I’m very pleased to announce that I’ll very shortly have an audio version of my book, Blood Soup available!
It’s a short novel, and the timetable is happening so quick, that it’s likely it will be available from Audible (and elsewhere) by the end of February!
I’m even more tickled to announce that the reader is none other than Edoardo Camponeschi of menestrandise.com who has read so far the first three of Christopher Paolini’s “Inheritance Cycle” books to much acclaim.
When I submitted the book for audition, I requested someone who could read with both Italian and German accents since the two warring families in Blood Soup are modeled after Italy and Germany. I am (indescribably) excited that Edoardo submitted an audition. His voice is rich and luscious, and I know his reading will bring the story to life.
If you want a sneak preview of what the reading may sound like, check out Edoardo’s catalog which features many samples of his work — all in Italian at this time. I could listen for hours. 🙂 My Italian is rusty, but I’m feeling a definite need to brush up…
Do let me know if you’re as excited as I. In the meantime, I’ll work on getting the cover reformatted for Audible…
Kelly, that’s great news! Congratulations! How wonderful that it’s happening so fast. Having read “Blood Soup” I agree that it’s short, so that should be good for audio listeners who might be listening to books as they commute. And as you said, it’s amazing how a spoken story related by a captivating voice can really bring the characters and their world to life. I’m excited for you!
Thanks, Steve! It is *very* exciting.
And having taken the plunge, I feel pretty certain I’ll be able to have an audio book to accompany my new novel coming out in May. (2014 is starting out on a high note! I hope I can keep up the momentum.)
