I don’t rate to be on this list
I was floored today when one of Audible’s staff alerted me that I had been “selected to be part of the Audible’s ‘Fall Books Preview’ — a promotion that highlights soon-to-be-released books our Editors are most excited for.”
Only twenty books were promoted with cover images, and that list of twenty included Stephen King, John Grisham, James Patterson, Karin Slaughter, Lee Child, Vince Flynn, Tom Clancy, Janet Evanovich, David Baldacci, and Michael Connelly. Oh, and Stan R. Mitchell.
Are you kidding me?! lol
Wow. Just wow.
Here are the images exactly as they’re highlighted. (I’m correctly placed on the last row!)
New Stand-Alone Books
Our Favorite Heroes Return
Our Favorite Heroines Return
More New Mysteries & Thrillers
New from Audible Studios
Here’s the link to the landing page, which looks even more impressive than what I’ve displayed above because the book covers are four wide instead of two. The Audible employee said the fall promo would be used on the Audible homepage, their targeted email list, facebook page, twitter, and other forms of outreach.
I’m still a little too stunned to say more, but I wanted to thank each and every one of my fans and friends who took a chance on me and have supported me with your reviews and word of mouth when my name most certainly wasn’t making lists such as this.
If I’m ever famous, I’m going to find a way to thank my early supporters who stood by my side when there was nothing to gain by doing so!
Oh, and while I’m at it, let me hit you with a few quick other updates.
First, Afghan Storm should be done in October. (For those that don’t know, this is the third book in the Nick Woods series.)
Second, I’m making pretty good progress on my second Little Man book, and have much of it outlined.
Third, I’ve started a new detective/police series that I think will blow you guys away. : )
I know I’m probably dreaming, but the members of Mitchell’s Militia who have been here from the beginning know that I’m crazy ambitious, and it’s my honest-to-goodness, crazy goal to have the second Little Man book and the new detective/police book done by the end of the year.
Keep the faith,
Stan R. Mitchell
