Exactly! :-) I just listened to the story. *happysigh* I'm trying to pace them, it's only sort of working...

Yes! I'd love to help you and Anne celebrate your birthdays!

[Anne]

Oh, it gets more and more tempting to go and have a joint birthday party. It has to happen!

[Josh]

Anne wrote: "Oh, it gets more and more tempting to go and have a joint birthday party. It has to happen!"

Well, may I simply say that I love birthday parties!

[Johanna]

Oh yes, I would be happy to help celebrating these birthdays! I'll bring balloons and hugs! ;-)

@Josh: I'm sure you are more than welcome to join us... :-)

[KC]

Made note in my calendar, first week of June *dipsfeatherininkwell* birthday party, bring cupcakes and some more hugs too :-)

[Johanna]

@Josh: I love your idea of a Christmas novella collection in print. What a marvelous gift that would make. Maybe some day... :-)

I just started In From the Cold: The I Spy Stories audiobook last night on the way home from work.

Holy sexy voice, Batman! I love it! Josh where do you FIND these guys? And why aren't they better known?

I'm willing to pay for narration, which helps. :-) A lot of authors will only do a royalty share, which seriously limits the pool of available talent.

And as far as paying for talent, I'm willing to take a chance on an unknown. Most authors, if they're going to pay for narration, they want someone with a solid track record.

I figure there are some terrific narrators out there who just haven't yet had a chance to establish themselves.

So far I feel I've been really lucky with my narrators.

Josh wrote: "So far I feel I've been really lucky with my narrators. ..."

Lucky AND discerning choices! :) I am going to love these three books I can already tell.

[Ame]

So I finally cracked.... bought extra credit.... and bought in Sunshine and Shadows.


Kind of a pre reward for my make over on the kitchen....;)

Always a good thing to reward yourself beforehand :). And when you have finished the job you have forgotten the pre reward and can reward yourself again. Genius!

I think also that you very carefully match the narrators to your character. The voices in your head must match mine (that's kinda scary...), since they have all been just perfect.

It sounds to me as though you're making your luck, Josh, by being prepared to cast your net wider, to pay properly, and then taking the time to choose the right man for each book. I know I've already said it often already, but every single book and story of yours has been narrated by the right person. That's not just luck!!

[Ame]

Perfect day almost had me sobbing... I felt so much for Wyatt.

I was slightly surprised with the narrator sounding a bit posher than I had imagined Mark when I was reading. It's okay, I got used to it. :D But I love how weary he sounds! Just perfect for Mark who especially at the start seems mentally as well as physically exhausted.

[Sandra]

I loved Mark's British accent. The narrator did it beautifully.

I just re-listened to THYS (it's been a while) and was laughing out loud at Adrien's humor. One of the funniest lines ever - "I was trapped in a Perry Como Christmas special".

BTW, does he ever go on that great sounding cruise?

[Susinok]

Sandra wrote: ""I was trapped in a Perry Como Christmas special"..."

That Christmas party was sooo funny! Adrien's (and Kit's) dry wit and great lines are even funnier in audio.

With that sexy chick-lit sensibility...

[Carlita]

I adored the reader from the I Spy series. He is wonderful. I'm listening to the Adrien English mysteries again. Adrien and Jake <3

I was just listening to some of Someone Killed His Editor the other day and it is really funny. Kit is hilarious. And Espie makes me laugh a lot in the audio too. :D

Royalty share means you don't pay the narrator anything, but you agree to split the profits from sales of the audio 50/50 for seven years.

And non-royalty share means you pay the narrator up front for their time and work.

For obvious reasons a lot of authors opt for royalty share, and for equally obvious reasons a lot of narrators aren't interested in taking that kind of gamble.

Got it! I am on the last story of the In Sunshine or in Shadow collection, so perfect timing.

[Jordan]

Just listened to the first three short stories and loved them. ISOIS almost left me with happy tears at the very end. Spot on narrating there. And I really enjoyed Perfect Day in audio too. He made me really feel the emotions in the story.

[Jordan]

I just bought DOAPK and for some reason it's not downloading onto my kindle. And when I ask it to sync and check for new titles it says there are none! But the audible app has it listed in my library, I got the confirmation email and Amazon won't let me purchase it again.

Looks like I might have to put it on my slow computer and move it manually to the kindle. Oiy.

Can't wait to start listening!

Got it! ... but we're out of town and the wifi here is too slow... need to wait until we're home tomorrow evening. : (

[Becky]

Downloaded it. Now the question is, do I wait until I finish the one I'm listening to right now?

Or do I start on DOAPK right away and switch between them?

Decisions, decisions!

Waaaah! Running there this instant!
See you later, must go buy Pirate kings...

( for telling us, Susinok!)

Fantastic! Lovely way to start autumn.

If you have the Kindle Keyboard, it will be listed in your Archived Items. Go there and send it to Home.

Last time my daughter was home I downloaded her music to my I-pod, and the other day I discovered Mumford and Son. It's on repeat right now :). Someone here mentioned them I think?

Yep, I think Josh, Johanna, and I, among others, are fans. And I went to an outdoor concert in Taos, NM last June with a daughter and friends. : )

I think I figured it out. I went to my Audible Library and was able to tell it to deliver wirelessly to my device. My problem now, is that work wi-fi is too complicated to sign into just to download a book. When I get home tonight it will automatically download now, I think. Phew! I was scared there for a moment. I need my Jake and Adrien!

I discovered them somewhat recently too. And they are pretty awesome, aren't they?

[Jordan]

Did I mention Gaelic Storm? They're not from Ireland, but I still LOVE their music.

[Valerie]

I've been on a quest recently to discover some new-to-me music. I'm currently obsessed with Jason Isbell's album "Southeastern" and "White Lighter" by Typhoon.

I am also loving Aoife O'Donovan's album "Fossils":

and I've re-discovered "The King is Dead" by The Decemberists. If you like Mumford & Sons you may like the Decemberists.

I've just had three hours driving revelling in DOAPK on audiobook. I'm in love with Jake's voice again! Rumours that I got lost deliberately so as to be on the road longer have been exaggerated.

I don't know, that doesn't sound like a bad plan to me. ;-)

Interesting that you mention them in this order. I see, you've got your priorities straight.

My (usually) 1.5 hours drive yesterday took me suspiciousy longer, too.
