I'm a big fan of your narrations and can't wait to listen to this! I am getting my next Audible credit in 9 days and THIS is where it's going!

SO AWESOME!
And how great that you were able to pursue this and get it accomplished!

Like I said on Twitter, I'd love this entry even if you weren't talking about my book. Getting the attention of people at a major publisher and actually getting action was a feat worthy of Valhalla. You are a rock star.
