Just saw that Kaje released Into Deep Waters on audible today. I enjoyed that story when I read it a few years ago. And I'm liking the narration... sounds pretty good :-D

I think I found Gin while I was looking up ZZWard videos. I was hooked on her style too ;-D She's very bluesy.

I am listening to Something Like Summer, written by Jay Bell, narrated by Kevin R. Free (who did the Kit and JX series).

Good choice of voice for that particular book!

It is so good. I binge listened to them all this summer. Well except Something like Autumn. I haven't had the heart, I'm too afraid to bawl my eyes out.

I like ZZ Ward too. My NZ-is-very-small Gin Wigmore story: My husband has a friend who's married to Gin Wigmore's brother. New Zealand is a very small place. And everyone, of course, knows someone who was involved with the Middle Earth movies. ;)

I'm glad Incursion the Audio is getting some love. Gomez nailed it. Of course, he's been around in the genre, and he was super easy to work with - consummate pro.

I actually prefer the Audio over the e-book, and I was never an audio person. :)

Lonely Hearts is out and it is so good. Narrated by Iggy Toma and even though I love 2 previous books, especially the first one which is a total comfort read/listening I think this one tops the series. Flawed characters but a beautiful story and excellent narration.

I'm listening to 'The Shirewode' by J. Tullos Henning. I was admittedly critical of the ending of 'The Greenwode' (too much carnage, very little glimmer of hope), but this second book is glorious. Ross Pendleton (I THINK I got the name right, is an amazingly brilliant narrator. There are so many characters for him to voice and he freaking nails it. Hits it out of the park. I thought Alexander J. Masters (Josh's 'I Spy' series narrator) was the best I'd heard... but this guy is so brilliant. I cannot recommend this series highly enough!

[Jordan]

Currently listening to The Hell You Say for the third time. :-)

Musically, I'm listening to David Garrett, a violinist who does great instrumental covers of classic rock like Hells Bells and other cool stuff.

[Jordan]

The Piano Guys just posted a new music video set in Scotland! And since Josh was just there, I thought it would be appropriate to post the video here, as it's pretty amazing.

It's a Rachel Platten Scottish cover of "This Is Your fight Song".

Wow. That's a gorgeous video! I love The Piano Guys :D

for UK listeners, Winter Kill and Male/Male Box set are apparently available as of yesterdaay. They are not yet available on the US site, and that is bizarre.

And so is the fact that Amazon postponed paying August US Royalties until November across the board. All the other royalties showed up as usual, but those are minor compared to the US royalties. As in...a fraction.

If I were cynical, I'd suspect some kind of juggling going on over at Amazon because both of these things are absolutely unheard of in all the time I've been selling books (audio and ebooks) through Amazon and Audible.

The audiobooks (all of them) are available on audible.de too. And naturally I have them now. I am so thankful, that you work so hard, that we can get the books in audio too. For me they are important, because the play a big role in my life. And it's infamous, when amazon and audible don't pay the royalties on time. That makes me very angry!!

[Calathea]

I've beenhaving trouble with downloads from audible.de lately. Seems I need to contact them about it because I want to download Winter Kill now. I mean, it's bought and payed for so...

[Loretta]

Hmm...Mexican Heat is available on the US site, but not the other two.

[Ame]

*waits impatiently for Winter Kill*

[Fehu]

Thank you I was waiting for the box, it includes one of my favorite stories :)

Uh...is it? I have no idea. Laura sort of unofficially took that one back. :-D

Yeah, well, unfortunately I'm not too impressed with the narrator choice, so I'm back-burnering Mexican Heat :(

[Mtsnow13]

Ame wrote: "*waits impatiently for Winter Kill*"

Ditto!!!!

[Josh]

Still no sign of Winter Kill or the box set, but I did send a follow up note to Audible, so we'll see what happens. I think it's hard to get things fixed on a weekend, so don't expect anything before Monday.

Well, they always have before, so I can't exactly be enraged over one screw-up. But it's weird for sure. Of course, I can still cover my payroll, some of those people were saying they needed the money for rent, etc. and that really would be a disaster, one time error or not.

This might be the same version Laura commissioned a few years ago? I never received a copy, so I never heard it. And while I guess I could use a credit on it now...uh no. If I can't stand to sit through my own brief sex scenes, I KNOW I can't sit through that book which is about 40% sex scenes, as I recall. :-D

Then I hope for one screw-up!

awesome - I just got it, thanks for the heads up. I'm listening to The Boy with the Painful Tattoo right now. It is so bittersweet because I love Kevin R. Free so much I'm going to be sad when the book is over :(

Wow, that was great, thank you.

JFYI: 20 years ago I would have spit on it because it is not traditional enough, now I just enjoyed the combination of images and music.

But this is the beauty of folk music. It is always evolving, always assimilating.

Kevin is so good--and so much in demand--I hope I can afford him when the time comes to do the next H&M book.

I think I could listen to him just reading the phone book, in any language, and find it entertaining. ;-)
