I've done two audio books now (Bluebeard's Wife and Confessions). Love them? Hate them? Didn't even know they existed?

I first discovered your writing through the audio book "Confessions". I didn't own a kindle yet and wasn't aware of your writing. As a male, it would be unlikely to purchase one of your books through a bookstore or Amazon. I think you will connect with a whole new group of fans through audio books. Can't wait to listen to Babysitting the Baumgartner's... :)

Thank you so much, Joe!

Selena,

I'm curious about how the audiobook market plays with these sorts of books. As an author myself, I've considered creating some of my writings in audiobook format. But it's something that I just wasn't sure about for a couple reasons.

1. I'm male, and I don't know whether a male voice is what people are looking for. I have a good voice and I've done radio commercials before, but I wondered whether the people downloading these books would be looking for a female voice.

2. Is there a market for it? Recording an audiobook must take a long time, and I would need an upgrade in equipment to get it done professionally. Is it worth the investment?

I'd love to hear any thoughts you might have.

Yes, there is a market for them. As for narration - lots of people really enjoy hearing the author read their work!

Audio books are kind of interesting. It would be nice to hear the authors reading their work. On the other hand, I tend to absorb the work better if I read it. I might have to have a go at one of your audiobooks, and hear you read the hot explicit action with your own lovely voice!

Bluebeard's Wife and Confessions (with an S - not the UMNB sequel) are my voice. I hate my voice and the reviews are mixed. But anyway those are the two I've recorded.
