Audiobook!

 

Alright!

I am so very pleased to write that the audiobook for the Harem Nights Omnibus is officially underway!

I advertised the project on ACX, the website used to create audiobooks, hoping I would catch the eye of a narrator, and continued working on my current project. Sure enough, I got an email informing me someone had submitted an audio audition while I was at work, so I couldn't wait to get home and hear it.

The audition was by a Mr. Michael Beckett, and to be blunt, it blew me away. I listened to the audition a number of times, purely out of sheer enjoyment, before offering him the job. Of course, he accepted and began working on the project. 

Part of the process of recording an audiobook on ACX involves the narrator submitting the first fifteen minutes before continuing, so the writer can approve. Michael submitted it Friday evening (UK time) and I listened to it first thing this morning (Saturday) and was, again, blown away. At the time of writing this, he's now working on the rest of the project.

It's stuff like this that makes being an independent author fun. Hearing another creative's take on your work is something of a thrill, especially when you look forward to hearing what he does with the characters further into the story. And, already, when I'm thinking of future projects, a little part of me is wondering what Michael could do with them.

More updates will follow on this, but for anyone interested, Michael has narrated another book, A Knife in the Dark. You can find it here. I've already added it to my wishlist. Do pick it up, you'll be supporting an independent author and narrator.

My First Omnibus.

 

So, this announcement is a little late, and I apologise for that.

I was going to wait a little longer before releasing this collection so I could pay to advertise it properly, but such is life that other things needed paying for. So, I quietly released the book and made a mental note to announce it via this blog.

You can see how that worked out.

I began writing another book, something of a passion project, while Niven's War is being edited. It is something I've been brewing for a while and wanted to get it out of my head while all the mental images were still fresh. I realised the other day that I had forgotten to write about the release of, you guessed it, my first omnibus.

The Harem Nights trilogy did quite well for me and I wanted to do a collected edition of them for some time. I'd seen many other authors do it with their works, now it was my turn. But, I didn't want to just release them at a discounted price with a new cover, so I have included the short prologue story Final Days, which was previously available as a free download for my email subscribers.

As I said, the omnibus' release was a quiet one. But, upon checking my sales dashboard, I was pleased to see it had sold a handful of copies already, which was nice. Advertising is something I need to work on, but it's awesome to know there are people out there paying attention for new releases. For those people, I offer my sincerest gratitude. Stick around. Hopefully, you'll still be enjoying the ride.
