Listen to Shielding Ember now! 🎧
Happy AUDIO release week for Shielding Ember!
Yes, the audio releases this week and you can get your listen on!
Every release, I have people complaining about the audio being released before the ebook. So I wanted to explain WHY I do that.
Usually audio listeners have to wait months and years for the audio of their favorite authors to release. That's because it's very expensive to produce an audio book, and (of course) you have to have the manuscript done to send to the narrators months ahead of time. Because of the cost, many authors can't afford to have their books put in audio at all.
Because I am "ahead" in my writing schedule I'm able to get the narration done in time to have the audio released around the same time as the ebook. But to reward my loyal audio listeners, and to give them a "gift", I release the audio a week before the ebook.
I know it can be disappointing to wait an extra week for the ebook if you aren't an audio person, but think about how disappointing it would be to have to wait YEARS to get the book in your preferred format, or not to get it at all! Also, there is such a thing as an "audible first" where the audio comes out 6 months before the ebook. There might be a chance in the future I do that, or use some other platform to deliver my books before the ebook. It's all to try to gain more readers, to try to bring more people over to the Stoker-Zone. HA!
I try my best to please everyone, but it's literally impossible. Some love Kindle Unlimited, some hate it. Some of my books are on all platforms, others aren't. I wish my paperbacks were in every store you walked into, but they aren't. It's just a part of doing business in this crazy book world.
ANYWAY...so...Shielding Ember is out in Audio! I'm mailing the paperbacks that were ordered through my online store this week as well. And next week the story will be available on ALL the ebook platforms. I hope you love Doc and Ember as much as I do. She's kick butt and I wish I was more like her. And Doc...well, you know, he's a Stoker Hero so he's protective, alpha, and ALL about Ember.
Read on. Be Kind. And always remember that you're stronger than anything life might throw your way!
