Listening to The Stones
The ANCIENT STONE MYSTERIES OF NEW ENGLAND Audiobook Is Now Available Everywhere
Apologies for the audio double entendre… just can’t stop myself.
To be quite honest, I'm not sure how much demand there really is for an audiobook about the stonework of New England. I figure you kinda wanna see the stuff... don'tcha? That's why I included over 500 photos and illustrations in the paperback and eBook of ANCIENT STONE MYSTERIES OF NEW ENGLAND in the first place, after all. And why I didn’t release an audiobook when the book came out.
But, eventually, after a year or so, I decided to record a couple of chapters and reconsider the idea after hearing them. Listening back, it struck me... I'd approached the subject by telling the story of my personal journey into researching stonework, so without the photos - and with me narrating it myself - it sounded somehow more autobiographical. Without the pictures, those elements are foregrounded more. For better or worse. Which I suppose makes sense.
And? I thought it sounded kinda good. So, I kept going, recording, editing and producing what ended up to be over nine hours of audio.
Listening to the book is a different experience, for sure. Certainly, it is its own thing. But that’s not necessarily a bad thing — just a different one.
As you’re likely aware, I shared the audiobook chapters in serialized form as I recorded and produced them, with subscribers here to my ANCIENT STONE MYSTERIES Newsletter and with my Glow-in-the-Dark Radio Podcast Patrons as well. Now, the finished audiobook is available EVERYWHERE — well, at least in most places where you find audiobooks online.
