My boys both listen to audio books frequently - especially my oldest - though he is more a scifi guy. Thank you for these books!! I am just about to pick up your latest to finish the series so far - but I am so sad to have to wait til next year for the next installment .... I am anxious to see how you will write them as married and what their relationship will finally come out to be.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07784098364857794580noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27125272.post-48617612803810683712011-07-06T09:20:48.474-05:002011-07-06T09:20:48.474-05:00Rue, I have no say at all in the selection of the ...Rue, I have no say at all in the selection of the narrator, so I am feeling VERY lucky they chose someone who is as well respected as Porter.

Do you have any "say" in who will narrate your book(s)? I think the narrator is VERY IMPORTANT, a bad narrator can ruin a story! Can't wait to give your story(ies) "a listen"!Ruehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02098713517349686478noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27125272.post-70635385626025116822011-07-05T12:02:16.820-05:002011-07-05T12:02:16.820-05:00Sarah, my husband puts books on his iPod, too, and...Sarah, my husband puts books on his iPod, too, and listens as he putters out in the garage and around the yard.

I need to try it again with an author I know I like.<br /><br />Steve, thank you.<br /><br />Sabena, that's funny about Byson's book. I wonder how many people did that? As for Audible, I had thought that they'd bought one of the earlier books, but nothing seems to have come of it. I'm not sure that two different companies will bring out the same book. Do you know if they do? I freely admit to a certain ignorance on this subject.<br /><br />Faith, do you ever select a book because of the reader? I know Steve will not listen to a book if he knows from experience he doesn't like the reader. <br /><br />Essex, I suspect if I did a lot of driving I might be more interested in them--although I think if I got TOO interested I'd be a hazard on the road. I had to stop listening to some Arabic language CDs after Katrina because I was concentrating too hard and not paying attention to my driving!cs harrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13708705800818667923noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27125272.post-81500441780498811122011-07-05T11:25:52.734-05:002011-07-05T11:25:52.734-05:00SOOOOOO excited!!!!

I am not sure why, but one factor is definitely that I just love the act of actually reading. My favorite afternoon activity is to have a cup of tea, a fuzzy blanket, and a good book( electronic or paper!) There is a huge market for audio books, so getting Sebastian out on audio is a big coup.

It's a wonderful distraction from driving. <br /><br />As soon as I saw the cover with D. Porter's name I laughed because I am halfway thru listening to the Outlander series. I think I'd listen to almost anything read by her. Hopefully other people feel the same way.

Do you know if they will be selling it to other audio book companies? I ask because we are members of "audible" and would love to get it through there. Also, I had asked before about possible audible books for your Tobi and Jax series. Will they ever become audible books?
