Awesome Audible.com

Do you belong to Audible.com? I have for years. Their selection is great, and I adore listening to audible “books on tape” (or, rather, on my iPod, etc.) while I’m doing dishes or working out. My husband and I always embark on a long road-trip with a good selection of audio books to listen to. 

And now: Audible has just put aside a pot-full of money to reward authors — yes, authors. (Yay!)

For example, I, as author, will be rewarded if you sign up for an audible.com account, and if one of the first 3 audible books you buy is mine. (Do it!)

Seriously, you might want to consider because the audio edition of Mistress of the Sun (which is excellent, by the way) has been reduced from $40 to only $7.50. 

If you are already a member of Audible.com, and you buy this cheap $7.50 audio edition—Think Mother’s Day!—I, as author, will be rewarded $1 for each copy sold. (This is above and beyond royalties, etc.) Needless-to-say, this is sweet. 

For those of you who have audible editions of your books on Audible.com, you can easily sign up at Audible.com Author Services. They have also, interestingly enough, put together excellent guides on how to promote you audible books. 

I wish this program extended to Canadian readers & listeners, and — more than anything — I sorely wish that my publishers would put out an audio edition of the Josephine B. Trilogy. (Believe me, this is on my To-Be-Discussed list.) 

For my beloved Canadian readers, the same recording is available on Amazon.ca. (Although for $15.75 — sorry about that.)
