I’m inquiring of my readers their opinions. I was approached a few days ago with a proposal to put out my novels, starting with Shadow Soldier, as audiobooks. Yes, production costs are a concern, because, while they consider Shadow Soldier a highly underrated book and something they could use to promote the quality of their literature, my daughter, the film director, wondered why I didn’t just offer the audiobooks to my own readership and distribute it myself.
I read a lot of books, both physical and digital. Used to listen to some stuff on cassette tapes while driving around for my job. Now I work from home so audiobooks don’t interest me at all. I’d much rather have new books to read, but that’s just me. But, if you do it, you should get paid well for your time and money spent in the endeavor.
I can't add anything constructive. All I will say is good luck and good fortune and thanks for your writing and efforts to turn around the collapse and demise of what I thought was a great country.
Many of the younger generation are fans of the Audio Book. When asked the respond that they don’t read but listen to books. Why is a subject too long for this conversation. Released as a whole title they listen at their own pace. Might be a platform for outreach of ideas that will not be
available to that audience otherwise. Just a thought.
There's a lot of good life lessons in all of my books, I think. I don't intentionally put them in, but they show up anyway. Good as outreach tools to the younger generation, who can usually see something of themselves in the young men who largely populate my character base, because that's when so many things reveal themselves.

It's a great idea, count me in. Personally I prefer the whole thing at once. Loved Rebel by the way.
Rebel is one of my favorites, thank you.
I'd have to think more about it. Thanks.

Do it if you want to and don't do it if it costs too much $ and time.
Maybe your film maker would take a crack at it?
Personally, I like the idea of them, but I don't want to spend the $ and don't.
I like to read, and I have read all of your books as well.
Thank you.

Seems like an opportunity to reach out to a new audience.
