Hello all!

It has been a hot minute since I have posted, but for good reason! I have been hard at work editing the audiobook for Hunting The Empress, which is in the final stages and progressing nicely.

For those who don’t know, recording an audiobook that is over 640 pages long is VERY time-consuming, BUT editing it…OMG! This is the most tedious thing I have ever done. LOL! It takes forever. No joke.

Fantasy novels are a much more involved process and take much longer to record and edit than most other genres, because of the length. It’s not a light undertaking. Neither is the cost if you don’t narrate it yourself! (Think 5-figures for a voice actor! No joke)

Needless to say, I am very excited to get this out there and share it with the world. We begin recording book 2 once book 1 is up. We have learned a lot from this process, so now we know what NOT to do for book 2.
