I love audiobooks, and I listen to a lot of them while I'm driving or exercising. It's a wonderful way to keep up with my favorite authors without taking too much time away from my own writing. I just finished listening to a wonderful reading of Lois McMaster Bujold's Paladin of Souls, (I cried through the last third of the book, it was incredibly poignant and bittersweet) and I'm currently listening to Fool Moon, the second volume of Jim Butcher's Harry Dresden series.
Which leads me to the reason for collaborating with my good friend Louise Calkins to create podcasts of some of my books. Last weekend, we recorded an audio excerpt of the first chapter of Twist of Honor, with more excerpts planned in future months.
I have to say, it was a real thrill to hear Louise bring the story to life with her wonderful reading! You'll hear my voice, too, doing the introduction and the afterword, but really, Louise is the star of the show here.
If you're interested, please download the podcast when you have a moment. It can be found here:
