If you are an author who is thinking of launching a podcast ... if you are an author who has started a podcast and is struggling to keep it afloat ... if you are an author on the brink of \"podfading\" and losing the hard-won benefits you can gain from this popular and intimate format -- then this book is for you.

Matty Dalrymple, The Indy Author, shares her learnings from her years hosting and producing The Indy Author Podcast. Tapping nautical metaphors to explore the stages of creating a podcast, THE INDY AUTHOR'S GUIDE TO PODCASTING FOR AUTHORS will guide you through determining your destination, preparing for your voyage, and setting sail. Matty discusses the benefits podcasting offers to authors specifically, and the specific challenges authors might need to overcome to succeed in this medium.

Questions posed at the end of each chapter prompt insights to be captured in your own Captain's Log, enabling you to note progress, acknowledge mistakes, and celebrate successes on your voyage.

This is not merely a manual of technical requirements, although those are covered at a high level in the book and in more detail at The Indy Author website. This is a foundational resource you can pick up again and again, one that will serve as your guide as you steer your podcast through its voyage and, when a course correction is needed, will provide the strategies and tactics you need to adjust your bearing.

Annalise Phipps and her butler are the only inhabitants of a deteriorating Philadelphia Main Line mansion, and each year, Annalise celebrates her wedding anniversary with a conversation over dinner with her late husband.

When a reluctant guest arrives on a snowy Valentine’s Day, an evening of eerie remembrance unfolds. Each chime of the clock and flicker of candlelight evokes memories from the past and blurs the line between the living and the dead.

With expertly crafted suspense, this story interweaves the supernatural and human longing, creating a tension-filled atmosphere culminating in an unforgettable dinner party and a poignant dialogue between the seen and the unseen.

An Ann Kinnear Suspense Short from Matty Dalrymple, author of the Ann Kinnear Suspense Novels, including Book 1: THE SENSE OF DEATH.

Childhood memories flood Ann Kinnear as she enters St. Andrew's on the night before Easter. But this time, she's a hired hand with a mysterious assignment. When she learns what that assignment is, she's pretty sure she's not the person ordained for the job--but she finds her shaky confidence in human nature bolstered by the tale that unfolds against a backdrop of misplaced guilt and the true meaning of faithfulness.

Not a traditional Easter story ... and likely not the right pick for readers looking for Christian lit!

Architect Roy Mackie's life is turned upside down when his twin brother Raymond passes away. As he tries to come to terms with his loss, his well-ordered life begins to come unraveled. A rare bottle of wine is found empty and discarded, and Roy doesn't remember drinking it. Personal items are found rooms away from where he's sure--almost sure--he left them. When Roy's son begins to question his father's sanity, Roy turns to the only person who can help: Ann Kinnear.

What Ann learns is not what she or Roy expected, and they join forces with a pair of charitable benefactors to defend Roy against the forces conspiring against him.

When Ann Kinnear agrees to help a grieving widow find closure at the site of a ballroom dance class turned crime scene, she expects the familiar weight of sorrow. What she doesn’t expect is the sinister presence that still lingers in the shattered studio.

As Latin music echoes across the empty floorboards and memories of the massacre seep through every mirror shard and bloodstain, Ann confronts more than one restless spirit—some yearning for love, others for vengeance. With danger pressing in from both the living and the dead, she must summon her courage to navigate a waltz of grief, obsession, and rage.

Set against the eerie backdrop of the so-called Dance Hall Massacre, \"Our Dancing Days\" entwines psychological tension, supernatural menace, and the claustrophobic dread of a haunted space that refuses to give up its secrets.

Perfect for fans of dark suspense, gothic atmosphere, and supernatural thrillers, this Ann Kinnear short pulls you into a story of love lost, promises broken, and spirits who will not rest.

For Ann Kinnear, an all-expenses-paid cruise should have been the perfect working vacation—until she learns her assignment is to confront the lingering echoes of two passengers who jumped to their deaths from the very stateroom she now occupies.

As storm winds buffet the ship and darkness presses close on the open sea, Ann discovers that not every haunting is about sorrow. Some spirits bring with them a suffocating despair, manipulative charm, and a terrifying insistence that the living join them. Trapped between relentless waves and a ghost with unfinished business, Ann must summon every ounce of courage to resist being pulled into a deadly chain of obsession and self-destruction.

With its atmospheric setting aboard a luxury liner turned claustrophobic prison, \"Sea of Troubles\" delivers supernatural menace, psychological tension, and the dread of being isolated with forces far stronger than the sea itself.

Perfect for readers who love suspense steeped in gothic isolation, ghostly encounters, and the unnerving sense that a single wrong step could prove fatal.

NOTE: This short story was written for an anthology that encouraged profanity. You have been forewarned. : )

Ann Kinnear has dealt with plenty of unsettled spirits, but this may be her first gig with a ghost who demands a spotlight.

When a scrappy cover band hires Ann to make contact with their late drummer, she finds herself in a dive bar where the décor is questionable, the egos are outsized, and the supernatural stage effects are way too real. From levitating instruments to unsolicited fashion critiques, Lucian the drummer isn’t content to fade quietly into the afterlife—he’s ready to headline.

What begins as a séance with a backbeat spirals into a riot of insults and pyrotechnics. And as the tension builds, Ann has to wonder: is she keeping the peace between the living and the dead, or just managing the worst band breakup in history.

With its sharp mix of supernatural thrills and laugh-out-loud banter, \"Stage of Fools\" proves that sometimes death really is the ultimate gig.

Ann Kinnear is no stranger to helping the living find peace with the dead—but a commission on a remote Maine island brings her into far more treacherous waters than she expects.

Her task: deliver a husband’s urgent message to his late wife, celebrated artist Allison Niedermeier. But in the solitude of Mizzen Island—where waves crash against the shore, secrets linger in the shadows, and grief has twisted into something darker—Ann soon realizes that the truth is far murkier than the story she has been told.

When messages from beyond begin to surface in ways both eerie and undeniable, Ann must uncover what really happened on the night Allison disappeared … and decide how far she is willing to go to protect the living from the fallout of the dead.

With its windswept island setting, haunting revelations, and taut emotional undercurrents, \"Write in Water\" is a suspenseful tale of love, betrayal, and the echoes that remain long after life’s final brushstroke.

Halloween should be all about costumes, candy, and pranks—but for Ann Kinnear, the real tricks are waiting in the dark.

When classic car collector Russell Caldwell hires Ann to look into a string of increasingly unsettling pranks, it’s clear he doesn’t put much stock in her supposed ability to connect with the spirit world. Ann suspects bored teenagers, but it’s a paying job, and she steels herself for a long night in the cold garage at the back of Russell's property.

What she finds instead is that the line between trick and threat—and between the living and the dead—can be perilously thin.

\"More Than a Jest\" is perfect for readers who enjoy paranormal mystery, supernatural suspense, and eerie tales with a Halloween twist. Fans of Simone St. James and Barbara Michaels will savor this clever, unsettling addition to the Ann Kinnear Suspense Shorts.
