Okay. So I finally have a handle on when you can get the audio of “Baker’s Dozen" digitally or the CDs (arriving on December 4th). You can pre-order on Audible now but on other sites pre-ordering doesn't start until November 13th. Audible has the CDs which are expensive so maybe wait for the digital versions when they become available in November at iTunes, downpour.com and Google Play Books. And don't forget the libraries (physical CDs and digital). Woot!

Narrator Kristi Burns is terrific! I'm sure she cursed my decision to have so many characters with accents but she never said. She's a true professional and I am so grateful she agreed to narrate my book. Thank you, Kristi!

Beat the holiday rush and order your copy from audiobooks.com or wait until the book drops on Audible or in iTunes.
