Click for audio version. Narration by WondervoxAI.
By Mark McNease
The arrival of spring is a welcome sight for gardeners everywhere. After the long winter months, it’s time to get outside and start planting your garden. Not only can you enjoy the beauty of nature as new plants bloom but you can also reap the rewards of fresh produce in your own backyard! Planting a garden in spring is an ideal way to celebrate the season and experience all its bounty.
One of the best parts about gardening in spring is that there are so many different types of plants that thrive during this time of year. Vegetables such as tomatoes, peppers, squash, cucumbers and beans do especially well when planted early on in springtime. Herbs like basil, thyme and oregano will add flavor to whatever dish you decide to cook up with your harvest while flowers like roses, daisies and tulips will bring vibrant colors into any outdoor space.

Bethlehem Steels the Show: A Day Trip to the SteelStacks, Wind Creek Casino, and the Historic Bethlehem District
Mark McNease
I had some awareness of Bethlehem, PA, mostly because of the casino, now called Wind Creek Bethlehem. But a friend recently told us about her visit to the SteelStacks, complete with a tour of the magnificent rusting behemoth of the Bethlehem Steel plant, and we decided to make a day trip of it. It’s only about a 50 minute drive from our home, so it was easy, and very well worth it. It was the perfect definition of a one-day getaway. We walked over 20,000 steps (each, not combined!), as we strolled along the walkway abutting the massive factory, headed to the casino, then back and over the river to the north side of Bethlehem. There is a south side and we’re saving that for next time!

My Date with AI: Some Words About Self-Publishing from My Ghost Writer Robot
Audio narration by WondervoxAI
I embrace technology, and new advances mean new creative opportunities for me. This includes the AI/synthetic voice narration through my WondervoxAi venture (using Eleven Labs). All of my Mark McNease on Topic Substacks now include audio supplements narrated by androids, and the audiobook edition of my latest book, Final Audition: A Marshall James Thriller, is coming out with AI narration so good you’ll be challenged to tell the difference. I’m also embracing AI writing. It’s the future, and it’s here now.
Everything changes. Authors can self-publish. Musicians don’t need labels. Everybody streams. And I invite technological change into my create-o-sphere because it keeps me challenged and it’s exciting to the imaginative mind. In that vein … here is an article about self-publishing that was just written using Jasper, and it was born fully formed within minutes. Fear not, stay on the tip, explore and expand with exuberance. – The Real Mark
