We have been working on the website over the last couple of weeks so you may notice a few changes. The book reviews and book shop pages have been tidied up and sorted by author. E-books are now available through the book shop page as well, at lower prices than on Amazon. We have also added some merchandise – mugs are available now and we will be adding T-shirts and some other bits over the next few weeks.

Last week saw the Audible releases of the first two books in the Elements of Horror Series (Earth & Air) so we have a few review copies to give away for those. Get in touch via the Contact page to request a free code.  We currently have a few other titles in production on Audible (A is for Aliens, Elements of Horror: Fire, and Madman Across the Water by Caroline Angel) so keep an eye out for news on those.

Industry Interview: David Sweeney-Bear (Audiobook Narrator)

For those of you interested in what goes into the making of an audiobook from start to finish, my guest on today’s Q&A answers that wonderfully. He also offers some excellent tips for people who are looking at getting into the narration industry.

I, like many, truly hadn’t the slightest idea just how much work goes in to an audiobook from start to finish. I’ve come out of this Q&A with an even larger appreciation of narrators and all those tech-minded folk behind the scenes of audio creation.

From my interactions with David, and from what I’ve learned from his answers, he seems like a total class act and I wish him all the best in his future narration works.

With that said, on to the interview:
