Let me tell you a story…about telling stories.

Recording an audiobook was a strange experience. Almost every day for three weeks I sat very still, speaking into a giant professional microphone on a stand covered by a fuzzy purple sock. If I were a cheeky romance writer I’d say it looked like Barney the dinosaur wearing a purple condom.

Oh wait…I AM a cheeky romance writer!

So I spent a lot of time with Barney in my basement studio recording English Ivy for you.

I imagined YOU (and all your friends) sitting around the campfire roasting marshmallows and drinking loads of wine as I told you Ivy’s tale.

(Side Note: Why don’t we have women-only camping parties on a regular basis? That sounds like FUN.)

Some days I drank tea with honey to keep my voice warm.

Some days it was harder to loosen up and I had a dram of whisky.

In the end, I had about 20 hours of audio, mistakes and all, which was then edited down to a more reasonable 9 hours and 11 minutes.

Would you like a spot around the virtual campfire? I’ll provide the story if you’ll roast your own marshmallows.
