Audiobooks

I think I'm about ready to pull the trigger on the generation of an audiobook for each of the first three parts of the series!

No surprise, but I've been doing a lot of research on this. Long story short, I figure that given the fact that I'm already hitched to Amazon, for better or for worse, on the Kindle and paperback distribution, I might as well go and sleep with the their subsidiary, Audiobook Creation Exchange (ACX).

It's actually quite an interesting concept in that it is similar to that of the site I used for my cover art, 99Designs.com. Basically, you put your project out there, give a little sales-y spiel as to why it would be profitable via royalty sharing to do the work, and off you go. However, to be fair and to make sure we have a true blue level set, I have absolutely no idea how long it takes for a producer to bite and get started.

In a perfect world, I'd like the same producer and narrator to handle all three, and soon to be four, parts of the Foreign & Domestic series... I really do hate change. Sorry, I'm a creature of habit and I rather do enjoy consistency.

I'll keep everyone posted as to the progress on this front.
