Jon & Lobo audiobooks are here!

I mentioned in an earlier post that the fine folks at audible.com would be bringing the Jon & Lobo books to audio. Well, they have. You can get all of the first four books here.

I have not heard them, nor did I have any hand in their making, but I am quite excited to give them a listen.

The same person, Tom Stechschulte, narrates all of them. I do not know his work, but he has narrated many audiobooks, including James Ellroy's The Black Dahlia, Dennis Lehane's Shutter Island, Cormac McCarthy's No Country for Old Men and The Road, and Rick Riordan's Big Red Tequila. I'm honored to have my books in that company.

If you check out any of these, please let me know what you think. I'll do the same.

Coming soon: Jon & Lobo audiobooks!

I've learned quite recently that the good folks at Audible.com have purchased the audiobook rights to all five Jon and Lobo novels (the fifth being the upcoming No Going Back). I'm quite excited at the prospect of hearing these books.

Other than the fact of the purchase, however, I have very little data to offer you. My friend, Sam Montgomery-Blinn, broke the news on his SF audiobook blog. According to his contacts at Audible, the first four Jon and Lobo novels should appear in audiobook form by the end of March, with the fifth hitting about the same time as the print book (May 1). That would certainly be cool.

I have no clue who the narrator will be, nor will I get any voice in that selection process. Yes, I know that Neil Gaiman does, and I'm sure some other writers do, but I don't sell as well as Gaiman (though feel free to buy enough of my books to change that fact). I'll probably learn the narrator's identity when I first see the books come online.

As I said, though, I'm quite excited to hear these audiobooks. I've never had an audio version of any of my works, so I look forward to them. I hope you do, too.
