… with a twinkle in its eye.
Authors and publishers entrust their books to me and I treat each book with the respect it deserves. But that doesn’t mean I take myself seriously. There are times when it’s impossible to NOT laugh, mostly at myself. The YouTube clip at the right is an example of “Mr Eloquent” getting his tongue damn near permanently tied around a word that’s really not all that difficult to say.

Strong, positive voice which commanded a great book like this one.
Jim Seybert obviously understands the content before reading. I’m drawn in by his style and forget that he is not the author. I feel like he’s taking the time to speak directly to me — as in a conversation.
Jim Seybert … threw himself into the narration. Not once did I sense that he was reading a book. It was like he was just telling me the advice, making it up as he went. That’s how smooth the reading was. Right on cue, Jim became a confident authoritarian.
As a first-time author Jim not only provided an absolutely accurate and powerful narration , but he took all of the pressure off of publishing an audiobook by educating me on the whole process. You will be able to tell he loves his work.
