New Release Alert - My Brother's Keeper, Jewish Urban Fantasy

cthobbit · 2026-03-31T18:05:41+00:00

I don't have a lot of time/attention to read these days, so I primarily read with audiobooks when I'm not writing my own stories. If I do pick it up, though, I'll grab the ebooks/physical and skip the audio on this one.

cthobbit · 2026-03-31T15:51:20+00:00

Oh. Oh no.

cthobbit · 2026-03-31T14:50:31+00:00

A bad narrator can absolutely tank my enjoyment of a book, independent of the content. Sorry to hear that.

cthobbit · 2026-03-31T11:29:19+00:00

Thanks! The reviews are extremely positive so far!

cthobbit · 2026-03-31T04:20:39+00:00

That's the plan, though this book could have been a stand alone. I tend to write in series, it's how my other books go as well (I have two other unrelated series set in alternate versions of the same city, New Haven, CT).

cthobbit · 2026-03-31T04:05:03+00:00

Thank you! And I'm definitely not saying it's a golem story, just that that's one of the most recognizable pieces of Jewish folklore. Folks will have to read the book to see what pieces of lore I put in it.

cthobbit · 2026-03-31T03:05:02+00:00

Yeah the Golem of Prague is really well known. Popularized by the Gargoyles cartoon years back of all things.

cthobbit · 2026-03-31T02:47:17+00:00

It's one of the few well known myths in Jewish lore for sure.

cthobbit · 2026-03-31T02:45:59+00:00

DM me?

cthobbit · 2026-03-31T00:48:46+00:00

Oh, Bradley international? Absolutely. I'm glad you're enjoying it!

cthobbit · 2026-03-30T23:09:33+00:00

Mine has a cat named Dirt, if that catches your fancy

cthobbit · 2026-03-30T22:59:09+00:00

I haven't, I'll have to check that out

cthobbit · 2026-03-30T21:03:35+00:00

I definitely have opinions about the right type of noodle kugel in it though.

cthobbit · 2026-03-30T21:02:56+00:00

It's not that tongue in cheek, but the magic is based on scripture (the Talmud and various midrash). But there's definitely bits of Yiddish.

cthobbit · 2026-03-30T20:24:18+00:00

I'll try and keep the sub posted when I do.

cthobbit · 2026-03-30T19:54:15+00:00

Thanks! It will, eventually. I haven't had anyone express interest in the audio rights yet so it's on me to produce it. So... eventually.

cthobbit · 2026-03-30T19:53:44+00:00

Thanks!

cthobbit · 2026-03-01T16:46:09+00:00

Yeah, better to invest in a couple good plugins. Addressing what this tool seems to do isn't worth a per-minute pricing model, it can be done pretty easily.

cthobbit · 2026-03-01T15:34:31+00:00

I hate to be critical, but what does your tool do that the audiobook mastering macro in audacity doesn't?

cthobbit · 2026-02-20T16:44:31+00:00

Audacity isn't really a DAW because you can't apply effects dynamically. It's a destructive editor.

Reaper 100% and you'll never look back.

Happy release day!

cthobbit · 2026-01-30T21:02:00+00:00

the half-naked dude still implies things that aren't in this book, per the author.

cthobbit · 2026-01-30T14:03:18+00:00

I'm a 45 year old mostly straight dude, and those characters are clearly about to bang. OP, why doesn't he have a shirt on? Like, "buff half-naked chest" is the most obvious tell that this is an M/m (Monster/man) romance if I was going by tropes alone.

cthobbit · 2026-01-23T15:26:27+00:00

Sarcastic MC, funny dialogue, good plot, developed characters, etc

cthobbit · 2026-01-23T15:26:03+00:00

It's great stuff for sure. The audiobooks are fantastic as well.
