You had a wake-up call and you took it. Congrats on that! Many would've just tossed it aside and just returned to their comfort zone.

Interesting career choice, as an audiobook producer. I've been writing for a while but I haven't explored this option. Somehow I feel that when somebody narrates the book, less info will stick in your mind. But that's just a prejudice I guess.

Anyway, thanks for sharing your story!
