Audio edition of The Golden Sword published . . . and over a million pages read.

 Ta dahhhh!!!
Proudly announcing that the audio book of The Golden Sword is now available 😃.

It took a fair old time to get there, but we've finally done it. We've published The Golden Sword as an audio book - and it's getting wonderful reviews. Pete's voice has been likened to Stephen Fry (he's pretty famous in the UK) and, furthermore, it seems that the story works very well in this format too. Phew. 

Some years ago Pete used to present television programmes, he's also DJ'd and worked on the radio so he's pretty used to speaking and presenting - and he's got all the technical know-how and equipment needed. 

The great thing about us working together was that I could help him interpret the characters until he got to know them as well as I do. Fortunately we get on very well - and he was always open to re-recording when the emphasis wasn't quite right. Aren't I lucky? 

Here are just a couple of the reviews:

'This was one of the best audio books I have ever heard!

The narrator has the most perfect voice for audio books- better than Stephan Fry reading Harry Potter!
The story was excellent! I’ll be listening to it again, very soon!'

And another:

'I enjoyed every minute listening to this book. Right from the first sentence, I was drawn in and eager to find out what was going to happen next. Ancient myths and legends woven into an engaging modern day adventure. Fast paced, exciting but not frightening.
Beautifully written and narrated. An absolute delight.'

Furthermore - over a million pages of The Camelot Inheritance have now been borrowed and read! 

That's just by the folk who have used Kindle Unlimited (KU) or the Kindle Owners’ Lending Library.
I'm pretty chuffed because that doesn't include paperbacks or ordinarily bought kindle books. I absolutely LOVE that so many people have spent time reading my books. 
If you're one of those people, whether you've read them in paperback or on your kindle, thank you!!!!
