My Week Started With

Winter Visitor

My week started with a long chat with Elizabeth Ashby, the audiobook narrator for my Over Where series (Library of the Sapphire Wind, Aurora Borealis Bridge, and House of Rough Diamonds).  In the course of our chat, she mentioned that Library of the Sapphire Wind is up from preorder and due for release on February 13, 2024.

This is particularly wonderful, as the novel begins at a book club meeting on Valentine’s Day—that’s right!  February 14th.

The audiobook is being produced by Trantor, but will be available from various vendors, including Audible. 

I hope to interview Elizabeth Ashby sometime soon, not only about her experiences reading my books, but about the great wide world of audiobook narration.  Look for this in a future WW!

Jim and I are also in the final proofing stage of the new audiobook of The Buried Pyramid.  This one will take a while because, well, proofing secret messages takes a while because they’re cryptic.  And I’ve enlisted Jim because authors are the worst people to proof their own work, and for this one I really need an extra set of eyes.

Meanwhile, I’m still doing lots of PT for my shoulder, but trying to find time to work on OW4.  Sometimes the two jobs don’t work well together, as typing can get to my shoulder.  Yes, I can write longhand and often do, but eventually my scrawl needs to be turned into something someone else can read.  Thanks to the PT exercises, I can type for a while without pain, for which I am immensely grateful.

The beginning of the year also sees a lot of paperwork, so I’m having to set aside some time for that as well.

Hope this finds you well and reading on!
