I am excited to try it! Could you add a prebuilt release? Would it be possible to post a sample output so people can judge for themselves whether they would like the quality available?

Yes I do have prebuilt rolling releases. Since they are categorized as draft releases, GitHub hides them by default, but they are there and should work fine: https://github.com/C-Loftus/QuickPiperAudiobook/releases/

Examples of Piper generally can be found at https://rhasspy.github.io/piper-samples/ , and I added my program can be found at https://github.com/C-Loftus/QuickPiperAudiobook/tree/master/...

I added this info in the readme for you and anyone else that could benefit from it.

I could not find anything at the on the releases page (https://github.com/C-Loftus/QuickPiperAudiobook/releases/)

This is what I see: https://imgur.com/screenshot-PqmyqhT

Do I need a GitHub account to see the draft releases?

Sorry, apparently draft releases are private. I didn't realize that. Added an auto release. Here it is: https://github.com/C-Loftus/QuickPiperAudiobook/releases/tag...
