The Orbital Drop, Whispersync for Voice, and SFSignal's impressive ebook deals list

Posted on 2013-07-10 at 2:42 by Sam

I've posted fairly frequently about Whispersync for Voice deals, and one sure source for finding new ones is following Orbit Books' The Orbital Drop ebook deals, which each month "drops" the price on one or more ebooks in Orbit's catalog -- this month the titles include T.C. McCarthy's Germline and Mira Grant's Feed. Another pretty good source is watching for sequels or new follow-on books in a series, and checking to see if maybe the publisher has dropped the price on book one to try to tempt people to

May 8-14, 2013: It's a very, very crowded middle release week in May, with a long list of new audiobooks including new books in translation, a new YA novel from Brandon Sanderson, Neil Gaiman voicing one of his earlier collections, and finally an "unabridged" (scare quotes explained later...) US recording for World War Z. And more. How long is the list? Very long. I grudgingly winnowed things down to six seven picks, but others (a non-fiction Scatter, Adapt, and Remember: How Humans Will Survive a Mass

November gets off to a big start, with a long list of noteworthy releases, four of which I'll highlight at a little more length, and several more worth checking out as well. (Meanwhile, my "most missing" this fairly busy week is Allen Steele's Apollo's Outcasts, out in hardcover and ebook from Pyr.)

The Creative Fire: Book One of Ruby's Song By Brenda Cooper, Narrated by Yetta Gottesman for Audible Frontiers -- Length: 13 hrs and 27 mins. Out in print and ebook from Pyr, it's a book I was very excited to

Well, I tried. I put together an interstitial release week post on Friday. Then again Monday morning. And still what’s left in this week’s haul is more than enough to keep all the listening hours in a year occupied. So, since we can’t listen to everything, here are my picks for the week. Since Monday. Luckily, several of them are short. And one of them is even free. However… there are a lot of picks. And this is mostly just from Tuesday.

I’ve been looking forward to Ironskin By Tina Connolly since late

Interview: Brandon Sanderson on (primarily) The Alloy of Law and narrator Michael Kramer

Posted on 2012-03-23 at 14:45 by Sam

Today I’m absolutely ecstatic to post my interview with bestselling author Brandon Sanderson:

 

I first met and spoke to Sanderson in September 2010, when he came to Raleigh’s Quail Ridge Books for a reading and signing event for The Way of Kings: Book One of The Stormlight Archive, and one of the topics we got onto happened to be audiobooks. Fast forward to the fall of 2011 and the release of The Alloy of Law: A Mistborn Novel (which I reviewed here on the Audible SF/F blog) and it felt like it was time to
