Nan asked Scott McCormick:

Did you have as much fun recording this as it seems? The style and sound effects reminded me a lot of Frank Peritti's Mr Henry series. Bravo!

Scott McCormick I am unfamiliar with the Mr. Henry series but just listened to a sample. I hear what you mean. I dig the recording style.

I was not part of the recording of this book or the sequel. My editor was there for both and she said the cast had a blast. (I have a few pics of this session on my website www.scottmccormickonline.com.) For this book, each cast member recorded his or her part separately. Book two has a lot more dialog and features 14 actors. Some of them were recorded separately, but they did one big session with 11 actors in the same room. I am told they filmed it, and I can't wait to see that.

My only involvement with the recording for this book was in choosing Mr. Onayemi as the narrator. It's a little weird writing something and just handing it off and not hearing the results until it's done, but honestly, had I been there I probably would have just gotten in the way. I think Audible did a great job. I can't wait to hear Rivals 2.

Thanks for writing!
Scott
