What Leora Never Knew just became an audiobook, narrated by Virtual Voice, on Saturday. You may listen to a sample on its Amazon page. It’s available on its own or as an add-on to the hard copy or ebook version.
The one drawback to listening to this one without the book with the photos, the captions to the photos are included.
You might remember that I was ambivalent about having anything to do with computer narration, but I liked what I heard was offered through Virtual Voice. This one was a little more challenging to work through because of so many military numbers and phrases. For S/Sgt., the voice said “S slash” and a mushy sound. I had to stop the audio, choose the word or phrase which brought up a box where I could ask the “woman” to say “staff sergeant.” It also told me how many times S/Sgt. was used in the text and let me choose to have every one of them changed with one click.
This electronic stuff is just amazing, isn’t it!
I sure appreciate the review of this book by Steve Blake, who is the editor of Lightning Strikes!, the newsletter of the P-38 National Association, especially his comment, “This reviewer, a World War II aviation historian, was very impressed with the author’s determined and exhaustive research.”
Congratulations on the new format! I’m amazed at your grasp of technology. As Briscoe Darling of the Andy Griffith show would say, “More power to you!” I’m very leery and easily frustrated with all the changes in technology. I hope your audio version sells well. Hope you and Guy are doing well with the physical challenges.
Thanks, Dennis! It was free to set up, and they tell me how much they’ll charge for it. Thanks for your well-wishes. Hey, tomorrow I get to meet my first out-of-state well-admired author, who is stopping by!
Wonderful news, Joy.
I remember Steve’s review, but it deserved a re-read!
Thanks, GP. I’d asked to place an ad in their newsletter. Steve said they don’t accept ads but that he’d be glad to review the book. His review was better than an ad!
Going to have to check it out. Oh, i was noticing the P-38 association reviewed the book (congarats). In my research for Fly Girls, I found a gas receipt signed by nancy Love for fueling up a P-38.
Oh, what a treasure!
Congratulations on another author milestone, Joy!!
Thank you, Liz!
You’re welcome, Joy!
Congratulations, Joy! You are a modern techie marvel! I just bought this book in paperback for my husband’s birthday since he and I were both eager to read it. 🙂
I’ll admit I had to wait until a day I felt sturdy enough to tackle it! Oh, I hope your husband likes it, and you as well. Thank you, Nancy!
Oh, there’s no doubt in my mind we’ll both love it. Your zeal for thorough research leaves us no choice! 🙂
