Who is AJ Sherwood?

Under an hour, and a title about bath bombs being outlawed. AJ Sherwood is plainly not writing solemn epic fantasy here, and the short form is doing deliberate work: a single comic premise, taken seriously enough to be funny.

We know this author only through the recording, which is where our confidence ends. The piece places Sherwood in light fantasy and science fiction, in the short format that has become one of the quiet pleasures of audio: a story sized to a walk rather than a holiday.

Kirk Griffin narrates the fifty-five minutes. Comic timing in audio belongs almost entirely to the reader, and a piece this brief gives a narrator nowhere to hide, so the performance is a large part of what you are choosing.

Feedback so far is positive but thin, which is entirely normal for something new and short. As a low-commitment way to try an unfamiliar author, it is hard to beat. The audiobooks below make that easy.
