I’ve narrated several audiobooks, but this one was special for me. Wes and I met in grad school at the Bluegrass Writers Studio in 2014. We taught in the same school district in Jessamine County Kentucky. And we shared a few drinks and some adventures in Lisbon. So when he asked me to narrate his novel, I immediately asked, "How much will you pay me?" Critics have praised Pineville Trace; readers adore it: --This was an utterly compelling read. --Pineville Trace is a quiet odyssey, an unexpectedly meditative journey of a minor outlaw. --Good first book --The cat is my favorite, and not just because I am a super-fulfilled old cat lady. --... an achingly beautiful story with a complex character at it center. --... beautifully read by Michael Mau. And I sure loved recording it. To hear the whole novel, you’ll have to buy it yourself, but I wanted to share a couple of chapters just to tease you. So here, for your listening enjoyment, is Pineville Trace by Wes Blake. If you want to hear more, or even read the book yourself, you can go to https://wesblake.com/ . There you can read interviews with Wes, find out where he’ll be speaking, and look at his face, which doctors say is too small for his head.

I met Dan the way I have met many writers recently; he hired me to produce (and perform) an audiobook: The Alien, the first novel in a sci-fi trilogy that is at once a satire, an espionage thriller, and a bildungsroman for a man-child astronaut aptly named Michael. Dan himself is an adventurer and world traveler who makes his home in Maine, where all of his novels also make their homes (or on an alien planet; or a pub in Ireland). You can get any of Dan's novels at DanielWescott.com--paperback, Kindle, or audiobook, and there are plenty to choose from. I released a chapter from The Alien during Season Two, so for a treat between seasons, I will bring you a couple of chapters from each of Dan's other books. For example, you will also hear chapters from two novels in his Love and Torment series, Inhabited and Captive with performances by Jennifer Keane @citizenkeane and Anastasia Wilson @anastasia.wil For now though, Chapter One of Inhabited: Love and Torment Book One. Yeah, I'm doing it out of order because the first book in the series is on a hard drive that I left at my mom's house. And I'll get it later. It's a topsy turvy world, so deal with it.
