Read
Dan Fuller delivers pizza in Brooklyn. One night he stops for a dying man in the gutter, and afterward he can see what lives a half-inch behind the dark. A house of hunters, priests and an archangel wants to know why the oldest rule in the war between Heaven and Hell was broken to kill one man.
Pale Moonlight, Book One is coming as an ebook and a paperback.
Audiobook
The audiobook runs about 11 hours and 15 minutes. It is read in a clone of my own voice, made with my consent, and stores that ask for it carry an AI narration label.
It is going to the audiobook stores that accept AI narration. The links will be here as each store approves it.
Free
How I made all of this is free too. There is no email signup, no course and no paid tier for it. I would rather show you than sell you a class.
The making-of series is 12 short videos in my own voice: why I finished the book, the rules I gave the AI, how I kept 40 characters looking the same, how I cloned my voice, and what it all cost, including what did not work. The first two go up on November 9, and the rest follow on Wednesdays.
If any of it helped, grab the book or keep listening. That is the only ask.
About the AI
I wrote this story before I had kids and have been pecking away at the edits over the last seventeen years. I've been using AI to help teach me how to be a better author, to help me visualize the story, and to create this audio version. I can't draw, and I have severe ADHD, and these tools have helped empower my creativity and keep my mind on track. I did this for me and am sharing it with the world. If you want to support me making the next ones and giving them away, please just buy my stuff. And if you'd like to enjoy an easter egg laden adventure I've assembled within this universe... if, that is... you can figure out how to get in by the seeds our social media sites have been dropping... be my guest.
- The voices in the audio drama are AI-generated. Every episode begins with a spoken notice that says so.
- The audiobook is read by a clone of my voice, with my consent.
- The pictures in the videos are AI-generated.
About
I'm Pierre Arnold III. I wrote Pale Moonlight years ago, and this year I finished it, turned it into an audio drama and an audiobook, and recorded how I did it so anyone can copy the method.
