I occasionally have a fan-boy attack over quite a few of the books by author Michael Anderle.

Self Published Success

In 2015 he began writing, and set up a small publishing company to put out some of his work, an Urban Fantasy where paranormal beings are explained by the genetic augmentation of alien species who sent out ships to create genetic warriors for future wars. Our erstwhile Heroine is not having any of that, no thanks! She sets out to protect the earth, and then to go out into space and kick those manipulative alien’s butts out of every planet they have preyed on and beyond.

Bethany-Anne or BA to her friends isn’t offended by swearing, just uncreative swearing, and might want you to do push-ups is she doesn’t approve. With her standing on your back.

“Being an avid reader he knew what other avid readers wanted, that was new books in a series quickly and he delivered with the first 3 books released within days of each other and then a new book about once a month. His first few books were a bit rocky in the editing department but when he discovered how quickly readers became fans of his series he put together a team of an editor, beta readers and cover artists and his releases became top notch.”

The cover artist is an author in his own right, and may not be the greatest, but I listen to these, so don’t ever see them as big as they are here.

Kurtherian Gambit Universe

“A series dedicated to watching how one genetically modified person with an incredible team behind her might be able to change the future, if she can survive along the way.”

He authored the two main ‘arcs’ in the Kurtherian Gambit series himself, a total of 32 books.

He sketched out timelines with many other authors with that Universe, leading to other sub-series at different periods, locations and eras, and collaborated with them.

Some series are more traditional fantasy, sci-fi or urban fantasy.

He has also written into being a number of other universes that other authors have similarly joined in to augment the total canon.

2015, November- Three books
2016, January – Five books
2017 – thirty books, collaborations with 15 other indie authors + some novellas ++
2018- 180+ books and collaborations with other authors and more.
2022-August: Goodreads lists him at 1,511 works published!
and another 4 books since last week, now 1,515

I won’t claim all the sub-series are equally good, some of the authors writing sci-fi aren’t as ‘hard’ as I tend to like my authors.

Audiobooks

I prefer the standard original recordings with Emily Beresford, not the later Graphic Audio ones.

She’s a great narrator, and after each audiobook, the author does a quick note, and then she does her own narrator’s notes.

She becomes quite a fangirl and mentions what she liked or otherwise in what she just read, and also goes into a bit about her process. At one point not too far into the series she tells us she makes individual voice reference files for each character, and that she is already up to 267 (I think, whenever that was).

That’s to me a measure and indicator of her narrating skills.
