Audiobook progress update and sample!

AuthorAppleton on September 17, 2020

The audiobook version of Swords of the Six is fully recorded now! This is a big project but feels very rewarding. Right now I am taking all of the rough files and putting them through postproduction in preparation for their publication on Audible, Hoopla, iTunes, and other audiobook vendors.

I think this is going to finish at about 16 hours of listening time. The audio quality turned out better than I had hoped and I have found that the key with the narration is to simply relax, be myself, and sink into the story.

I have been promising you guys a more substantial sample of this audiobook, so here it is at last! This is the excerpt where albino the dragon hatches his daughters from their eggs. I hope that you enjoy it! It is my intention to have the audiobook published by this Christmas.

Swords of the Six audiobook recorded!

AuthorAppleton on September 1, 2020

With great pleasure (and from an exhausted state of mind because it is 2:15AM) I am pleased to announce the completion of recording for Swords of the Six.

This was a whole lot of work, and I suspect just as much work is ahead of me as I launch into post-production. The audio files have to be edited and brought into alignment with audiobook publishers before I can release this to the public. Building my own whisper room/recording booth definitely made a huge difference in accomplishing this mammoth task.

I hope to have this out by Christmas 2020, but I have never done an audiobook prior to this so there may be unforeseen hurdles. But I cannot wait to offer this product!
