I just received - and have been listening to - the new unabridged Blackstone audio book of Free Man of Color. Although it makes me feel VERY strange to hear my own writing read out loud by somebody else, it's a lovely recording. Ron Butler has a pleasant voice to listen to - I'm not a judge of audio recordings, but this one impresses me.

It appears to be available from Amazon - $13.99, and less if you get a trial with Audible (which I don't have) - it isn't really clear to me how that works. It looks like they've done Fever Season as well (which I haven't got on disc yet) - supposedly they will eventually do the first eleven of the series (Free Man, Fever Season, Graveyard Dust, Sold Down the River, Die Upon a Kiss, Wet Grave, Days of the Dead [one of my favorites of the series], Dead Water, Dead and Buried, The Shirt On His Back [another of my absolute favorites], and Ran Away - at least that's my understanding, off the top of my head. No idea of the scheduling on any of those, and of course everything is taking much longer these days.

But, I'm very pleased.

AND, George's book "Fire in the Sun" is on special from Open Road Media - digital, US and Canada, $2.99, this Sunday, Dec. 6th.
