THANKFUL THURSDAY: Blue on "Audio"

My book Blue is not on audio and, as far as I know, there's none in the works. I'm not sure why because I've given some actress the perfect opportunity to use her southern accent!

But I am encouraged by an email I received this week from Deb who lives in England. In the course of our conversation, I discovered that Deb does not have a copy of Blue in hand but she does have a good literary minded friend in the US who read the whole thing to her over the phone!

As she said, she has a really good phone package.

But still, I am quite blown away by the image of two people with phones to their ears - one reading Blue and one listening. And both crying. Or laughing as the case may be...

This story makes me want to do both.

  2. I know, Jeannie. Isn't that amazing! Apparently they read books over the phone alot. She usually reads to him but this time he had Blue and she didn't so he did the reading. What a great friendship, huh?

  3. That's an AMAZING story! How cool that they shared with you.

    Never read books over the phone but a friend and I used to have "quote books" and would read quotes to each other over the phone.
