Yes, I had two wonderful surprises today. First, as already mentioned, my paperbacks arrived for Mistaken Identity. Not long after, Amazon linked the audiobook. WOW! That was quick. (Thank you, Amazon)
It has to be a challenge for a narrator to bounce between character voices when a story is action-packed, which is the case with Mistaken Identity. Yet, Stevie did it flawlessly. She is also particularly adept at getting the tone, the urgency, and the emotion as she narrates. To me, she is without peer in the world of Austen audiobooks.
Congratulations again! I have tried to listen to audible books but I find I cannot immerse myself in them the same way I can by reading the book myself. I get distracted and feel as if I will miss something if I don’t stop and listen. Obviously, I cannot do two things at once! LOL!
I used to feel exactly the same way. However, when Stevie finishes chapters, I need to listen and compare every word and tone to the manuscript. It’s given me a whole new appreciation for audiobooks. Now, John and I listen to them all the time.
Stevie is always outstanding in her audio performances. I never thought I would like audiobooks, but I have come to
love those done by a good narrator. With very few exceptions, I always read the book first. Congratulations on the release and… I have credits!

I’m so GLAD!!! This cover model reminded me so much of the Elizabeth in my mind for this story. Those eyes!
