Brian Fortner asked Daniel T. Jackson:

i absolutely loved the Illborn audiobook! Is there any chance of an audiobook being recorded for the following 2 books? Its really my only way to be able to finish the story so I was super dissapointed that therr wasnt more. Thank you!

Daniel T. Jackson Hi Brian, thanks for your question and for listening to the Illborn audiobook. I am delighted that you enjoyed it, and I would be grateful if you could recommend it to others.

With regard to your question, I am self-published author, and I self-published (and produced) the Illborn audiobook (at my own expense). Unfortunately, at this point the audiobook has not been commercially successful. Audible retains the vast majority of revenues on audiobooks (a result of their de facto monopoly position), even though they do not incur any of the up-front cost to produce them, and I have currently lost quite a lot of money on the Illborn audiobook.

My minimum criteria for producing the Aiduel's Sin audiobook is that the Illborn audiobook at least recovers my investment so I breakeven. If it reaches that stage, I will give serious consideration to producing the audiobook for book two. The best chance to achieve that will be if people who have enjoyed it rate and review it and recommend it to others.

Thanks again for your support. Apologies that this response is not more positive. Best wishes, Daniel
