Interpretation: Devious Web is now available as an audiobook!
I’m beyond excited to share the big news du jour: Devious Web is now available as an audiobook!! You can find it on Amazon/Audible, iTunes and more! And of course, the paperback and ebook versions continue to be available everywhere you buy books.
The narrator is Justin Smallbridge, an amazing voice talent from Vancouver, B.C. Justin was undaunted by the fact that the book has 18 lead and sub-characters, both male and female, requiring a range of accents including Canadian, southern U.S. (Georgia and North Carolina), and Irish!
It was great fun for me as the author to ‘meet’ my characters when they came to life for the first time as Justin narrated chapters. I would often say, “Now I can’t wait to hear from Miriam”—or another character in the book. And each time a character was introduced, it was a delight to listen to Justin’s interpretation that so closely matched my concept of them.
My favorites are characters Detective Jason Liu and Chief Finance Officer Winston Wilson. The ‘only the facts m’am’ detective is portrayed perfectly, and just a light touch of Winston’s Atlanta accent comes across well in the audio recording.
For others tackling producing an audiobook, it is not as easy as it looks to produce a quality product— so be prepared to invest significant time and effort. Because the recording must perfectly match the print version, many hours of scrupulous listening and tweaking were invested by myself and Justin.
Ultimately, I hope you will thoroughly enjoy listening to the audiobook and unravelling the mysteries within Devious Web. I welcome your feedback via shelley@shelleygrandy.com or your review on an audiobook provider’s site.
