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.”
