Anyone wishing to buy my Troublesome Disguises audiobook can, of course, email me for details. I would offer a £5.00 discount for anyone buying one from my blog site, however. So, the offer here is: £9.99 and free P+P in the UK. Overseas must add £2.50 for P+P. Once I bring my Second Francis Vallemont audiobook (An Unreasonable Request) out in the middle of November, 2011, this same price and P+P offer would extend to that novel, too- if you bought the first one. (I think that price is reasonable for a new book and in audio, too.)

I am assuming that hardly anyone knows about this site yet, let alone the Vallemont novels! I am a professional writer and have to make a living. I've worked hard on the audiobook, because I'm not, obviously, a professional reader. And I will discuss the difficulties of reading one's own work in a future post. And I can tell you, it was excruciating (for me!), which is why so few writers venture to even attempt it I assume. The other problem, of course, is the time spent working on producing an audiobook is time spent away from writing.   But I think I did improve a little, with all the thousands and thousands of words I read, and re-read! Which is one consolation. Reading 100,000 words of your own work is a test, I do assure you. It's not because I think my book is bad, it's just that reading a work is a performance and I do not consider myself a perfromer. I'm a writer who likes to hide away behind his computer and books and write. However, if you bought the audiobook, I hope you enjoyed the performance! I got better didn't I? Friends tell me I have a pleasant enough voice- well,  they would wouldn't they! We all hate the sound of our own recorded voices, I think. Anyway, you can hear for yourself if you download the sample I've put up. Just below this post- there is a link.
