Audio Book: Wings of Shadow by Anna Kyss @AnnaKyss

Posted By Audiobook Librarian Leave a Comment

WOS-audio
In the struggle for survival…

Meghan’s graduation gift is one that any eighteen-year-old would dream of: traveling abroad to England. Her journey turns into more adventure than expected when Meghan meets the mysterious Kiernan and is introduced to a strange society hidden beneath the streets of London.

The fittest win out at the expense of their rivals…

When Meghan’s life is threatened, she flees the city and seeks sanctuary in a distant village–a place unseen by human eyes for over one hundred years. Not knowing if anyone can be trusted, Meghan tries to determine who is friend, who is foe… and who has captured her heart. Meanwhile, a battle for survival brews all around her.

Targeted Age Group: 13 to adult
Genre: YA urban fantasy

When you wrote the book did you know you were going to offer it as an audio book?
I had no idea it was even possible to create an audio book without the backing of a big publisher. I learned about Audible’s program for independent creation of audio books (www.acx.com) about six months after I published Wings of Shadow.

Why did you decide to produce an audio book?
I love the audio book format. When I am reading, I can imagine the characters’ voices in my head, but audio transforms novels to “in your mind” movies. I actually had tingles when I listened to some of the chapters that the narrator completed. She captured the romantic scenes perfectly, the humor and whimsy at other times, and brought the ceremonies and battles to life.

How did you choose the reader for the book and the production company?
Meghan Lewis narrated Wings of Shadow, and she was responsible for the many other pieces involved in its audio production. When I decided to create an audiobook, I went into it wanting to find the perfect voice talent, even if it meant a longer search process and production schedule. My biggest concern was finding a narrator who could handle my main character’s American accent, while developing accents for all of the British-sounding faeries. Meghan mastered this and intuitively knew when to add humor, an element of danger, and flirty romance. She is incredibly talented!

If someone is thinking about creating an audio book, what advice would you give them?
I think the most important element in creating an audiobook is to find a great narrator. A talented narrator can bring the audiobook to life and a poorly recorded audiobook can ruin the story. What else would you like to share with readers about your audio book?
Wings of Shadow was made eligible for the Whispersync program. Whispersync allows readers to buy both the ebook version and the audio version for a reduced price. With Wings of Shadow, it would only cost $1.99 to add on the audiobook. Readers can then switch between the two versions without the hassle of searching for the right spot. I love this option! Whispersync allows readers to workout, do dishes or drive to work, without having to put their books down.

Wings of Shadow is also available on I-tunes and Audible.

Audio Book: What’s All the Fuss About the Elected Pope [Unabridged] by Richard Porter

Posted By Audiobook Librarian Leave a Comment

the-elected-pope
In a short essay intended to provoke rational discussion, Richard Porter & Spot The Dog set down their thoughts about Electing a Pope. The Catholic World must read this urgent piece of writing. There are a few subjects in the Catholic World today that lend itself to raw emotion. This is where Richard and Spot shine the most.

This short book deals with our culture now, and the changes that are soon to be upon us.

You will be thrilled, shocked and thoroughly entertained. There are some points within this guide that will have you thinking for days. You will contemplate whether or not you should join sides with the writers or stick with the traditional Catholic beliefs. We leave it up to each individual Catholic to find it in their heart to decide on what is best for the Catholic world.

Targeted Age Group: 16 and over
Genre: Catholic World Humor

What was your inspiration for this book?
I watch the news trends, and they are loaded with topics for me to write about. When the new Pope was elected. I started writing one night in the morning the story was done. Oh a lot of people in high places do not like this story. But behind closed doors they love it too. My job is to write what ever I want, so if groups like or dislike my work it does not matter to me. When you wrote the book did you know you were going to offer it as an audio book?
No I was trying to get into the Amazon Kindle Single system. They were not too pleased with the subject matter. I ” We have reviewed your story and we have turned it down for the Singles System.”I wonder how many Catholic reviewers were on the panel? So I moved on to the Audio books. Hey at lease they love it. An now It has started to sell even their.

Why did you decide to produce an audio book?
Their are thousands of people who have trouble read. Why should they be left out of the enjoyment of good stories? I say all book should be spread across the market place for everyone even the blind.

How did you choose the reader for the book and the production company?
I am not sure I understand this question. But if you in high school and up you will enjoy this book.

If someone is thinking about creating an audio book, what advice would you give them?
Don’t think about it. Do It you will be giving someone a chance to escape the troubles of the day for a few minutes. We don’t know how our book impact peoples lives.

What else would you like to share with readers about your audio book?
Listen with a open mind. Laugh out loud, let yourself go enjoy the few minutes. You will releave some of you everyday stress. Enjoy
