An Audiobook Update

A brief update on my audiobooks. After many months of hard work (it took me longer to produce the audiobook version than it did to write and edit the novel in the first place), The Beacon is now available, though not yet everywhere. My other audiobooks are now available in many more places, and at far more reasonable prices, than they were.
