    About Hollywood Hustle

    Winston Greene, a has-been film star, wakes one morning to find his six-year-old granddaughter at his bedside—traumatized, unattended, and gripping onto a thumb drive. She comes bearing video proof that her mother, Win’s troubled adult daughter, has been kidnapped by a murderous gang demanding all his “movie money” for her safe return. But what they don’t know is…his movie money is long gone.

    Listen up for another great episode of the Where Do Gays Retire? podcast with host Mark Goldstein. It’s perfect timing for me, since my last day at the part-time job is next Wednesday. More time for LGBTSr, more time for writing, more time for everything. How does anyone have time for a job?

    Enjoy Mark’s conversation with Jim Hanson, who fills us in on life in DC, Maryland, and Virginia.

    He was born in Pensacola, Florida in 1965 and raised in a military family. By the time he graduated from high school in 1983 in Newport News, Virginia, he had attended 9 different elementary and secondary schools. He can legitimately say he has lived in Texas, Oklahoma, Kansas, Florida, Georgia, South Carolina, North Carolina, Virginia, Washington D.C., New York, Germany and now Maryland. Until he moved to the Washington metro area in 1989, he had never lived in one town/city for more than 3 years.

    Mark McNease Mysteries Podcast #48: Final Audition – A Marshall James Thriller, Narrated by AI (3 Chapter Sample)

    Just … wow. I had no intention of using AI to narrate my writing, but I tried it with ElevenLabs, and I love it. I’ll be able to use this for my blog posts, my fiction and non-fiction writing, you name it. Will it replace working narrators? I hope not. But I would otherwise have narrated this myself. It saves an enormous amount of time, and the technology is stunning. The glitches are very few, and only with tone and emphasis, not on the words themselves. So … enjoy this three-chapter sample of Final Audition: A Marshall James Thriller, narrated by the robot Josh.
