---- About Tall Tale TV ----
Hi there! My name is Chris Herron and I'm an audiobook narrator. In 2015, I suffered from poor Type 1 diabetes control which lead me to become legally blind for almost a year. The doctors didn't give me much hope, predicting an 80% chance that I would never see again. But I refused to give up and changed my lifestyle drastically. Through sheer willpower (and an amazing eye surgeon) I beat the odds and regained my vision.
During that difficult time, I couldn't read or write, which was devastating as they had always been a source of comfort for me since childhood. However, my wife took me to the local library where she read out the titles of audiobooks to me. I selected some of my favorite books, such as the Disc World series, Name of the Wind, Harry Potter, and more, and the audiobooks brought these stories to life in a way I had never experienced before. They helped me through the darkest period of my life and I fell in love with audiobooks.
Once I regained my vision, I decided to pursue a career as an audiobook narrator instead of a writer. That's why I created Tall Tale TV, to support aspiring authors in the writing communities that I had grown to love before my ordeal. My goal was to help them promote their work by providing a promotional audio short story that showcases their writing skills to readers. They say the strongest form of advertising is word of mouth, so I offer a platform for readers to share these videos and help spread the word about these talented writers.
Please consider sharing these stories with your friends and family to support these amazing authors. Thank you!

Re-Runs ep.709 Have you ever had one of those "Huh, I remember that differently" moments?
Evan Davis is an emerging author with an overactive imagination, which explains how he got here and why you're reading this – which is great. Fiction being his first love, he's written everything from bone-chilling horror to science fiction misadventures, bellyaching humor to thrilling fantasy, and every colorful dot in between.

He's gotten lost in Europe, been a 6' 4” street acrobat, has technically transported explosives internationally, has DJ'd a wedding or two, and now lives happily in Northern California scribbling about wonderful what-if's.

His work can be found with Third Flatiron Publishing, the NIGHTLIGHT podcast, Flame Tree Publishing, The NoSleep Podcast, Bards and Sages, Quill & Crow Publishing, and others; plus a blog he occasionally updates (thelightofday.blog).
