Audio book sales have become the real boom area of publishing. I've seen it with my own work, and it's wonderful. Most of my mysteries have become audio books, and I just signed a contract to make one of my Regency romances, the Viscount's Valentine, into an audio book.
But wonderful news...
A Gentlewoman's Guide to Murder is coming out in audiobook form on April 9th from Tantor, who does all of my mystery novels!Click here to pre-order: A Gentlewoman's Guide to Murder
And the special, really neat thing about this is... I was given the extraordinary opportunity to choose my own narrator/voice actress!
I was very deliberate about it... I went through Tantor's audio books and listened to clips... it was a little bit of a Goldilocks moment... one's timber of voice was too light, one too low, one too brisk. And then...
And then I listened to a clip of Heather Wilds voicing the awesomely talented Anna Lee Huber's The Anatomist's Wife, and I knew... she was the one!
But would she be available? Would she WANT to do it? And then I got the word... she was available, and she did want to do it!
And now, as publication day approaches... I'm afraid to listen to the sample. I don't know why, but it always makes me nervous. So... could someone have a listen and tell me how it sounds?? LOL.
