Ladies and gentlemen, the Walking on the Sea of Clouds<\/em> audiobook is complete and available for your listening pleasure!<\/strong> You can score a copy direct from Audible<\/a> or<\/em>, if you prefer, from Amazon<\/a>.<\/p>\n

As pleased as I am to announce that the novel is in audio format, I’m even happier to announce that the voice actress who narrates it is … my daughter, Stephanie! (Surprise!<\/em>)<\/p>\n

Stephanie auditioned under her married name (Minervino), so the folks at WordFire Press<\/a> didn’t realize who she was when they forwarded her audition to me. They agreed she was the best choice and worked with her through the production process long before we ever let on that we were related. (Sneaky, I know.)<\/p>\n

If you click through to the Audible website, you can listen to a sample. And while I admit that I may be a little biased, I think she did a fine job. It wasn’t easy, with so many different accents among the characters, but she managed to give each character a unique voice!<\/p>\n

And not only that: Stephanie did a great job portraying the emotional depth of the story, and actually added<\/strong> to the emotional depth of some scenes. She made me very proud! I just wish her name was a little bigger on the cover:<\/p>\n
