Audio Version of Paranormal Urban Fantasy They All Died Smiling by Ronda Del Boccio in the Works!

Especially as a blind person, I want my book They All Died Smiling available as an audiobook via Audible and the Library of Congress NLS National Library Service for the Blind and Physically Handicapped. Finding a great reader proved to be a fun challenge.

Since I'm with a publisher, The Wild Rose Press, they handled the process of getting auditions. I reviewed the vocal talent and made the ultimate decision.

I provided a short sample for the contenders, perhaps two pages. I chose 2 different parts of the book, so I could assess how each reader handled the different emotional tones, as well as both the mundane and supernatural content.

In Sech of the Voice of Kassidy

The first reader could have bored paint right off the walls. She had no sense of my heroine, Kassidy. The second grated on my ears.

The email from my publisher accompanying each audition advised me not to expect the reader to sound like the voice in my head. I didn't. However, the whole book is told from Kassidy's point of view, from insider her head and her experience. So Kassidy needed to sound...well...like Kassidy.

A third audition landed in my email box, as per the norm, late at night on a Friday. I hoped this could be "the one."

Much to my glee, I found my Kassidy. This reader did a great job on the sample, so I gave the go-ahead to accept her.

Chapter One.

Last weekend, I received a partial chapter. I could hardly wait to hear it, because I knew I had found MY Kassidy. I clicked play and listened. I couldn't possibly stay in my seat as I listened, even though I sit at my desk on a ball.

Bouncing wasn't enough to express my glee. I danced around the room, whooping and clapping in places. My Diva dog brought me a toy and joined in hte festivities.

I don't know when the book will be finished, but I'll keep you posted!

Cheers to your #BlissfulLife!
