you think might enjoy one or both, please pass along the information to them! Thank you all so very much. I'd love any feedback you may wish to share with me, too! Have a great Spring, GB1 5 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's pretty awesome. How does one publish an audio book? Did you do the narration yourself? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gunboat1 Posted March 20, 2022 Author Share Posted March 20, 2022 I did! Learning how to record and edit the Audiobook was the hardest part of the whole process. I used an Apple Mac computer and a software package called GarageBand. There are some YouTube videos which help you learn how to do it, but there is a learning curve for sure. Thanks for your interest! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gunboat1 Posted March 20, 2022 Author Share Posted March 20, 2022 OK, Audiobook files successfully uploaded. Should be available within 10 working days. Hope somebody out there enjoys it! GB1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gunboat1 Posted April 1, 2022 Author Share Posted April 1, 2022 That's very kind. There are a couple of new ones in the book that haven't been shared here. Really appreciate your support. GB1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kerbie18 Posted April 1, 2022 Share Posted April 1, 2022 I purchased a copy in return for your thoughtful response to my thread, and because I'll probably enjoy it. Side note, isn't it awesome how you can stay online these days in the middle of the damn ocean? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kerbie18 Posted April 4, 2022 Share Posted April 4, 2022 Just got home from my cruise and your book was waiting on my front porch. Looks very professionally done, as good as any major publisher. I'll let you know when I get to dig through it. Congrats on this accomplishment. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Batesmotel Posted April 6, 2022 Share Posted April 6, 2022 I have stories from the Marines but these are epic. How are we still a world power? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gunboat1 Posted April 6, 2022 Author Share Posted April 6, 2022 Thank you so much! Unfortunately, we are an empire in precipitous decline. Unless we get our act together, stamp out the PC/diversity obsession and focus on individual liberty and accountability for misbehavior, we are doomed to failure. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some time ago you wrote “The Lions of the Mara”. I saved it July 18, 2021. You said you had written it about five years earlier. If anything the situation continues to deteriorate it appears. Biden’s handlers have put the petrodollar at risk of being dethroned as the world’s reserve currency. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The current (ILLEGITIMATE) regime is hurtling down the path to that dystopian nightmare at breakneck speed. Hard times coming. Thanks for remembering that earlier primal scream of protest. That's very gratifying. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gunboat1 Posted June 10, 2022 Author Share Posted June 10, 2022 For the information of all hands: forty years ago today I graduated from University and received my commission in the US Navy. That is all. 😹 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
