Vic:I also did Ruthless Game and really enjoyed it. I’m also one of the ones who will skip over some of the Feehan love scenes… otherwise other parts of my anatomy clenches!I really loved seeing one of the Ghostwalker babies!

Ah Vic, you had me ROTFLOL with this one! I LOVE the Ghostwalkers, but all the "clenching" makes my eyes do an auto roll to the back of my head now. I too was hoping for a simultaneous release of Archangel's Consort, bummer! Psy/Changeling, with the right narrator, heaven on audio!! I'm very interested to hear Susan Erickson narrating Anne Stuart's Ruthless! I did a quick check, it will be her first historical romance narration from what I found.

Oops, also meant to list new Anne Stuart release from Tantor for Ruthless read by Susan Ericksen is being release 1/31. They are listing Reckless for a 3/7 audio release. Be sure to request these on audible! I’ve been requesting the Riley Jensen series but still waiting for book 5 on audible. Books 7-9 will be out over next 2 months I believe.

Also, about publishers, if you shop audible, they list the print publisher and date as well as the audio publisher and date for each book on the description page.

While browsing Tantor’s coming soon lists, I saw Nalini’s Archangel’s Consort listed for audio release 2/28. I’ve pre-ordered the paperback but this was definitely a blow since the paperback is releasing 1/25! I actually e-mailed Nalini’s assistant about any information regarding Psy/Changling being released in audio but haven’t heard back. Will post info if/when I do hear something.

Lea-
I think I would have enjoyed “A Secret Affair” more in print. I love Mary Balogh and have really enjoyed this Huxtable series. And I was looking forward to Con’s story. If you have the time to read it, then that would be my suggestion. But listening to the audio is better than missing out on the story entirely.

Modifying any type of audio file is possible if you have the right sound mixing programs. Personally, I use Audacity.

I’m currently listening to the new Tom Clancy “Dead or Alive”. I’m really liking Lou Diamond Phillips narration. I SHOULD finish it tomorrow and then will be able to start listening to the Fever books.

Tracey – do you think you would have enjoyed A Secret Affair more if you had read it in print? I have in audio and am determined to listen to Flosnik but I wonder if it wouldn’t be easier to just discover Con’s story in print.

Priscilla – I really enjoy Jill Tanner’s narrations and often will choose books because she IS the narrator. Will you let us know if you listen to Beverley’s Secret Wedding? It sounds like we have similar listening tastes.

Ms. Anne Stuart! Thanks you for the insider details. You better believe I’ll be listening to those opening and closing credits.

Nina – I’m going to suggest a group listen/relisten of Singh’s Archangel series prior to the release of Archangel’s Consort. Hope you can be a part of that. And glad you’re another one listening to the Fever series. Next week will be so much fun!

Gail – So glad I’m not alone with the Kleypas and Landor combo. And, yes – many of us are calling out to you about 4% change in pitch.

Carrie – Thanks for the info…I guess if I’d been more patient I would have found out about his background! Last night I got to the part where he tells Cat about part of his past life. I wasn’t sure about this series (I’m about vampired out these days) but I do like it so far and the narration is growing on me. The accent she gave Bones just suurpised me…I guess I can’t think of too many books where the hero is “hardscrabble”-I like that classification. One of the few I can think of was Judith Ivory’s The Proposition where Mich was a rat catcher?(I think – I seem to remember he had a ferret he kept in his pocket).

BevL – I know you can change the speed on your iPod if you listen with one. On my nano it’s under settings/playback/Audiobooks and you have 3 options -normal, faster, slower. I don’t use the faster or slower option but my husband often does. I know when he was listening to Outlander he would go faster when “Claire starts going into too much detail about the medical stuff”. Hope this helps.

Gail – I’d be interested in how you change the pitch as well.
