May #WhispersyncDeal roundup: Ink Mage, The Oddfits, Neal Pollack, Wayward Pines, Evermen, Ania Ahlborn, and more
Posted on 2016-05-31 at 01:22 by Samuel Montgomery-Blinn
Of the about 300 titles in the Monthly Deals listings, 142 are listed as "eBooks with Audible Narration" which, I gather, is how the Kindle store has been listing what used to be called "Whispersync for Voice" titles these days. I'm going to continue calling these "Whipsersync Deals" and this month we get Clive Barker, Neal Pollack, Blake Crouch, James Maxwell, Ania Ahlborn, Susan Ee, Robert Dugoni, Stuart Neville, Michael Wallace, and tons more, and though again as last month there's not a whole lot of

There are 165 Whispersync-for-Voice-enabled titles on sale in this month's Monthly Deals in Kindle Books, but... there aren't too many that really catch my eye, and only a few really, really top shelf titles. But! Those are quite good ones indeed, so, as this is coming out riiiiiight at the end of the month (sorry folks!) take a quick look; and once I get through the monthly titles, I do have a few indie picks this month, including a countdown deal, as well as a new audiobook adaptation of Jane Eyre which

This one's coming later in the month than I'd like, but I've been dumping my free time into Tom Clancy's The Division and listening with rapt attention to Simon Vance's narration of We, the Drowned. Of the 164 Whispersync-enabled

Casting Call: Skyboat Media's Stefan Rudnicki and Gabrielle de Cuir on Harlan Ellison's The City on the Edge of Forever
Posted on 2016-02-26 at 17:59 by Samuel Montgomery-Blinn
I've been a huge fan of Skyboat Media for a long time -- anybody who brings more Lewis Shiner and Manly Wade Wellman audiobooks into the world gets my support, and that's the tip of the iceberg -- and when I saw that Stefan Rudnicki and Gabrielle de Cuir were planning to produce a full cast version of Harlan Ellison's classic Star Trek teleplay "The City on the Edge of Forever" I was definitely intrigued. When I saw the behind-the-scenes sound check with Scott Brick as Spock, and Brick's studio selfie with

2016 Arrrdies, Part 1: The digital regional divide of 2015: Tad Williams, Daniel Polansky, Becky Chambers, Robert Holdstock, Sarah Pinborough, and more
Posted on 2016-02-22 at 17:08 by Samuel Montgomery-Blinn
I had a blast putting together the most missing audiobooks of 2014, and I'm back for more. This year saw (in the US Audible science fiction and fantasy section alone) 3,606 new audiobooks, up a few hundred from last year's 3,267. And, of course, that number doesn't include GraphicAudio, independent and podiobook releases, and (most notably for my interests) the six new Cory Doctorow audiobooks at DRM-free Downpour.com.
I suppose that in fairness I should go back through the 2014 list and highlight some of
