Hearing It Makes It More Real

I am as please as can be to announce that Should We Drown in Feathered Sleep is available in audio format here at Audible.com

Guys, I started to tear up listening to the audio. Somehow this makes both Should We Drown in Feathered Sleep and the idea that I Are A Real Writer more, well, real. Knowing that Carina Press and Harlequin both felt strong enough about my work to have it put into this format, to hear it read by a professional reader (who has a fabulous voice, and uses tone and other tricks to make each character stand out ), honestly, I was not prepared for how it would make me feel. Coupled with the fact that I got my very first ever royalty check this week, I received some much needed positive reinforcement and my holiday season got a little cheerier!

Since it is the holidays and we all know people who read, this seems like a good time to remind folks where they can pick up my novellas, the anthology I had the privilege to edit, and my short story collection.

Should We Drown in Feathered Sleep can also be purchased in ebook format at Carina Press, Amazon, and B&N

The Horror at Cold Springs can be purchased at The Genre Mall.

Northern Lights: 20 MinnSpec Tales is also available at The Genre Mall.

Shimmers & Shadows is available both in print from Lulu.com and in a Kindle edition at Amazon.

Happy Reading (and Listening!)

Hearing is very much more immediate for me: there are novels I love in print but can't listen to because they rely on waiting for something horrible to happen, and I get stomach ache....

I do most of my "reading" in audio books these days, since the eyes can't focus on print for long. A good reader can definitely make the story more immediate and ratchet up the tension to almost unbearable levels.

Thank you! I do admit I have trouble believing I'm a real writer sometimes. It just seems so improbable.
