Step Twenty-One: The Audiobook

Because Listening To A Book Counts Just As Much As Reading A Book

I have just received my advance link to listen to the audiobook of LAST SEEN. Trust me when I tell you I downloaded that puppy faster than you can blink. I have been DYING to hear this audio narration. And as I am currently covered in goosebumps… yes, it is wonderful. Creepy and heartfelt and so, so compulsive. If you’re an audiobook fan, you are in for a real treat.

The exceptional Saskia Maarleveld narrates the novel, and we also have a male lead, the legendary Scott Brick, who reads the Monster. And trust me…he is monstrous in the role. Freaked me right out. I actually had to leave my office. It’s one thing to write a dark being into existence. It’s something wholly different to hear him come to life.

And that’s the fascinating thing about audiobooks. Hearing your work read aloud by someone other than you (or the voices in your head—haha) can be…unnerving. I’ve always found it to be so. It makes the story very real. I’ve actually never listened to a complete audiobook of mine, except for LIE TO ME. I will probably listen to LAST SEEN too, because I want to have the whole experience of this book. If I can. It’s an unsettling story on all levels.
