Lorna's Got A New Cover--and News! Posted by Lorraine Bartlett--aka Lorna Barrett I've been bugging my editor for weeks now to show me the cover. Yea--he did. But then they couldn't decide if they wanted the title to have an AND or an ampersand. The ampersand won! And here's the cover. (What do you think?) But I have even MORE news. (Sounds like one of those informercials. But wait, order now and....) I'm very pleased to announce that the Booktown Mysteries will soon (relatively speaking) be available as audiobooks (and downloadable). The recording for the first book, MURDER IS BINDING, was to have begun last week. It was very exciting to talk to the production manager at Deyan Audio about certain pronunciations. (Who knew Squamscot soda pop was actually pronounced Squamskit? And if you're in New Hampshire, why don't you try some of the local soda. It's de-lish!) He also said I'd be hearing from him about other questions they have as they get read to record the other books. And I already know who my reader will be: the lovely (and lovely voiced) Cassandra Campbell. I've heard a sample of her work, and I think she'll do a great job performing the books. I know I can't wait to hop in my car and spent lots of gas money listening to the book on CDs. Do you like to listen to audiobooks?
