A Door Unlocked Audiobook Coming Soon

For the past two weeks, I’ve been recording narration for "A Door Unlocked". The novel is being turned into an audiobook. As of Friday, October 11, the recording aspect is complete. Over the next two weeks, ACX, an Amazon platform, will review the recordings for quality control.  Afterwards, the audiobook will be available at Audible.com, Amazon.com, and iTunes for downloading to iPhones, iPads and other electronic devices. You’ll be able to listen to a portion of a sample chapter to gauge your interest - much like reading a sample chapter on Amazon.com or BarnesAndNoble.com. I’ll alert everyone when the audiobook and its sample chapter are ready for your inspection - hopefully, by Halloween.

Bookstock at the Benjamin J. Hooks Public Library

Music in the meeting room. Charlie Chaplin roaming the halls. A keynote speech by  Philip Mudd, author of Takedown: Inside the Hunt for Al Qaeda. And 40 authors on hand with good books and good conversation. This describes the 2013 edition of Bookstock at the Benjamin J. Hooks Public Library on Poplar in Memphis, TN.

The occasion gave me an opportunity to launch my second novel, A Door Unlocked. Two people in attendance approached me with an invitation to appear on a radio program and a TV show about books. Probably in early 2014. More on that later.
