I love your books! I read the first one and then got them all as Audible books. Unfortunately, "The Singer from Memphis" is not available as an Audible book, although your last one, "Death on Delos," is. I was so looking forward to listening to "The Singer from Memphis" and wondered why it was not available on Audible? Thanks!

Hi Carolynn,
I'm glad you like the books.
Sorry for the slow reply. It's because I don't know the answer to your question. I passed it on to those who look after rights sales, but I think Thanksgiving might be delaying a reply.
The general answer to your question is that the publisher usually buys electronic and audio rights along with print. The publisher's rights department then sells audio rights to a specialist, which in my case would usually be Audible. Why that wasn't done with The Singer From Memphis I can't explain.
Stay tuned and I'll let you know when I find out, and thanks for asking.
Regards
Gary

THE GREAT NATURALISTS by Robert Huxley says that Aristotles appointment of Theophrastus to succeed him as head of the Lyceum “was controversial.” I wonder why? I am not a scholar by a long shot but I thought there might be another Gary Corby story in the answer?
