I’m so excited, I can’t stand it. As soon as ACX does a final review on Haunted Lake, it will be available in audio! I never thought I would be able to do this because of the high cost, but I found a reasonably priced narrator, and the project went seamlessly.
About my narrator. Al Kessel has been awesome to work with. Not only do I love his voice, but he’s a REALLY nice guy. I wasn’t sure anyone could do anything with the voice of my character, John, who was injured in such a way that his voice was raspy. Al pulled it off better than I could have imagined. He brought kind of a “Clint Eastwood” style to John’s voice. And Al really enjoyed portraying John. He also did the female voice well. That’s hard to pull off for a guy, but I had no problem imagining a female when Al was portraying Rachel. I hope to work with him again. Here’s where you can find Al: Storyteller Productions Website and Story Teller Productions Facebook Pate
This has been an exciting experience for me. So much fun!

That’s really cool. You’ll have to post a snippet of the audio on your blog when you have a chance.
Thanks, Emma. I’ll see what the rules are with audio, but if I can do that I will. 🙂
So happy for you. Looking forward to hearing it.
Thanks, Lowell! 🙂
Congrats, that’s wicked cool. One of these days I’ll have to try an audio book. Who knows maybe it will yours 🙂
You’ve never listened to an audio book? I get so bored driving, so it’s a great way to pass the time and get more reading in. 🙂
How exciting! I’ll be ready to buy it when it’s out. I have text-to-speech on Kindle, but I love listening to male voices (who aren’t robotic sounding). LOL
Oh, Ruth, you don’t have to. But I know you will, LOL. You will have to let me know what you think of Al’s voice. And if there’s anything you think he should do differently if I use him for Soul of a Vampire (if I can ever afford it!).I loved working with him, and I liked his voice a lot, especially his portrayal of John, who had a raspy voice. But I’m biased, so I need a non-biased opinion. 🙂
It’s going to take awhile, I think. I asked Rose how long, and she said 3-5 weeks. I couldn’t believe it takes that long! I guess someone from ACX has to listen to the whole thing and approve the audio quality.
