I might have spent hours and hours searching for the perfect background picture for my newest audiobook, Irrevocably Gone, but then I came across this popular image that I’ve used in previous social media posts and thought, why not go with this?
Does it not convey everything a Pride and Prejudice retelling ought to convey?
Speaking of hours and hours, I thought I’d never finish this author-read audiobook. Indeed, it felt like months and months of hard work. In fairness, comprising over 40,000 words, it is by far the longest of my stories that I dared to narrate.
Throughout the course of the past few months, I asked myself time and time again what I was thinking. Why not just turn this over to a professional narrator and be done with it? Yes, that would easily have cost close to $1000 or more with no guarantee of a return on the investment. But still…
However, not being one to quit an endeavor so dear to my heart midstream, I stayed the course. Now that it’s done, I have to say I’m rather pleased with how the story turned out.
Here’s a snippet of the story, for your listening pleasure!
I hope you enjoyed Chapter One of Irrevocably Gone. Just in case you’re excited to know what happens next, the complete full-length audiobook is now streaming on YouTube and available to listen to for free.
Happy listening!
