Big news: all three Jim Garraty stories are officially in audiobook production!

📘 Reunion: A Story — narrated by Brandon Padilla

📙 Reunion: Coda — narrated by Stefan (Steve) Lee

📗 Comings and Goings: The Art of Being Seen — narrated by Bryan Haddock

Each narrator brings a distinct emotional cadence to the Garratyverse—Brandon’s quiet intimacy, Steve’s reflective rhythm, and Bryan’s Vonnegut-esque realism. I’ve already heard the first 15 minutes of Reunion: A Story, and it’s surreal. Hearing your words spoken aloud—especially with care and emotional fluency—is a kind of communion.

To everyone who’s said, “I’d love to read these, but I only do audiobooks now”—your moment has arrived. No more excuses. The stories are coming to your ears, with heart.

Author Review:Reunion: A Story

I wrote Reunion: A Story back in 1998, just to see if I could write a piece of non-genre fiction. It was a quiet experiment in emotional realism—grief without spectacle, intimacy without performance, memory without melodrama. I once called it Love Unspoken, Love Unbroken, and that title still lingers in the margins.

Hearing Brandon Padilla narrate the opening chapters has been surreal. He doesn’t just read the words—he inhabits them. His voice carries the emotional cadence I hoped for but never dared to expect. He got the tone of the best friend right. He even nailed Max Hastings’ last name. More importantly, he made the story feel lived-in.

This isn’t just a checkpoint in audiobook production. It’s a moment of communion.

The Garratyverse is finding its voice. And I’m rediscovering mine.
