The Refuge goes audio

Since publishing The Mine, my first novel, more than twelve years ago, I have focused mostly on producing ebooks -- for obvious reasons. Ebooks are easier to create, update, and ultimately sell. They are the fastest and surest way to get a return on my investment.

Even so, I have not neglected other formats. Though print books and audiobooks are not as lucrative or easy to update, they are important. Many people will not read a book unless they can hold a paper copy in their hands. Others prefer not to read at all. They would rather listen.

For that reason and others, I have done my best to convert all of my Kindle books to print and audio. All twenty-three of my novels are already in print. As of last month, nineteen are also available in audio.

The Refuge, the fourth book in the Time Box series, joined that group last week. Released on February 29, it is now available through Amazon, Apple Books, and Audible.

Roberto Scarlato, who also narrated The Fair and Sea Spray, books two and three in the series, will narrate book five. The talented Michigan voice artist will begin work on Crown City sometime this spring.

As with previous audiobooks, I can distribute a limited number of Audible books in exchange for reviews. Please contact me if interested in a free code for The Refuge or selected other audiobooks.

A wedding to remember

I don't normally go barefoot while wearing a suit, but I did just that on Saturday when I married off my son, Matthew, on a beach. Along with my in-laws, Ken and Michelle Miller; daughter-in-law, Mikayla; wife, Cheryl (all pictured); and many guests, I helped turn Navarre Beach, Florida, into a wedding chapel. Many blessings to the newlyweds as they begin their new lives.
