Getting the second of the
Caeteran Tales on Audible
If you weren’t aware, Open Season (The Caeteran Tales Book 1) is available on Audible. I have a wonderful voice actor, David Swanson. He did a fabulous job of bringing the characters to life and giving each a unique voice. Buy or listen to the sample here, or if you’d like to offer up a review of the book and performance, I have promo codes coming soon, but the numbers are limited.
I was surprised (and excited) to see that the audio version had 5 reviews. I’ve always said that anything with 3+ stars is an awesome review, and I recognize that tastes differ. Here are a couple of the reviews posted on Audible:

The plot moved quickly and I was so immersed in it that I finished the book in one night :).”
This embodies everything that I was going for in my series. My original fear when publishing in this manner was backlash about requiring a reader to delve into multiple books in order to complete the entire story. I’ll admit that I’ve been accused of this tactic as a money-making scheme as well. I could rebut the argument with a fairly pointed and persuasive essay, but I’ll reserve that commentary. My simple hope in my writing is that people read it or listen to it, connect with some of the characters, and enjoy the ride.
