Josie Bates has a full plate caring for a troubled teen, but it’s about to get fuller when her ex-cop lover, Archer, is accused of murdering his disabled stepson – a son Josie never knew he had. When Timothy Wren died at California’s oldest amusement park it appeared to be a tragic accident. But now Timothy’s biological father and the district attorney are out for blood. Is this a criminal action with merit, a vendetta, or a shakedown? For Josie the stakes are personal. Racing against time to prove someone is framing Archer, her faith in him is tested by his honesty regarding his feelings about his stepson. Finally, she finds the truth lies not in Archer’s words but with a long-forgotten silent witness.

Targeted Age Group: General
Genre: thriller/legal thriller

What was your inspiration for this book?
I had three friends who were going through divorces at the same time and I noted that, no matter what the circumstances, families and friends seemed to immediately support the woman during that hard time. I began thinking about father’s rights. I found dad’s situations in divorce heart-wrenching as they often battled not only family but the judicial system. When you wrote the book did you know you were going to offer it as an audio book?
No.

Why did you decide to produce an audio book?
After producing Hostile Witness it seemed a natural progression to move on to the next book in the series and let Josie Bate’s voice continue to be heard.

How did you choose the reader for the book and the production company?
I felt very lucky that Tara Platt, the award winning voiceover artist, agreed to voice Silent Witness also. I love her work.

If someone is thinking about creating an audio book, what advice would you give them?
Communicate the story from character to plot point. If you’re doing the next book in a series, tell your talent what changes in each character and point out what must remain the same. What else would you like to share with readers about your audio book?
My goal is to not just move the characters forward but to give them true lives to live. Audio deepens my understanding of them.

Audio Book with Sample: Hostile Witness by Rebecca Forster @Rebecca_Forster

Posted By Audiobook Librarian Leave a Comment


When sixteen-year-old Hannah Sheraton is arrested for the murder of her stepgrandfather, the chief justice of the California Supreme court, her distraught mother turns to her old college roommate, Josie Baylor-Bates, for help. Josie, once a hot-shot criminal defense attorney, left the fast track behind for a small practice in Hermosa Beach, California. But Hannah Sheraton intrigues her and, when the girl is charged as an adult, Josie cannot turn her back. But the deeper she digs the more Josie realizes that politics, the law and family relationships create a combustible and dangerous situation. When the horrible truth is uncovered it can save Hannah Sheraton or destroy them both.

Targeted Age Group: General
Genre: thriller/legal thriller

What was your inspiration for this book?
My husband, a Superior Court judge in California, presided over a criminal case in which he sentenced a sixteen-year-old boy to life in prison because he had been tried as an adult. It was a dramatic trial and it was the inspiration for Hostile Witness. When you wrote the book did you know you were going to offer it as an audio book?
No.

Why did you decide to produce an audio book?
My son is a talent manager and his client, Tara Platt, is an award winning voiceover. I have to credit him for making it happen and Tara for bringing life to the characters I love.

How did you choose the reader for the book and the production company?
Tara actually did a sample reading for me. After I heard her voice, there was never any question that she would be the voice of Josie Bates and The Witness Series.

If someone is thinking about creating an audio book, what advice would you give them?
GIve your talent as much information as you can in as orderly a manner as you can. I wrote an overview for Tara of each of the primary characters – not just the main one – a short synopsis, plot points etc. I also gave her a copy of the book. What else would you like to share with readers about your audio book?
I am not sure I can adequately express the feeling of hearing this story told. I thought an audio book would feel a bit anticlimactic. After all, I knew who these characters were, I knew the story, I knew how it ended and yet I found myself caught up as if I it was unfolding for the first time. That was an amazing experience.
